I've heard that the Wilderness Lodge is absolutely beautiful at christmas. Haven't been there myself, but would love to go!

My favs at Christmas are GF, Poly and WL. They do awesome jobs of decorating there. I can still smell the gingerbread from the GF!!!

The campers at Fort Wilderness have the most awesome decorations.

I think that all of the hotels pretty much go all out for the holidays. It's the most popular time of year to go to WDW and the resorts want to immerse you in the spirit of the season.

All the resorts are lovely at Christmas. But in the two years we have been at Christmastime I would have to say the Grand Floridian with its beautiful tree and the huge gingerbread house as well as the Wildnerness Lodge were my favorites. The Wildnerness Lodge's overall theme just really goes well with the wintertime Christmas thing. I also thought the Animal Kingdom Lodge was really neat at the holidays. The good news is that whichever one you stay at, you can easily check out the others by dining at them or just going in for a look. Christmas at WDW is wonderful, make sure you go to MVMCP if its going when you are there and see the Candlelight Processional at Epcot. That in particular was the best thing we have done at any Christmas at home or away. Have a great trip!

I love the Boardwalk at Christmas. Not only is the resort lobby decorated with the huge roller coaster display, outside on the "Village Green" is a poinsetta tree, and all the light poles along the Boardwalk are decorated with Garland. And you hear that beautiful Christmas music.

I made it a point for our family to visit all the deluxe resorts just to see the Christmas decorations. We actually stayed at WL where the decorations were amazing. Everywhere you looked there was something special for Christmas. The GF's decorations (gingerbread house, garland, tree, etc.) were good also.

The Yacht Club had a train set-up and another resort had a chocolate carousel.
The Contemporary had a confectionary Pinocchio set-up and a sort of large pop culture Christmas Tree out front. I don't remember the Contemporary having anything extra special.

The Polynesian had decorations but I have a hard time with "tropical" at Christmas.

The AKL had a really interesting tree, but with two small children we did not stay there due to it being far from MK. We were only there to eat dinner.

I have a hard time getiing into the Christmas mood with all the events and making sure it is great for our family. Last year when we went to Disney during the Thanksgiving week. The vacation put me in the mood for Christmas. It was great. I hope you have a good time.

Staying at WL during the Christmas season was unbelievable. Beautiful decorations everywhere. At night there was always special music performed by instrumentalists, choirs, bellringers, etc. in the lobby.
GF was also beautiful in a different sort of way. Beautiful christmas music played by orchestra, gingerbread house, decorations, etc.
The decision would just depend on personal preference due to the themes of decorations and music. Woodsy downhome decorations and music at WL, or Classy decorations and music at GF. Either way you can't go wrong.

GF is the most festive by far.

The campers at Fort Wilderness have the most awesome decorations.

QFT! They've even made it into the local newspapers.

After touring around the some of deluxes last Christmas, I would have to say AKL was the the most beautifully decorated. WL was second, GF third, then Poly and then CR.

BC was the worst.
