WL vs. AKL vs. CS - Help Us Choose

[Kermit_da_Frog]

Here is the situation. Four of us are planning to go to Disney World for four nights from from May 28-June 1. We are trying to decide between staying at WL, AKL, or Coronado Springs. I have an AP with a code so the rate difference between CS vs. WL/AKL is $436 ($109/night) vs. $556 ($139/night) for the duration of the trip. Our party consists of two couples with no kids. All of us are in our late 20s. The other couple will be celebrating their wedding anniversary so a hotel with a romantic feel or romantic things to do around the grounds would be nice. Which is the best hotel as for as accommodations and atmosphere for young couples from the group listed above? Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

Kermit

The Grounds Are Lit Up Beautifully In The Evening.
There Are Lanterns Down All Of The Walkways, They Flicker As If Lit By Candelight, You Can Hear The Crickets!!
We Have No Kids & Love The Resort! We Are Early Thirties! (32 To Be Exact!) I Like The Bar Too, Not To Sound Like A Drunk, But It Has A Good Vibe!

CSR is a great resort but if you're getting WL / AKL at $139.00, I'd go AKL. If your still interested in saving the money, check out pics of CSR on my website below.

CSR is a convention resort and usually has fewer kids. Since your in your 20's the Dig Site is a great place. Volleyball sand court, great lounging space, awesome margaritas and nachos. Francisco's is a great place to hang out after dark too.

I would vote WL too. I love the location. Close to everything. We felt like we were too far out at AKL. Although the animals at ALK are pretty neat, but if you are not in a savannah room I wouldn't bother. Just my opinion. My husband and I enjoy the pool and beach at WL. And taking a stroll down by the lake at night to watch the Electric Water parade is always a top priority during our stay.

First, with that minimal of a difference I absolutely would go deluxe....

I would pick WL. It is smaller, much more intimate and romantic, the pool area is just beautiful (AKL is very geared for kids and full of them), you have the boat to MK, a beach to sit on and access to watersports & activities. You could throw in a PS to Jiko or BOMA at AKL and that way you can wander around and see the animals. Best of both !

I'll go along with the majority and say WL--good location, good bus transportation, love the boat to MK or Contemporary.

I loved AKL, but don't know if I would like it as much if we weren't in a savannah room. I loved the remoteness of the resort and the pool area.

CSR was one of my least favorite, but I did say at the time, I could see this being a very romantic choice for a couple. But I wouldn't pay $109 for it vs. $139 at a deluxe. I would definitely pick one of the deluxes.
