We go to WDW every year. We have stayed at value, moderate, & deluxe resorts. With the exception of the monorail resorts, I'm not sure that deluxe is worth it. We really love GF. Although I thought AKL & SSR were beautiful, I didn't see that much of an advantage over POR or POFQ. We include a few days at Universal on each trip. We always stay on-site. We usually do HRH although we have done RPR twice. We love both of them. The FOTL option is worth the price. I also love being so close to the parks that we could walk.
