What resorts would you not return to and why?

[susy]

I have four

1.ASSp: I don't care for the theming.
2.Pop Century: Great resort, but we had a horrible weekend there.


3.CBR- slide too small; too large. Beautiful place, though.


4.Beach club- prefer YC or BWI

We will not be returning to POFQ. There was nothing wrong with the resort, it just was not for us. I think we were very discouraged by (what was to us) a very long walk to the bus stop or food court from the backside of Building 7. We also did not like the bus-sharing with Riverside. Like I said, nothing wrong with the resort itself, just our taste.

We've been to the All Stars and have no problem with them other than we have spoiled ourseleves with deluxes now, lol. Sorry your weekend at Pop will keep you from going back.

So as of now we only have on that we will not return to.

CBR -- Main pool was too small and REALLY didn't care for the hot tub being right next to the water slide and being WAY too small. Too many kids jumping in it

Room was also in desparate need of referbishing and resort was quite spread out.

Of course it has since been referbished, so it may be better now but CBR was just not our cup of tea. Much prefer POR and FQ if staying at a moderate

All Star Music.

We (DH and I) had a horrible experience staying there this past December. We were on or waiting for busses more than we were in the parks. We were woken up before 7 daily by cheerleaders practicing outside our room. And we were run over by unchaperoned kids in the food court daily.

My parents are perfectly happy there though.

We will never return to the value resorts. Tried them twice, it just did not feel like a vacation. Felt like we just stopped at any hotel along 95. Also Fort Wilderness cabins. The transportation having to get 2 busses to get anywhere was too much for us. We only ended up staying 2 days then changed resorts.

I would not return to the Contemporary. Yes, the location is great and the monorail is fun, but we found it to be dirty, dirty, dirty and we did not care for the pool surround as much. We also couldn't stand the Food'nFun center. Loud and dirty!

 

[disneydiz]

We will never go back to Pop C -- walls are paper thin, and I felt like we were in a walled fortress! I paid $1.98 for a banana in the Food court at PC, and only 40-cents for same at BW.

 

[stacy6552]

having stayed at POR, we probably wouldnt go to any moderate again in the future. We'd either stay at a value for price or upgrade to the WL.

I wouldn't return to a value resort - of course years ago when we couldn't afford anything else it was great. But, we thought the beds were awful. It was quite loud and bustling with kids, which is normal because it is WDW. But as a childless couple, it's just not our thing. I think if we did have kids my opinion would change. I suspect they love the big icons and the pools are pretty cool. Just not our thing.

I've never had the urge to try Port Orleans - I don't think I ever would. I can't explain why.

Unless I got a really really really good rate - I won't return to WL. We thought the rooms were small and dark, transporation was horrible and the CM's weren't the best - at least that was our experience. On the other hand, the resort is beautiful. I was sadly disappointed.

I have several that I am not a huge fan of, But I will never say never!!!

 

[Terk-1]

Music -- Nice resort, but too long. Had a room in the Rock building and it was quite a hike to get to and from the main building.

Riverside -- WAY too spread out for my taste. Bad experiences with CM's from the front desk to Mousekeeping.

Caribbean Beach -- Again, WAY too spread out. Check-in disorganized. Waited 45 minutes to check-in, then had to go to another line and wait another 20 minutes to get CP information for that night. Come to find out, people were going to that line to check in, rather than waiting in the main line and CM's were checking them in. Was sent to the front to wait for a van to take me to my room. Waited 20 minutes before finding out that they were supposed to send me to the side of the building, not the front. Finally, hated the fact that I needed to walk across a dimly lit parking lot at night to get to or from the bus stop.

 

[Lovetherodent]

The All Stars. I didn't have a problem with the room because our kids were small and we really didn't need so much space then. Dh, however, refered to them as "Super 8" rooms, although he admits they were much, much cleaner. The buses were awful. The were always crammed and many times we'd end up standing--not a lot of fun with two little kids.

I did love the food court, though, and my kids really liked the pool and all the theming.

 

[TINKTWINS]

I dont think I would stay in Alligator Bayou again, when we were there in April, the little wood shelf above the sinks must have some dampness isues, I kept killing little bugs. Too much money to see that kind of thing

 

[terribm]

I don't think I would ever stay at CB again. The resort is so spread out. I think I would even choose one of the value resort over this one. As far as moderates, I would love to try POFQ. It intrigues me for some reason.

CBR!!!!
Way too spread out!!! Bad bus service!!

Would not stay there again.

 

[Demosthenes]

Any of the values or moderates. I don't like the outside access rooms. I can't keep my window open and maintain any privacy. That dark feeling with the curtains closed is depressing.

I also wouldn't return to OKW. It is my least favorite of the HAFH resorts. It's remote, like FW, but without the same level of activities or feeling of seclusion of the cabins.

DW won't let me return to AKL. This resort, while beautiful, is made to be enjoyed from the indoors (or at best a balcony). There's no tennis, no jogging, no quiet pool, no boating (obviously). Also, the transportation is not great; she doesn't like sharing busses with the AK. She feels confined and isolated. It came as quite a shock to me because we've stayed there several times, but she finally told me "never again."

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

Wilderness Lodge.

While I love to visit this resort, I will not stay there again. We felt the rooms were too small, the front desk staff to be lacking, and transportation to be just so so.

I will return to eat at Artist Point, rent bikes and enjoy the beautiful lobby.

 

[HopperFan]

CBR - never again.

AllStar - but I would if the room is really discounted and I don't plan on hotel time - only for sleeping. (utilizing for onsite perks like EMH)

 

[litlpixie]

I have to agree w/ minniefan4ever, I would never stay at WL again. We had a junior suite overlooking the lake, which was beautiful as well as the lobby. But I as well thought the staff was lacking, the pool too small, and a general feeling from everyone in my family that this place just wasnt "us". I thought at first we just weren't "deluxe" people.....Until we found a home at AKL

 

[Bojangles]

WL...transportation was awful.
