While growing up my family always stayed @ Fort Wilderness and we always had a GREAT time. Thers is so much to do there. Now My wife and I brought DVC and have stayed at almost all the resorts and I must say my fav is probably Old Key West
I like the Swan and Dolphin for their value. A great location, and they usually have some type of discount going to make the rate under $200, even during peak times. This summer we are going for $159 a night!
I need to stay in all the resorts before I make my choice. I have stayed at:
Boardwalk Villas- Best, we had a 2 bedroom on the bordwalk.
Contemporary- Not worth the money and our garden room was
noisy, but we mentioned it to the front desk and
we received 15% off our stay.
All Star Movies- My kids loved it and I liked it too.
All Star Music- We had a bad experience. Large school groups
with wild unsupervised kids. Very crowded and
lacking that special Disney quality and this was
one month after Sept. 11!
My next stay will be at POFQ and I can't wait!
We thought the Grand Floridian was great. Corronado Springs was very nice also. You walk for ever in the Animal Kingdom Lodge - I would never go there again. They seem to run the most specials for AKL, I think they know too.
Undoubtly Port Orleans-Riverside (Long Live Dixie Landings!!!) The Atmosphere is Great, the Food Court is Beautiful and the pool is the best. Plus You get the Nice boat trip to D-Town Disney. Maybe 2 Resorts can "touch" it.
My all time favorite resort would be the Polynesian. I've only stayed there once but what a birthday present that was.
But a very close second is the All Star Movies. I think it is just the atmopshere of it that makes it so cool.
