We do a lot of split stays, hence the reason we've tried so many resorts. We are trying to stay at them all one day, but have so many favorites we keep repeating that its taking a while to get them all done. LOL. I'll break our favorites down by resort level.
Value Resort:
We have always loved Movies because my kiddos LOVED Toy Story for many, many years and they loved staying there. We have yet to try AOA, and I'm guessing that will be our new favorite value. However, I must say we are pretty much done with the values at this time. With our kids getting older, and bigger, we prefer larger rooms, and nicer resorts.
Moderate Resort:
We have done them all and the only one we miss and really want to go back to is CBR. We just love the tropical feel there. We would love to be able to stay at the Poly or BC/YC for all our summer vacays, but sometimes it's just not in the cards and CBR is always our back up summer resort when we can't go deluxe for the whole trip.
Deluxe Resort:
Here is where we have several favorites. Our number one, most favorite resort in all of WDW is, hands down, Wilderness Lodge. It just feels like home. We stay there a lot, and always look forward to our trips there. However, in the summer months we prefer a resort that feels like summer. So our second favorite resort is a tie between Poly and BC/YC. We like both BC/YC, but I like YC just a tiny bit more for some reason.
My kids, ages 11 and 13, love WL and CBR the best. If the choice was up to them they would always pick one of those two, and we would never stay any place else. Looking at how many times we've stayed at those two resorts it's easy to see how often my kids get their way. LOL.
