I like the Contemporary a lot as well. Out of the 6 times I've stayed at Disney deluxe hotels that was our favorite trip and we weren't even in the
main tower. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing that would be. I would say I like the originals (Poly and Contemporary) the most. My opinion might change after we stay at the GF in December.

My fave is Port Orleans French Quarter. It's small and cozy. Love the music. Of course if I could afford the Yacht Club I would probably like that better.

Wilderness Lodge for me. When I enter the lobby it's magical. Got to see it at X-Mas one time-WOW! Love it.

I have stayed at the BC and my favourite is POFQ. I can spend the money for YC/BC but don't see the value in it. Maybe for very special occasions.

Contemporary
My favorite is the Contemporary. As a kid, we stayed there every summer and it holds such a special place in my heart <3. Plus, I feel like it's the only hotel where every day is exciting when you leave your room to go to the monorail because of the big open area! It's such a great start to the day to look over the railing with my kids now and see all of the characters at Chef's Mickey's -you wake up each day to the most loved characters already there in your hotel! Every time I leave I just can't wait to go back...:kiss:

My last trip was to Port Orleans Riverside. So far that has been my favorite. It was such a relaxing atmosphere and affordable. Loved hearing the horse and carriage and the dixie land music. Next time we are hoping to stay at the Wilderness Lodge. We will see if that will be my new favorite.:wave:

Contemporary
At this point, I think that my favorite is the Contemporary. I stayed there on my first trip to the World when it just opened, and recall how excited I was about the monorail passing through the hotel - being able to step outside the room, look in to the giant atrium, and see the monorail right there. The view of MK from the tower is pretty special, and I guess I'm one of the few who does not mind the look of the new Bay Lake Tower DVC addition. Now, with the renovations, the rooms are again 'contemporary'. Also, California Grill is one of my absolute favorite Disney restaurants. (Sharing that title with Victoria & Albert's, Jiko and Citricos).
(Yacht & Beach Clubs can't be beat for location - being able to walk in to EPCOT through the International Gateway is excellent and Stormalong Bay is fun ....)
There are times I would have said Animal Kingdom Lodge, since I love the atmosphere, the animals, Jiko & Boma, but it is hurt by its inconvenience and rather plain rooms.
For moderates, its certainly Port Orleans - Riverside or French Quarter. I figure I 'should' like Coronado Springs more and I do stay there sometimes (more modern, fitness center, etc.) but for some reason it just feels too much like an upmarket motel, rather than the full Disney experience.
