How many Disney resorts have you stayed in?

In chronological order:

All Star Sports

All Star Movies/Pop Century (same trip- our Hurricane Katrina evacuation trip)

Caribbean Beach (my kids LOVED this one!)

In 2 weeks we will stay at the Grand Floridian...I wanted the Poly but DH won!

I love every hotel we've stayed in. If money is tight, I will definitely stay in a value again. The magic of being at Disney is more important to me than how expensive my hotel room is! I would love to stay in every hotel on property- I still have a lot more to go!
 
OK...here's my list...

I dont' remember where I stayed in 1984 for my first trip...
Poly - 1992
Dixie Landings - 1994
All Star Music - 1996
All Star Music - 1997
Off site and I don't remember where - 1997
All Star Music - 1998
Coronado Springs -2001
All Star Movies - 2002
Carribean Beach - 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
Port Orleans - 2003

I think that's it!
 
In no particular order:

Boardwalk
Pop Century
All Star Sports
Old Key West
Wilderness Lodge
Coronado Springs

Favorite resort: Wilderness Lodge
Favorite pool: Boardwalk
Favorite food court: Coronado Springs

But I do love all these resorts!!!!!
 
We have stayed in the following:

Contemporary (x2): North and South Wing
Port Orleans French Quarter
Port Orleans Riverside (Dixie Landings)
Wilderness Lodge


However, we will be staying in Pop Century and Boardwalk Villas (Home) :cloud9: in April.

We've stayed in three. Trying the YC for the first time in April. Since I love staying near the MK, we are doing a split stay. GF and Poly are favorites, it's hard to pick one over the other. I think I would be more willing to try different resorts if we did more split stays.

Poly x 6
GF x 3
BWI
 
ASMu, POP, CSR, and CBR. Next stay is at POR. So far, I have liked all of them, except CBR. Maggie
 
I have been to WDW over 50 times... I think I am only missing one resort...the All Star Sprots:headache:

Grand Floridian
Polynesian
Contemporary
Wilderness Lodge
Fort Wilderness
Yacht Club
Beach Club
Boardwalk
Swan
Dolphin
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Port Orleans French Quater
Port Orleans River Side (miss the name Dixie Landings)
Disney Institute
Caribbean Beach
Coranodo Springs
Pop century
All Star Movie
All Star Music
Old Key West

My favorite would have to be the Polynesian:love:
 


All-Star Music x5
All-Star Sports x5
All-Star Movies x3
Pop Century x1
Port Orleans French Quarter x1
Boardwalk Villas x1
Ft. Wilderness Campground x5 (In a tent every time!)

and probably about 1/2 dozen offsite trips

We have POP reserved for September and Ft. Widlerness reserved for two weeks in October again, in a tent again!!

Ft. Wilderness is my favorite!!
 
I see everyone else is just like me. they like variety....

stayed at

WL (3x) 1st trip inside parks(WOW)sentimentally my favorite

CR tower (MK View) prior to raised prices. glad I get in under the gun
BC(least favorite)
Dolphin
BWV 3x(favorite epcot resort)
POFQ
POR
and upcoming CSR (hoping I like this best because deluxe resorts pricing is getting way out of my reach
 
CBR and CSR many times. I like CSR the best out of the two mods.

AKL and AKL CL/BWV/BC/Dolphin for deluxes. My fav is AKL CL. Now I am hooked. BC was my least favortie. BWV was a very close second to AKL.

Forgot about the Disney Institute. Stayed there twice.
Also both ships Disney WONDER & Disney MAGIC (WONDER is my fav)
Also Disneyland PARIS (twice, both at the 'pink'hotel in the park!!)
Last but not least - Disneyland Hotel California (more years ago than I want to admit!!)

Brings me back to : What is with the Treehouses? Any Plans?
 
Fun thread!

Contemporary Resort (North wing and Tower) - 4 times
Caribbean Beach resort - 6 times
Dolphin - 5 times
Beach Club - once
Port Orleans French Quarter- 4 times
Animal Kingdom Lodge - once
Grand Floridian - once
POP Century - 4 times (5th time this March for 2 nights)
Port Orleans Riverside - twice
Boardwalk Villa's (soon to be in March,07) - first

When it was known as Disney Village:
Viscount - twice
Hilton - once
 
Brings me back to : What is with the Treehouses? Any Plans?

The treehouses are currently being used by International Exchange Cast Members. (The ones from the various countries working at the Epcot Pavillions).

They can't tear them down, because if they do, they can't rebuild due to protected land. It would be cost prohibitive to remodel them for guests because now that there was hurricane damage, the extensive remodeling required would force them to make a certain percentage of them ADA accessible for guests. Apparently employee housing doesn't apply because they do provide accessible housing for their college program folks and international exchange folks. The "theming" of cast member housing is not an issue.

(Something about anything over a 40% remodel requires them to add accessibility).

Just another little tidbit, you know those small boats that go between Ft. Wilderness, Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary and Poly, GF, and MK. Those boats are quite old (been around since 71). If one breaks down enough that they have to do a 40% refurbish, they'll have to make them accessible or discontinue their use. They can continue to use them as is because they do provide accessible transportation. Apparently the "theming" of transportation is not an issue either.

This is probably TMI, but enjoy!
 
We have stayed in 9, see signature. We want to stay in all the Disney owned hotels and at the rate we travel we should have done so by 2013 :)
 
Caribbean Beach Resort (2x)
Grand Floridian
Wilderness Lodge
Polynesian (3x)
Animal Kingdom Lodge
 
Dolphin
ASMo
CSR
AK
Pop
CBR

I liked all of them but my favorites so far are BW, AKL and CSR in that order
