Saratoga Springs - treehouse villas
It's sooo hard to pick a favorite. I will have to go with the treehouse villas as we are a family of six (soon to be seven) and finally did not feel squished! Also, having a kitchen to cook meals in was awesome as 5 of us are vegetarians and 2 very picky eaters. The pizza delivery was the best pizza I have had in a long time. We always say Disneyworld is our home away from home and the treehouses really are just like a home. Ft Wilderness would be the runner up as there is soooo much fun stuff to do there (pony rides, hoop de doo revue, wagon rides, campfire singalong, movies under the stars, etc.)

CBR
Dixie Landings
POFQ (3x)
WL (2x)
Boardwalk
Poly
Pop

Favorite is probably a tie between Boardwalk and Wilderness Lodge. WL has terrific theming, great pool, laid back atmosphere and is close to MK. Boardwalk was great. Loved the fact that there was so much to do nightly and the proximity to EPCOT and MGM. Frankly, I haven't had a bad stay anywhere. Each resort had it's own positives. I love staying at new places. We're hoping for a summer room-only discount so we can upgrade to AKL - Savannah room, but not holding our breath.

Cheers,
Indy

Gosh, look at these huge lists... It seems like practically everyone goes every year. I hope you all realize how lucky you are! I live in Iowa, so a trip to WDW is something that takes a great deal of planning and saving.

I went to WDW with my parents when I was in high school and we stayed at the Polynesian. I thought it was amazing and wish I could afford to take my kids there. My wife and I have scrimped and saved to make a trip to WDW and have stayed at two mods: CBR and POR.

I really loved the theme/design of each. If I had to pick one, I'd go with POR simply because I love the lush pathways and the food court is awesome. If I had the money, I'd really like to try WL. We're planning on going in 2014, so who knows what will happen by then!

Pop Century
All Star Movies
Dixie Landings/Port Orleans Riverside
Port Orleans/Port Orleans French Quarter
Boardwalk Villas (1 night only)
Coronado Springs

Favorite would have to be a tie between Wilderness Lodge and Bay Lake Tower (home resort). The Wilderness Lodge has such great theming, but there is something about the excitement of the Contemporary, and even added that you have Bay Lake Tower as your home...

Port Orleans - French Quarter - cool!

All about coronado springs!!!

Hello All. I will be staying @ CSR in the middle of July, for the first time. I have been spoiled by previously staying @ either AKL or WL. I understand this resort is large & spread out (not as much as CBR). I have booked a
preferred room (thru my travel agent) and she has requested Casitas
#3, which is I am told is near the restaurants ,bus stop (El Centro) and a
quite pool. Could I please get some feedback from you the experts who
have stayed there. Also how far (in time) is it from AKL, as I may hang out a few nights at Victoria Falls & eat @ Sanaa or Boma. How is the bus
service, and any opinions on the Pepper Market & Maya Grill are also appreciated. Oh I forgot how long does it take to get to the different
parks from CSR. I know I am asking allot because it will be the first time staying here. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
