    Default Is there a resort you hate?

    DW and I have stayed both on and off site.
    Off site:
    Hilton Gateway(doesn't exist any more)
    Caravey Inn,gone also
    Archway Inn,also gone now
    on site:
    Port Orleans,before the merge w/ Dixie
    Carribean
    All Star Movies
    All Star Music

    All in all,I really can't complain about any of them.For us ,a room is where we sleep,shower and keep our stuff.Don't need anything fancy or some amenities we never use anyway.

    Off hand...

    hmmmm.....let's see.....let me think.....

    hmmmm.....

    wait....I got one.....SARATOGA

    oh, come on....that was too easy


    I am not a fan of Caribbean (as in...I hate it with every cell of my being....)

    I think that several are not good enough for the price....namely the poly, contemporary, and Grand....

    the whole dixie-port= port = port with half the food options thing has been terrible as well

    I don't think I'd go so far as to say I hate any of the resorts, but I really, really disliked Saratoga. Will most likely never, ever stay there again. I'd choose to stay at any of the moderates and even consider the values before wasting my money at Saratoga again.

    No there is not a resort I hate. However, there are some I like less than others (Carribean Beach seems a little on the plain side to me...the theme makes seem pretty much like "anywhere else in Florida" to me)...but we still enjoyed our stay there. Will we go back...not unless all other (afforable) choices are full...but still yet, we don't hate it...its just not our fave.
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    I don't like the Swan and Dolphin. I think they look weird and really stand out from the rest of the disney area hotels in a bad way. The rooms inside were nice though.

    lockedoutlogic hit the nail on the head. Immediately Saratoga Springs came to mind. If this wasn't the case with most folks, why is that the most listed on the resale market for DVC? The numbers don't lie. Food for thought.

    I agree, I don't think they fit.

    I think the key is knowing what to expect. The Contemporary is my favorite, but I can have fun anywhere. I plan my trip differently if I stay at a value.

    Of the resorts I stayed in, Caribbean Beach is my least favorite and I have no interest in staying at the All Stars or Pop ever.

    I don't hate any of them, but I really was unhappy with AKL. The lobby was great, and I love Boma, but the pool situation was just dumb, and I had the worst customer service I have had either in or out of WDW. Won't ever spend my money there again!

    I really haven't come across any that make me say "never again". You can see where I've stayed and some are ones mentioned here. Some I like more than others, but none had any problems that would keep me from going back.
    Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

    I wouldn't say I hate any Disney resorts, but there are resorts that I will never stay at: GF (too stuffy for us), WL (not into the outdoorsy/cabin/woodsy thing at all, CBR (never liked it--don't like the colors, theme, food court and really don't care for the new Nemo and Pirate rooms--maybe if we had young kids, but we don't).

    I think that I would be happy ANYWHERE at WDW...just fun to be there. I have had a bad experience at any of the WDW resorts that I have stayed at.a

    We did not like WLV, AKL or SSR just due to their locations. Felt like it took us forever to get to where we wanted.

    I don't "hate" it, but I would probably not choose Coronado Springs again. The resort itself was beautiful, but the rooms were less than stellar. I really missed having two sinks like the POFQ resort. Also didn't care for the food court.
