    I just love the POR. One of my favorite things are the grounds...even when we have a room that is far from the main area - I love the walks. I even have gotten up early as DH gets a shower and walk over to get orange juice.... I love it. We also love just to sit on the benches and relax! Love it...will be there in 7 days!

    Love so many things about the Beach Club, but walking around Stormalong Bay in the evening with the lights on is unbelievably relaxing. So is the view, the walk around the lake, on and on and on.

    There's no way I could choose just one.

    SSR - sitting by the quiet pool at Congress Park, watching the balloon at DTD take flight on a sunny day.

    OKW - if you're on the ground level, waking up in the morning to a duck tapping on your patio door. Cutest panhandlers ever.

    BWV - watching an afternoon thunderstorm come across the lagoon, then walking to Epcot after it's blown over.

    First of all, what a great question! My favorite resort is the Wilderness Lodge, but narrowing down a particular thing to be my favorite is not so easy. I think the juxtaposition of grand and rustic is what makes WL so special. Nevertheless, if I had to choose something more specific, I'd go with the smoky smell of the fireplace and the wood burning ovens of Artist Point. Love it!

    POR because of the quietness and beautiful scenery.

    POP because of the themes of the different areas and the closeness to DHS and Epcot.

    Cool

    The Grounds at CSR area beautiful. I love the lake at dusk.

    I love the Poly, although I've never been able to afford to stay there. Its totally immersive when youre there. One day maybe we'll be able to afford it.

    I love EVERYTHING about Wilderness Lodge. The grand lobby, the craftsman lanterns everywhere, the lincoln-log look, the smell of BBQ, the surrounding pine trees, bay lake and the beach, the proximity to the Magic Kingdom, the green roof, the waterfall, the guyser, the Mercantile, the boat dock, the rocking chairs, the black granite counter tops of the vanity area, the Native American motif......but I think my number one favorite thing is......the reproduction Stickley furniture in the lobby. Yeah...that's the ticket.

    There is a spindle settle there that is my DREAM couch. Mommy want.

    The lobby at POR - the ambience (the smell, the jazz music playing) just instantly brings back all the happy memories and gets me excited for my stay!

    The music at BWVis the thing that does it for me. It instantly transports me to a time of dancing and flair of the roaring 20s. I always imagine my grandparents listening to that music.

    Second it is the smell - early morning go out onto the Boardwalk to walk down to the bakery and the smell of the water, the damp wood, and the bakery is intoxicating.

    Second favorite resort - Bay Lake Towers - and it has to be THE VIEW! I loved walking over the bridge everyday multiple times to do whatever and seeing the castle and monorail.

    Its hard to name just one thing lol..

    My favorite resort is POFQ and the things I love about it are:
    Boat transportation to DTD
    Atmosphere & Look of Buildings
    Quiet & never crowded (at least when we go)
    Bus rides to each park are short so the location is great!
    Resort is small so no matter where your room is, you are close to everything.

    Sorry.. I just love POFQ!!!!
    Been there, Haven't done it all...GOING BACK!!!

    Next trip "Home" - September 3-10th 2016 at the Beach Club Resort! Giannas 1st trip to WDW!!!
