Trying to decide on our resort !!

liane89 · Feb 29, 2012

Hi everyone !! I need some help !! I can't decide where to stay !! :confused3

Here are the details about us....we are a family of 5....we have stayed at Poly, Contemp and GF all Club Level multiple times each !!
I am wanting to do something different...here are my choices:
1. Contemp Club Level
2. Yacht Club Club Level
3. Poly Club Level
4. Boardwalk Club Level (either standard or deluxe room)

We usually always stayed on the monorail because it was easier when the kids were younger...but now it doesn't matter as much !! So what are your thoughts !!!

Thanks for your help !!

Hummm....

OK... IMHO - in this order, and why:

1) The Contemporary - Club Level: My first love... the number one choice for me. They have never, and - in my mind - can never do wrong ! Had the opportunity to do a two-week stay, and it was like "family" - we never wanted to leave ! :wizard:

2) The Beach Club - Club Level: My ultimate "second-choice" in that it's in a "prime location" (walking distance or a short, boat-ride away to both EPCOT & DHS), great dining offerings (in-resort, the Cape May Cafe' and The Yachtman's Steakhouse) and outside the resort, but very close - the restaurants of The Swan & Dolphin, the restaurants of The Boardwalk Inn and area, and the restaurants of both EPCOT & DHS), the service, the accommodations, the decor and - last but certainly not least - the pool - are all an absolute delight ! :love:

3)If you are looking for something a little "out-of-the-way" you have The Wilderness Lodge Resort - Club Level, which also has a very nice pool area (and geyser !) and a very "rustic" appeal.... :banana:

4) The Animal Kingdom Lodge - Club Level: Although I believe the location to be a "draw-back", I must admit that the resort amenities, the restaurants and the "views" are, at times, almost breathtaking. :hippie:

5) The Grand Floridian Resort - Club Level: Simply stated - it is what it is...! You have noted that you have already stayed there (club level), so you know exactly what I am referring too ! And although you can't deny just how fantastic a stay at this resort can be... and just how much better it gets at "club-level", there is absolutely nothing that can match a "club-level" stay in the "Main Building" ! We did it once, for our "5th Anniversary" and, although it was expensive as h***, I'm glad that we did it... and it was certainly worth every penny ! :yay:

(with two nights at "Victoria & Albert's, no less ! :thumbsup2

)
6) The Yacht Club Resort - Club Level: ...was really nice, and with a super-room-upgrade, was a delightful stay, but I found the colors and decor to be a drawback (How's that for whining ! Pretty sad when that what you have to complain about in life ! LOL !) :rolleyes1
