Which Resort AKL WL or YC

[glennsgirl762]

Hi Everyone
I am hoping you guys can help me pick out a resort for July. We are undecided on AKL,YC and WL. We will celebrating my birthday and our 25th anniversary. We have changed our minds several times so far. I have not yet booked our trip because of this and whether to take the DDP or Deluxe DDP. I wanted to do the Premium pkg. but it is expensive. We've never been to any of the deluxe resorts yet. We've only been to the mods and had 2 rooms and our DD was always with us. She probably won't be able to come this time because of work and school. We have done the DDP twice and liked it. We want to make this trip extra special for our 25th. We are AAA members and have a Disney Rewards Visa card.
Which of these resorts would you choose? It will be me, DH and our 2 DS's 20 & 16.
Thanks so much!

We love the AKL and YC. WL just isn't our style.

We love AKL because of:
-The restaurants
-all enclosed
-the pool
-the theme
-We received good service both times we went.
-The bus service is good

We love the YC Because:
-The light and airy feel
-the incedible pool
- great location
-boat service or walk to Epcot or MGM- didn't have to take the bus much
-so close to the boardwalk
- You are getting a lot more resort in my opinion!
_ the service was EXCELLENT when we were there
_ great access to lots of restaurants

I'm sure I could go on and on about both resorts. we really did enjoy both of them very much!!! I would say that I enjoyed the YC better though!!!

YC, hands down. We've stayed at WL (and will again to pacify DH about *another* WDW trip) and visited AKL. I love light, bright, and airy decor, and that is YC. The pool is also fabulous....I'm not much of a "hang by the pool" kind of person, but I am happy for hours at SAB. Epcot is my favorite park, and I loved being able to walk to it. We've had great housekeeping and friendly front desk CMs.

We returned from a split stay at the WL and AKL Oct 6. WL has a great location to MK, AKL has terrific theming and is beautiful, but it does not have a terrific location. Both resorts were great in their own way, but I would choose the YC over both. The rooms are larger, the location is fantastic (you can walk to EPCOT, ride a boat or walk to Disney Studios). We stayed at the BC 2 years ago and would choose it again next time. But remember, you can't make a bad decision because you will be at Disney World!

In about 3 weeks, we'll be checking into the Yacht Club. We're celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it's my wife's birthday. The Yacht Club is probably the most "adult friendly" of the deluxe resorts and the location is perfect for those late evening walks to Epcot. We've stayed at all three resorts that you mentioned and have liked each one, but the Yacht Club's our favorite.
Congratulations on your 25th Wedding Anniversary and your birthday. Whichever resort that you choose, have a great time.

Thanks everybody for your quick responses!
Thank you Dana49 for your congrats wishes and the same Congratulations to you both as well!!
Well it looks like it will be the YC for us. You have finally convinced us. Our boys are older now and would appreciate the more "adult friendly resort". YC does look and sound romantic as well.
Thanks again for your help.
