help with 4night resort selection for IW.

[groomtb]

intimate wedding would be whole lot perfect if it weren't for the 4 night at disney owned resorts requirement
love to stay at the swan instead...

So, having only stayed at all star resort once, I'm quite on finding where to stay for our most important night(s) asap.

chosing from moderate and deluxe rooms

would like to get some input on which resorts to stay in with the following considerations...
(between regular and peak season)
1. intimate to fit that intimate theme...
2. inexpensive, $200~300/night. 400 even if it's deluxe
3. VIEW...building with higher elevation, something nice to look at day/night.
4. spacious all around...
5....inexpensive( if still possible after 1~4 )

does any disney resort have jacuzzi room?

like to stay away from rooms that looks and feels like a value resort room with different wall paper...

Thank you!

where & when is your intimate wedding? that might make a difference for ease to get to & from the wedding plus what will be most affordable. we choose the yacht club as were having our custom wedding there & it will be easy to get around & save us money on transportation. plus we like the new england theme & being close to the boardwalk & epcot/mgm.

my suggestion for a moderate would be coronado springs the theme is fun, the pool is great, plus theres the salon & spa/healtclub. coronado seems to have less kids than the others too as it caters more to conventioners. views of tropical foliage or the lake. for deluxe i would go with the boardwalk some of the rooms have views of the boardwalk & epcot and others like the garden suites have jacuzzi tubs. plus theres alot of entertainment at the boardwalk & the boat to mgm & epcot. or i would go with animal kingdom lodge with a savannah view from your balcony (akl is my fiances favorite resort) it has warm colors & wood, romantic rooms & lounges the grand floridian is another good option, some of the rooms have views of magic kingdom & bay lake, some have jacuzzi tubs, plus its romantic with its victorian theme & has great dining plus the monorail.

We've chosen the Coronado Springs for our wedding/honeymoon. We found it the most appealing out of the moderate resorts. I really like the theming there, and to me it seems like the resort that would have the least amount of kids.

For a delux i would either go for the Boardwalk or the Yacht and beach club - if you get a view over the lake (as its a wedding im sure you will) the views are stunning! and you can even see Illuminations if your in the right place!

wedding will likly be around Spring time at sunset pointe. Thought about staying at polynesian but it's quite costly for a nicer room with a view..


will do more research on the coronado resorts thank you.

Wilderness Lodge has honeymoon rooms that have a jacuzzi tub in them and it might work into your budget depending on the time of year your wedding is. Plus the rooms are on the top floor and the hotel is very romantic.

At the Boardwalk, the garden suite rooms are incredible with a seperate jacuzzi tub but they are probably out of your budget.

I agree with D&R_love_Disney, we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge for our Intimate Wedding (got married on Sunrise Terrace too - FANTASTIC views!) and while we didn't pay the extra to have the jacuzzi honeymoon room it was still a very romantic resort. I'd stayed there years before and remembered it being really nice and it still was. Only thing, we were there at a busy time and they couldn't guarantee a king-sized bed (we even called the resort directly a week before the wedding asking for it) so we ended up with 2 beds but that was actually convenient because my MOH stayed with me the night before the wedding and after the wedding we used the second bed as extra storage for clothes, my gown, room-service trays, etc. It is a very romantic resort and the water launch is convenient to the Magic Kingdom.
I cannot recommend the Polynesian as the 2 times I've stayed there were bad experiences and I won't stay there again. The restaurants and the luau are great though.
Coronado Springs is also very nice and lower priced. The views are beautiful (so long as you don't get a pool or parking lot view!). I also love the Caribbean Beach but I'm biased because that's the first resort my husband and I stayed at when we started dating
