    Boardwalk. It's beautiful, service was great, and best of all — you can walk to Epcot! Plus, the water shuttle to DHS is convenient.

    But now we stay at AS Sports...DH and I figure that the kids (11 and 6) won't appreciate Boardwalk and we're almost never in the room, so why waste the cash now?

    Of the ones we have stayed at...POR for a mod. just love the themeing and grounds. Dlx..AKL it just gave us a special feeling we enjoyed. We were club level with a veiw of the animals. It didn't bother us to be isolated. These are the two we would want to get back to.

    I'm a Wilderness Lodge girl...LOVE IT, LOVE IT....it's so beautiful and peaceful and self contained and a great location. We venture to other deluxe's on occasion and once there, wish we were at Wilderness Lodge...even our recent trip staying at BLT....we looked accross Bay Lake and wished we were at Wilderness Lodge!!!!
    I LOVE DISNEY WORLD!!!!!
    A dream is a wish your heart makes and mine came true when I retired here in December 2014! I go to a park at least once a week!

    We have only stayed at All Star Movies, POP, Coronado Springs, and Port Orleans French Quarter. All were nice places but out of those we liked POFQ best. We loved the small size and theme of the place, the boat ride to DtD was very nice. This may change if we get a chance to stay at other Resorts.

    We had breakfast at Poly one morning and walked around inside and outside a little and it looked like an awesome place to stay.

    Port Orleans Riverside for us!

    The resort is gorgeous and has everything we could ask for in a resort. Beautiful landscaping...comfortable rooms...a great themed pool and quite pools...fantastic food court and table service...the boat to DtD...extra activities like you find at a deluxe without paying deluxe prices!

    My favorite would have to be Wilderness Lodge. I just love the theme of the resort. As soon as I walk in and hear the music playing in the lobby, it feels like the Disney magic is starting already!
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday!!

    Default Best Resort

    is purely subjective. I get asked all the time which is our favorite and my response is "it depends". We've found that every resort has both pros and cons, no one is perfect. So everyone gets to answer thier favorite and be right, because it is right for them. On the same hand, you can always find an aspect at another resort that is better than some aspect of your favorite resort. My answer would then be wherever you are staying at the time because you are in WDW!

    POR Riverside !!! It's very shaded, laid back, quiet, relaxing, a multitude of pools to choose from, good food, both CS and TS, great bus route, boat rental, boat ride to Dtd, bike paths, horse carriage rides, ample rooms, .... I'm sure there's more.....these are just a few !!

    The best I've stayed at so far would be Animal Kingdom Kidani Village. I loved it so much that I themed my bedroom after it. However, the one resort I think is the best, but haven't been able to afford to go, would be Boardwalk. It's so beautiful and next door to Epcot - the latter would be awesome.

    This is true, but I will say my overall favorite is Poly because it is like an attraction within itself. However, there are times when I would like to go somewhere else. So, I get your point.

    This is so tough! I haven't been to them all but from what I've expierenced thus far I will have to go with AKL. The atmosphere there brings me to a world I'll never expierence. All have themes to the tee but AKL is my dream resort to stay at!

    The boardwalk! You can walk to two parks. Plus it's a great place to wind down after a day in the parks. Never stayed at the Polynesian but that is the only place I think I could like better.
