What resort have you stayed at and would NOT stay at again?

[missymouseworld]

AKL

Couldn't stand walking thru hallways, upon hallways, upon hallways to get anywhere. I would rather be walking outside in the beautiful Florida weather.

[Mark & Donna]

We thought the POFQ was fabulous! Very nice decor inside and out and very quiet too. We loved just strolling along the "streets."

[Mickey91]

I have stayed at all the values, mods (except for POFQ) and three of the MK deluxe. I have to honestly say the only resorts I do not ever plan on staying again are those outside of WDW. Now, have my stays always been perfect in every way? No. But they have far outshined any offsite place we have stayed and we are in the middle of the magic.

[mouseketeer mom]

We feel happiest when staying at a monorail resort, but there are no resorts at WDW that I wouldn't stay at. If I had to pick a least favorite, it would be Saratoga Springs.

The Dolphin and any of the All Star's... POP however, in a pinch.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

We've stayed at All Star Movies, All Star Sports, Pop Century and Coronado Springs, and I would stay at any of them again with no problem.....

[coneygoil]

The All-Star resorts. I stayed at the Movies several years ago. It was okay, but the other All-Stars seemed so blah.

[azcavalier]

We've stayed at all of the All Stars, POR, and Boardwalk Villas. We would stay at any of them, EXCEPT for All Star Sports. The themeing was cool, but that is where it seems all of the Pop Warner groups and cheerleading groups stay. We had kids in the pool until late, running up and down the walkways outside of the rooms, knocking on doors and running away at 1am, etc, etc. It was a nightmare.

We did have an issue once when checking in to All Star Movies...we got there late (10-11pm ish) and we couldn't get into the room. We had to go back to the front desk twice, and also called once before we finally got someone to come an open the door for us. The card reader had reset and didn't know which room it was, so our room keys wouldn't open the door. They had to reprogram the thing. We had three small kids waiting (two fell asleep on their coats on the concrete outside the door), and it wound up being midnight before we could get in the room and put them to bed. But every other time we've stayed at AS Sports, it's been great.

AKL

It's funny ... I had this same reaction to AKL the first time I stayed there because our room was all the way down one wing of the hotel.

But the second time I stayed there our room was much closer to the lobby and we really enjoyed it.

I'd do AKL again even though I used to say I never would.

I don't think I'll ever do CSR again either, come to think of it. I didn't really care for it very much. Felt like a low-rent copy of CBR to me. Architecturally it's identical to CBR, in fact. It just has a different theme.

[tnpoohbear]

I would have to say POP - we were there about the first year after they opened. Our building was so far away and just too far to get to the bus stop and food court. Also the cast members there were just not very nice. That was the only time ever at a resort where we encountered rude cast members. We decided we would never stay there again!

[MNNHFLTX]

I probably won't stay at the All Stars or Caribbean Beach resorts again. Whether it's the layout (CBR) or the noise outside at night and chaos in the food court (All Stars), they just don't appeal to me.

I had something similar at movies. At the time, my DH sent just me and my 5 year old to Disney for a surprise. I had a HUMONGO sinus headache on the plane ride over and of course, no meds. Felt like my eyeballs were gonna pop out and roll down the aisle. Got to ASMu at about 12:30 am and there was no one available to help us to our room -- which happened to be in the Country building as far from the lobby as possible. Here I was carting luggage, carrying a sleeping 5 year old and about to have my head split open from pain trying to find the blessed 3 story cowboy boot!!

[buzznwoodysmom]

I wouldn't stay at SSR again. I just didn't like it at all. And we'll probably never stay at the values again, unless its for one night before our longer reservation at a different resort.

[starryeyes21]

As surprising as it may seem to some people I would never stay at The Wilderness Lodge ever again. My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon and we were not very happy. Upon entering our room we discovered that, yes, there was a King sized bed like we requested but it also had a wheelchair accessible bathroom. This made the bathroom huge and the actual room small. Also, the room was dingy and dirty and it overlooked a scummy pond.

So, we marched ourselves back to the desk and were met with no help at all. The manager acted as if it was common knowledge that king rooms come with wheelchair accessible bathrooms. My argument was "How hard would it have been to tell us this over the phone." So, after some arguing we were moved.

The next room was no better. Again dark and dingy and overlooking a parking lot and a smoke house. Being a vegetarian this was highly objectionable to me. At this point though we let it go and decided to stay.

Mousekeeping was terrible. The room never once felt clean. I had this horrible suspicion that my towels were never laundered just hung back up. This resort was no worth the money. It felt like a waste.

Also, my displeasure my have also stemmed from the fact that we had spent three days at Universal's Portofino Bay Resort. It was just lovely. For the first time I felt that Universal had outdone Disney in every way. From the staff to the rooms, the experience was top notch.

So, I would never be hesitant to spend top dollar at Universal hotels because they have shown themselves to have high standards for hotels and service. I can not say they same for Disney and as it stands right now will not go above moderate accommodations.

The same thing happened to me at ASMusic! It happened at around midnight and I didnt get inside my room until after 1am!

Still, as bad as that experience was everything before and after was good. If i HAD to, I would stay at an all star again, but I am going to try not to...

[Buttercup]

I wasn't impressed with All Star Music. I liked ASMovies, and POP (never stayed at Sports). I just wasn't thrilled with it - nothing in particular.

But I will say, I'd rather be at All Star Music than a Holiday Inn off-site!

[Wishmaker]

Believe it or not i really like this post. It shows us all how there is something for everyone out there. That expectations etc are all different. There are however, numerous similarities.

I love all the disney resorts. I had some Mousekeeping issues at a few, but I don't think I will include them in the decision of staying or not staying somewhere.

I have stayed at: Wilderness Camp grounds, ASMovies, CBR, POP(3) AKL, POR (both riverside & french quarter).

My first would be ASMovies only becuase of the bus issue, I am scared about that, some people say they no longer share but... I just wouldn't chance it.
CBR as many others had said, way to spread out. I just didn't care for that part.

However posts are correct that POP is loud and busy, but the time we go everything is so busy we take it in stride. I am a hard sleeper and I completely wear myself out so I hit the hay when we get to the room and I could not tell you what goes on around me.

[PetefromRI]

This is a great topic and to be honest,I love all the resorts,just some better than others.I think it's all relative though.I'd have to say our least favorite was the Beach Club for these reasons:too crowded pool and pool area with no place to lay out.We didn't like the fenced in area around the pool.No foodcourt with lots of choices like the mods.Very snobish feel for us.Room wasn't ready until 5:30 P.M. and the pool closed way to early.The location of the resort was the best though if your a big Epcot fan which we are.
Like I've said,everything is relative though.If they offered the BC for a value price I'd go back in a heartbeat but overall it just didn't do it for us for the price we spent.

[Darbylew]

We have not stayed at all the resorts at WDW
but the ones that we have stayed at have been
great. I do not have any complaints about any
of the resorts that I have stayed at. My very
favorite by far is POFQ. Just being
at WDW is enough for us!
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT AND GOING BACK IN
MAY!!!!!!!!!!

[DisneyOtaku]

I have to say, I probably wouldn't go back to the CBR. It was our first Disney hotel, so I love it for that, but the grounds were just too big, and it felt like forever to wait for the bus.

And while my stay was nice, I probably wouldn't go back to the POP. We went on the off-season, so it wasn't crowded, and I liked the food court...but I can just imagine what it is like during the summer
