Well "luxury" is a very subjective term, but I would have to pick GF as well. Please bear in mind though that there is no truly "luxurious" resort at WDW, I would call them more "luxury -light".
Oh this is just so wrong on so many levels. Please don't be so quick to judge someone by the way they dress. Just because someone wears a Metallica t-shirt, (my DS13) NFL jersey (my DH) or what ever it maybe does not make them any less deserving of staying or visiting the GF.
I so agree with you on this.
Again, I apparently struck a nerve here. I don't care what you wear, or why you wear it. In fact, I get a kick out out of the families that where team jerseys at the same time. I think the Steelers hold the record for most jerseys spotted on one trip.
The point I was trying to make is, that being advertised as "the" resort at WDW, I am surprised by the dress of some of the guests there; just as I would be surprised by their dress at a five-star hotel, an upscale restaurant, a wedding, etc.
When I see a guy in a faded Dale Jr. tank top with ripped-up cutoffs, who hasn't shaved in several days sitting down for dinner at Victoria & Alberts, sorry I'm a bit surprised, and think that is inappropriate dress. Would you want someone like that showing up at your daughter's wedding? I doubt it.
I don't stay at GF. It's beautiful, but not my taste. How someone chooses to dress there is their business. There is just a time and a place for everything.
I do understand what you are staying about there is a time and a place for everything and I highly doubt that the person wearing the cut off shorts would even get down the hall to Victoria and Alberts.
I didnt even know that such a room exist...but happy to hear that it's at AKL because I feel much more comfortable here than I ever feel at the Grand Floridian
I mean I have these same random human rational thoughts and I suppose everyone has the right to have feelings
First off Go Steelers.
However, to me your post came off the wrong way. Believe me I am not playing the poor me card but I grew up very poor and was judge by what little we had to wear. So when I see a post such as yours, yes, it does strike a nerve.
But I do get what you are saying.
My apologies as I certainly did not mean to upset or offend you. I hope we are on the same page now. I couldn't care less about what someone wears, within reason; as long as they show just a hint of common courtesy and respect for the people around them and WDW (litterbugs should be escorted out of the park!).
It's not a question of who's poor or who's rich, and I fall to the lower side of the middle of that scale. If you were to take a look at the WDW website and take the tour of the GF, it is obvious they are trying to provoke an image of elegance. The message is much different from the other resorts.
While the resort itself is beautiful and the most luxurious of the bunch, it's really just another WDW resort with a bunch of normal folks running around; a clientel not much different from the All Stars, POR, CBR, etc.
Everyone has their favorite resort; mine is WL. No one needs to justify their preference. My only question in my simple mind is - other than the monorail station, what justifies the significant difference in price compared to other resorts? What's fun about it? For somewhat similar money, my choice would be the Poly, but that's my personal opinion. Yours and a lot of other people's is different, and I certainly respect that.
The great thing about WDW is that you can have a significantly different vacation within the same relatively small patch of ground in central Florida. Memories are made based on personal experiences which in turn tend to steer each of us to a particular property.
There is no right or wrong choice.
I hope your next stay is the best ever!

Like you, our friends absolutely love the Poly and would not think of staying anywhere's else. The Poly is nice but not our cup of tea.
Apropos of nothing, but...
GO BILLS!!!
Well hello from a fello Buffalo person! Did you catch the TO Show? I thought it was your average reality tv show. Now all we need is a good quarterback and maybe we will actually make the playoffs this year.
First off Go Steelers.
But as long as my Browns are in the same division I don't think a Steeler fan will have to worry about that. 
I was in WDW this past January during Superbowl week and I have to admit it sure took the fun out of it with all those #7 Steeler jerseys in the Kingdom. LOL
Another vote for the GF. We stayed there one time and enjoyed it, however, when not staying at our DVC resort we prefer either the BWI or the YC. We love the Epcot/HS location.
