So How Many Different Disney Resorts Have You Stayed at....

Animal kingdom lodge
Animal kingdom Villa- Kidani
Villas at Wilderness Lodge
Wilderness Lodge
Cabins at Fort Wilderness
port Orleans Riverside
Port orleans French Quarter
Contemporary
Polynesian

Favorite- Animal Kingdom Lodge

Least Favorite- Cabins at Fort Wilderness
 
We generally stay offsite, so my list is quite short.

In order:
Wilderness Lodge
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Caribbean Beach

Ranking them was tough; I'd give Wilderness Lodge a very slight edge because of its theming and location. Was pleased with all three though.
 
I've only stayed at Art of Animation. My friend and I split the cost for 1 night and while it was nice, I can't justify that price again. It was almost $200 for the two of us for the big room, with a discount. >_<
 


and which is your favorite and least favorite? Also, what resort would you like to try that you haven't yet?
I've stayed at:
POR (years ago, don't remember it well)
POFQ (favorite)
Coronado Springs (least favorite)

In the future, I'd like to stay at:
WL
AK
Swan
Poly
Pop (if I were on a tighter budget)

Boardwalk Inn

Let's see....

I have stayed at:
Grand Floridian
Polynesian
Contemporary (Main tower, both wings when there were wings. Now it's Bay Lake Tower I think)
All 3 All-Star resorts
Pop Century
Coronado Springs
Dixie Landings (when it was called that)
Swan and Dolphin (although there aren't really Disney resorts)
Yacht and Beach club (both)

There probably others I can't think of right now.

Two that I would like to try are AKL and Wilderness Lodge.
 


We eventually plan to stay at all of the Disney resorts. Although we fell in love with AKL and have stayed there the most. So here is where we have stayed :)

Animal Kingdom Lodge x5
Bay Lake Tower x2
Contemporary
Polynesian
Coronado Springs
Carribean Beach
Pop Century
Art of Animation
All Star Movies (I count this as all of them as they are connected)
Disney's California Adventure
Disneyland Resort Paris

My favorite has been Animal Kingdom Lodge. Although we are staying at Grand Floridian in Sept so that may change.

Least favorite is prob All Star Movies. Just cause once you are accustomed to the Deluxes it's hard to go back lol.
 
Caribbean beach x3
All star movies
Wilderness lodge x3
Upcoming stay September 2014- Beach Club

Favorite- we love Wilderness Lodge. Find it to be on the quieter side, and it is really beautiful!
Least favorite- All Star Movies. 2 reasons- 1 is that we were there the same time as a cheerleading comp and there were screaming girls everywhere at all hours of the day and night, and 2 movies was the third stop for the buses and they were always full when they got to us. Thankfully we rented a car that trip.

Resort I want to try next (after this year's stay at Beach Club)- Animal Kingdom Lodge
 
All Star Movies
Polynesian

Favorite overall: Wilderness Lodge. I love the theme and the execution of that theme.
Favorite Moderate: Port Orleans Riverside
Least Favorite: All Star Movies. I won't stay at a Value again no matter what the price
 
Value:

Pop Century
All Star Sport

Moderate:

Coronado Springs
Port Orleans (not sure which, first visit and I wasn't the Disney nerd I am now... suppose I'll have to visit both soon to make sure I've hit them)

Deluxe:

Villas at Animal Kingdom (Savanah View)

West-Side Disney:

Paradise Pier
Disneyland Hotel
Aulani

Favorite: Tough, but I'll give it to Animal Kingdom, though we had a great time at Coronado.... and neither compare to Aulani (or Disneyland Hotel)

Least: Sports, although Pop was fine as a place to stay for the value.

Upcoming: Beach Club and Art of Animation

Wish List: I think Wilderness Lodge seems pretty awesome, and maybe a royal room at Port Orleans
 
POR
ASMU
Coronado
Ft Wilderness Cabins
BLT
Old Key West
AK-Kidani

Kidani is our favorite because of the themeing, remoteness, pool area, and close access to off site dining and shopping on Hwy 192

BLT is next because of of the great views and park access.

Coronado gets honorable mention for themeing, it's very romantic
