I just got the 2007 guide and was reading the section about resorts. The book had good things and bad things to say about each resort, but clearly liked the Wilderness Lodge and the Contemporary Resort the most. According to authors and emails from various travelers, the Contemporary has the nicest rooms/best views on WDW property. Animal Kingdom lodge ranked up pretty high. The Carribbean Beach Resort got a lot of complaints, and the authors liked All Star Sports the best from the values. I was kind of surprised by some of what they said about the resorts (although I personally have no opinion from experience, cause it's been a looong time since I've been to WDW). The thing that most surprised me was that the Grand Floridian and the Polynesian were ranked the worst in terms of outside noise (while in the hotel rooms). The authors also said they got many complaints about the Polynesian in the last year, due to a decline in service. Don't know what to make of all this, I got the book to help me decide where to stay, now am more confused! Oh well!
