Disney's Contemporary Resort is by far my favorite, and I would have to say the best. Nothing beats the 5-8 minute walk from the tower to the Magic Kingdom or being dropped off first after a long, hot, busy day at the Magic Kingdom. Great restaurants, and splendid location for commuting to other resorts, theme parks, and restaurants. The only downside is being dropped off last on the way to Magic Kingdom. Our expierence at the Animal Kingdom Lodge was not as phenomenal as the other reviews said. Our room was in crappy condition when we arrived, so we asked for a replacement. They complied, but were going to make us walk back to our room (at the end of the U), back to guest services, then back to the opposite end of the U. We tried to move to the Contemporary but there was no availability. Our view of the savannah wasn't what we anticipated: we saw nothing but fencing and dirt. Seriously! (And we did pay for savannah view) The Yacht and Beach Clubs are both nice, and so are the Swan and Dolphin. Their location is exquisite, because MGM is a short boat ride, and EPCOT is a short walk. You can watch those fireworks right outside of the hotel near the pools. I've seen the Polynesian, never stayed, but thought their restaurant services and hospitality was nice. We're planning on the Grand Floridian next year for my high school graduation, and we want to go parasailing off of one of the marinas. Fun fun! Disney Deluxe Resorts are the best!
