Does transportation play an issue when you book a DISNEY hotel?

I ws never an issue before, but it is now. I have become spoiled after 2 short deluxe resort stays, one at the Contemporary, and one at the Poly. It is just so nice to be just a short walk from either MK or the TTC. I am trying to plan a quick trip over the 4th of July next year, and I am having the hardest time choosing a resort! Is it really worth an extra $200 a night to stay on the monorail? I can't decide! It is one of those cases of I didn't know what I was missing until I had it. And now that I know how great it is to be on the monorail it is hard to give it up.

I voted "no". I pick my resort absent consideration for transportation. I think the Disney transportation system is exceptional. We have stayed at CBR, WL, Swan, BCV, AKL, OKW and SSR and have used WDW transportation exclusively on all of our trips. I am never in a hurry to get anywhere when on vacation, and love not having to drive. Yes, there are times when my bus, boat or monorail may make several stops, and I may have to make an occasional transfer, but I really don't care. The Disney transportation system always gets me where I need to go, and it gets me there safely. So, I figure, what's there for me to complain about?

My Thoughts Exactly!!! Well Put!!

I may be able to find this somewhere, but does anyone know offhand which resorts don't share buses?
I gleaned from my reading so far that one is AKL.
Thanks.

We choose resorts that have minimal, if any internal stops. So that means All-Stars, Pop Century, or POFQ for us. We don't stay deluxe so AKL is not an option.
