Your favorite resort TO BE AT

[Mousemates]

What is your favorite resort to actually be at...and by that I don't mean what is your favorite resort to stay in because of its convenience in terms of visiting the theme parks (i.e monorail access or walking to Epcot)...but which resort would you choose, if you were going to actually spend the majority of your vacation time outside of the theme parks and relaxing/recreating at the resort itself.

My pick is AKL. (love the pool, lobby, and animals.)

[lockedoutlogic]

well....beach club is the best....

so I pick POP!...


kidding...actually, to be at, I would probably say the Poly (though the lack of hottubs irks me to no end)
I would also say Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom rank high as well.

I actually....though i don't stay there much anymore....love Dixie Landings (yes....I said DIXIE LANDINGS) and Coronado

[c&d]

It's a tie: CSR because of the pool and the grounds and WL because of the ability to rent boats and eating at Artist Point.

AKL all the way!

My husband and I absolutely love WL. We have stayed there 4 times and everytime we go there, it's like going home. The lobby, the pool, the lake, I love it all. So my vote, absolute WL!

ps-I still call it Dixie Landings too!

The Grand Floridian. I could happily live there.

For me it's a tie between CBR and POFQ.

I love the hammocks at CBR. You can just lay on them and look up at the sky. And the sky is actually blue in Florida. And I love the plants.

I like POFQ....not sure why, but the beignets are good. The palm trees and the arch things are nice too. And the fountains.

For me that would depend on time of year.

Wilderness Lodge at Christmas.
Poly in Summer
Grand Floridian in Fall & Spring

The contemporary - in the main area overlooking the Grand Canyon Concourse. It's the one thing that first amazed me the most when I was a kid and the monorail to me is such a strong symbol of wdw it would be great to just walk out of my room and get right on...

[TiggeRia]

AKL all the way!!!

[Tinkerbella16]

Polynesian all the way!!!

I have never stayed at this resort, but still name it as my favorite on property. Every trip it is tradition for me to visit the poly for a meal or to just walk around, grab a drink and chill on the beach, and take in the atmosphere...it truely is beautiful, and just being there once or twice during our stay, really makes my trips that much better. I love it there!!!

My all time fav would be FW, without a doubt. A very close second would have to be the WL

[WinnipegDisneyFanatic]

After this past trip...CSR! We both LOVED it and want to go back next October.

Probably WL for me. I love anything that exudes atmosphere and the WL definitely does that!

[LauraF]

The Grand Floridian, no question about it.

I jut love making a stop in the afternoon from MK/Epcot and walking the grounds or sitting in the lobby and soaking in the atmosphere. It's a great way to wind down before dinner.

[ChewyStriker]

Hmmm - I'd have to say AKL as well - or the Poly. Love the atmosphere and dining at both.

[MickeyMousse]

We just love Yacht Club. I would someday love to try GF and just take in it's ambience!

[goofy-4-disney]

For me it was hard to choose just one, since I like 3 for all the same reasons. My three are the Wilderness Lodge, Poly, and Boardwalk. All three offer great forms of recreation and dining.

Another vote for Dixie Landings! (and we're DVC members, no less! )

[Disneyfamilyof3]

For me, it would be one of the three following:

1) Yacht Club: for the pool and proximity to great restaurants (Flying Fish, Beaches and Cream, etc); also the Christmas decorations at the Epcot resorts are fabulous.

2) Animal Kingdom Lodge: I love animals and the dreamy kind of atmosphere , sprinkled with the African music and art, is really cool. I could just sit around and look at the animals for hours. This resort also has two great restaurants! It is also the first WDW resort I've ever stayed at, so it's sentimental

3) Fort Wilderness campground: I love this place. There's so much to do just at the campground.
