The Best Disney Resort.

[1stStarIC2nite]

Which resort do you think is the best in WDW?


I personally really like the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The theming is absolutely fabulous, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is one of a kind. I think this is an awesome resort...

Of course, I also <3 Old Key West... but anyway...

Some of the names might techinically be incorrect, but I did it to save space...

Wilderness Lodge. We stayed at Contemporary North and weren't too impressed. . . but I love the proximity to the MK. . . hearing the train whistle in the morning.

if i said my home okw then that would be kissing up but it is a great place.... i have to say boardwalk or beach club for the fact that you are right in the middle of everything and can walk to both mgm and epcot:wave:

 

[MagicalMonorail]

Thanks! You've given me another excuse to make a poll. I'm going to go make one right now. Vote for your favorite Disney Resort.

 

[MagicalMonorail]

Wait, I just saw that you already have one. I was going to try to put the rest on there but nevermind. Good poll!

 

[wdwfan22]

My vote goes for the Polynesian after all its a Southseas paradise

 

[GenerationX]

For their middle of the World location and fabulous pool area ... the Yacht & Beach Club resorts.

 

[wishIlivedinWDW]

My vote went to the Polynesian. However, if for some reason that did not exist, I would not hesitate to name Beach Club (ahh, the pool)

I've gotta go with All-Start Sports. It's not the "nicest" resort, but it is the best value, all the perks of Disney, for about the price of a Holiday Inn.

 

[BeachClub]

Beach Club...can you beat the pool?! I think not! Can you beat the walk in to Epcot?! I think not!

Stayed there for 2 weeks in June 03 and will never stay anywhere else again...planning our next 2 week trip ... and possible DVC purchase. I know BC is no longer offered with DVC but I am hoping for resales. (fingers crossed)

I really dig Port Orleans Riverside. I've only stayed at a couple of the Disney Resorts, but it is by far my favourite.

Shades of Green. Once it reopens. Secluded, but close to The poly to catch the monorail. They have their own busses for transportation, discount tickets. 2 pools, 2 places to eat, and its all tax free. Plus you get all the Privileges of staying at a disney resort

 

[bdhowell]

Wilderness Lodge or Beach Club

 

[maxime29]

Grand Floridian for me. I love the Victorian theme (and the fact that the monorail runs through it).

 

[surfsupdon]

Everyone knows I wold ahve picked Caribbean Beach b/c I and my fmaily absolutely love that place after 12 vacations there.

HOWEVER, we just did Yacht Club and it was exquisite and that is where we will be staying for further trips. The location, big pool and quiet pool, and level of service was great. My vote went to Yacht Club, but CB has many, many, many memories built up over all the great years.

Polynesian. Been there three times and going again in May.

Great theme. They really pull this off. The landscaping has really filled in over the years. Walk down the pathways at night and, with the lush gardens, the torches and the music, you really feel like you're somewhere in Polynesia (until you get the bill; then you realize you're in Disney :lol: )

Great crowd. Whether you are going as a couple or a family of 5, you will fit right in. My wife and I went there for our honeymoon. We felt like the place was made for couples. But the resort is very, very kid-friendly too. I stayed there twice when I was a kid. There is a lot to do and the place is pretty rustic so it's built for kids. That's my one knock on the GF. I feel like they would kick my kids out for breaking things or being too loud.

Great food. Kona Cafe and Ohana are great. Captain Cook's is as good a fast food place as there is on property (as long as you are not in a hurry because they can be slow).

Great location. This is hard to beat if you will be spending a lot of time at MK. You have the monorail running right through the resort, friendships to MK, and the TTC is a short walk away.

Great price. Ok, not quite. . . . Ok, not at all. If you have to take price and value into the equation, then I move the Poly down a little. When you stay there, you really want a lagoon view. The garden views are great and much better than your average garden/pool views. But IMHO, nothing beats seeing the Castle from your window. But you pay for it and, unfortunately, it's too expensive.

BTW, I think I read somewhere that it is rude/insulting to call it the Poly. Anyone ever hear this?

Anyway, just in case you missed it, I love the Poly and that's where my vote goes.

Of the few resorts we have stayed at I would have to say CB. Our budget hasnt been able to afford a higher priced resort yet, other than when my parents took me about 17 years ago to the Contemp.

Definatly the Animal Kingdom Lodge, its an absolutely incredible experience! :sohappy:

 

[StevenT]

I enjoy Port Orleans and Dixie Landings (I never did like the re-name). I personally think they are the most beautifly themed of all the Moderate resorts.

 

[GoofyFan1]

I really enjoyed the Caribbean Beach. We stayed in Aruba, and I liked the morning walk across the island for coffee. However, for the rest of the family there was a lot of walking at night when they were beat.

So........

This summer we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and everyone LOVED it. We are going back this Christmas and would like this to be a yearly Christmas destination from now on.

My vote: The Wilderness Lodge!
