I am curious as to everyone's favorite resort and why? I'll start.

Mine is AKL

Reasons Why:

1. We love the atmosphere- We are animal lovers so it is a natural for us.

2. Theming- We enjoy the subtle touches of this resort. The theming is done so well that you have a hard time believing you were not in Africa.

3. Location- Now I know that many think it is too far away from everything. For us this is nice. You dont share a bus with another resort. The bus rides never seem too long and allow for us to figure out our strategy for the day.
Ok now it's your turn. I would love to hear your favorite!!

We love the pool, plus location, location, location. We love that you can walk to Epcot in 5 minutes, or a 20 minute walk to DS.

Polynesian:

1) Location- You can't beat the location of this resort. On the monorail route and the 7 Seas Lagoon. The view of the Magic Kingdom at night with the fireworks is priceless.

2) Food- 'Ohana is my favorite restaurant on the planet so if you have it on your property that scores mega points! Plus having a character breakfast is also really convenient.

3) Theme- It may not be the most themed resort on property but to me it is like walking into an oasis. The lobby is awesome, it seems like a breath of fresh air. Nothing like being at the parks all day and coming back to Hawaii at night =)
 
1. Beaches and hammocks at a moderate price

2. Size - with it being spread out, it's really quiet by the room, plus there's always a bus stop close by....

AND I'm one of the few who REALLY like the theme. Come on! A space port is much cooler than a Florida plantation house or a beach club... pixiedust:
 
Wilderness Lodge............

Location: boat to MK, located on the lakes with access to FW

Price: one of the cheapest deluxes

Themeing: Quaintness, quiet relaxing atmosphere, huge lobby
 
Used to be Wilderness Lodge since I love the theming,but the Beach Club has jumped to the top mainly due to it's location since you can walk to EPCOT,MGM and the Boardwalk and that it has great atmosphere in it's pool area.WL would still be my #2,followed by the Polynesian at #3.
 
I actually forgot about the restaurants, but they may have to make my updated list since we love Boma:rotfl2:
