Business Trips:
POR since my client's office is right behind POR. I like the expansiveness (which I know isn't for everyone) and relaxed feel without in-your-face Disney theming.
Solo / single child trips:
Value to save money. I figured the kids would love the theming (especially my sports oriented DS5) but I was wrong. The winner is...
Multi-child / Family trips:
Beach Club - with two potentially tired kiddos proximity wins out. DS5 and DD9 say EPCOT and DHS are their favorite parks. MK doesn't really trip their trigger. Kids love SAB, thinking walking to EPCOT beats the bus, and beg to go to the lobby to watch TV. Ummm, guys, there's one right here in the room.
Romance trip:
POLY. I had a couple things happen during our romance week last year (left my electric razor at home and injured my foot) and Dennis at the concierge desk delivered the best Disney service I've ever had.
What I don't like - Swan and Dolphin. I did a visit there recently and it was just too much like the hotels I stay in the other 40 weeks of the year (I'm a road warrior at work) and just didn't give me the vibe. Great places, nice places, but just the vibe I want for R&R time.
