[Dynamite626]

Carribean
Wilderness Lodge
POR

Favorite: Wilderness Lodge. Planning our 3rd stay right now.
Least favorite. POR. Nice, but just not for us.

Planning to stay Fort Wilderness Cabins or AoA, for the next trip with the grandkids, hopefully summer or 2015 to save money. Wilderness Lodge is still definitely our dream resort.

 

[CinderElsa]

Interesting thread!

Grand Floridian
Polynesian (5)
Pop Century
Yacht Club

Upcoming stays: Animal Kingdom Lodge & Art of Animation

Favorite: Polynesian (obviously!)
Least favorite: Pop Century - not that it was bad, but it was not at the level of the others

Want to try: Contemporary

 

[sjv919]

I've done:
POR x4
Poly x1 (as a small child, does this count? Lol)
GF x1
AoA x1
AKL x1

We are local day trippers so we don't often stay onsite. If we do stay over, it's usually offset at a cheap hotel somewhere. But we so occasionally do our Disney vacations.

Favorite is definitely GF from our once in a lifetime trip! That'll never happen again though lmao My other favorite is POR. We've stayed there 4 times and just love it most out of the ones in our budget.

Least favorite was AoA. Hands down. We had a LM room and the door was already old and had to be kicked and thrown your weight into to open. We told the front desk who basically said sorry the LM rooms are booked up we can't move you. Never ever again.

 

[Pygoplites]

Contemporary - Tower - MK View
Yacht Club
Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House
Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village
Grand Floridian - Sugarloaf - Club Level
Wilderness Lodge
Caribbean Beach
Pop Century
All Stars Sports
Waldorf Astoria (not Disney owned, but within WDW boundary)

Hard to pick an overall favorite. At Contemporary I booked Garden Wing and got an upgrade to a high floor MK view Tower room, so that was some amazing pixie dust! I don't think I would pay full price for such a room, however. I love the savannah view rooms at AKL - Jambo House and that's where I'm staying next month.

For the money, however, it's tough to beat the Waldorf. I always get a huge suite with a theme park view for around the same price as a WDW deluxe single room with a standard view. Plus the Waldorf is a genuine luxury property, unlike the WDW hotels. The huge luxe bathrooms and excellent beds/linen are real draws for me.

Least favorite by a long shot was AS Sports. Didn't like anything about it, especially since it was before refurbishment and during Pop Warner. Very unpleasant. I have stayed at Pop Century several times and would return if I needed to do a budget trip.

I've also stayed at all three hotels in Disneyland. Really love the Grand Californian's theme park view rooms; so magical to look right out at California Adventure.

Wow!!!! I am impressed. Have been to disney world many times...but only have stayed in 3 resorts:

Grand Floridian
Wilderness Lodge

Our problem is that we fell in love with WL and AKL, and can't convince ourselves to stay anywhere else now.

[motherof2boys]

All-Star-Movies
All-Star-Sports
Animal Kingdom Lodge (Kidani Village & Jambo House)
Saratoga Springs
Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villas
Bay Lake Towers
Wilderness Lodge
Wilderness Cabins
Boardwalk

I think that's it. We own DVC Points at AKL & SS.
We're usually do a split stay in a new (to us) DVC Resort then end our trip at one of our favorites.

AKL is definitely our family favorite. We also loved the Treehouse Villas & the Wilderness Lodge. We really like the Wilderness Cabins but wish they were bigger. The Campground is really fun to hang out at.

BLT was my least favorite. I love the location but I felt the hotel was too business like.

Have stayed at

Poly
YC
BWV
OKW
POR

also stayed at
Swan

Yacht Club is our favorite

Swan and Dolphin great for price and that's our favorite location-Epcot area

 

[purplejulie456]

and which is your favorite and least favorite? Also, what resort would you like to try that you haven't yet?

Just thinking that over the many years going to Disney I've stayed a quite a few of the resorts...
Contemporary Garden Wings (before Bay Tower was built)
Poly
Wilderness Lodge
AKL
Yacht Club
Beach Club
Boardwalk / Boardwalk Villas
Old Key West
Caribbean Beach
Coronado Springs
Port Orleans (now POFQ)
Dixie Landings Plantation (before it became Port Orleans Riverside)
Pop Century
This August will be staying at AKV for first time

My favorite is Boardwalk - great location and I enjoy the area.
Least favorite tie between Caribbean Beach and Port Orleans (I just think the moderates are too big and too spread out).
Resort I'd like to try: Grand Floridian

We have stayed at:
Dixie Landings- my first time
Contemporary
Carribean Beach
Wilderness Lodge
Animal Kingdom Lodge CL

Hopefully in Nov will be staying at Boardwalk....My favorite was Animal Kingdom and least favorite was Caribbean Beach.

 

[mare1203]

We've stayed at:
Polynesian
Boardwalk
Beach Club
Yacht Club
Caribbean Beach
Port Orleans French Quarter
Wilderness Lodge
Fort Wilderness (Cabins)

Favorite: The Polynesian. We just love the laid back vibe of the Polynesian, and that it is separated by longhouses rather than one giant building. We really feel like we are can relax and are away from it all when staying there. Plus, the access to MK and Epcot are awesome. Of course, now that it's under construction for an extended period we'll probably stick to the Epcot resorts for a bit.

Least Favorite: Probably Caribbean Beach, just because it's so big and spread out. Second would be the Grand Floridian, which we found to be "tired" and in need of a refurb while we were there.
