Do not buy churros at WDW, that's one of the first things we learned on our first trip to WDW. We found them at a cart near Space Mountain and it looked they had been sitting there all day (they probably were). Nothing beats a fresh churro from DL. We also missed the chimichangas as well, definitely not found at WDW. The one thing we love that they don't have at DL are the waffle sandwiches at MK, especially the waffle with Nutella and fruit.
The biggest factor that goes into resort selection at WDW is the bus situation. We do not like the sprawling resorts like Saratoga Springs or Caribbean Beach, where there are 5+ bus stops and you can't walk to your room from the lobby. If there is an internal bus shuttle, that's the first warning sign. For the Values, Pop Century and AoA were great because they don't share stops with other resorts. We just look at the lines for the All-Star resorts and are glad we aren't staying there.
Being a DVC member, we have tried almost all DVC resorts and we love being on the monorail line at the Grand Floridian or Polynesian. Our last trip we stayed at Bay Lake/Contemporary and walking to MK was awesome. AK Lodge was great too, only two bus stops. Our next trip we will be at Boardwalk and being able to walk to Epcot or DHS should be great, especially for the Flower & Garden event.
