Best Deluxe for Convention Stay?

[Lynn]

Hi -

We will be going to a convention in March, which is being held at Coronado Springs. We will two adults, no kids. We will have a rental car. We have stayed at the poly before twice (when going on the Disney Cruise) and loved it. We are big Disney fans and love the Disney theming - but being from California, WDW is a rare treat for us. We would like to maximize our Disney experience while on this trip and minimize the convention experience.

Which would be the best deluxe resort to stay at? My only experience is with the poly and we enjoyed that a lot. Are the Magic Kingdom resorts too far away? How long would it take to get to Coronado Springs by car or Disney transport from the Poly or Wilderness Lodge? The Animal Kingdom lodge seems closer to the convention site, but I have never been there and don't know if it is a nice place to stay? Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

The AKL lodge is one of my favorites and I think it is the closest to Coronoda Springs. It is definetly not a like many others. Where else can you sleep in the middle of "zoo". The rest of the theming is cool also.

The Epcot Center resorts (Yacht, Beach, Boardwalk) are the next closest.

It is not really hard to get from any of the resorts by car to CS. Worse case would be 20 or 30 minutes

I love AKL! The theming is better than the Poly IMHO. If you like exotic themes- AKL is for you- get a Savannah view! Plus, it is the closest deluxe to CSR.

As far as travel time, CSR is close to AKL. MK resorts are farther away, but still probably only 15 min or so by car. For Disney transportation, you would have to take the monorail to the TTC or to MK and get a bus to CSR.

The EPCOT resorts are very nice too. I would like Boardwalk Inn for a romantic stay. But, AKL is still my first choice for you.
