    Thumbs up Favorite Resort

    At the age of 18, I have officially been to Disney World 12 times... some think its sad, I think it's spectacular. After all of these years my favorite resort hands down is Port Orleans Riverside (The old Dixie Landings).

    Whats everyone else's favorite resorts?!

    First of all, if you are 18yo, have been to WDW 12 times, and have an appreciation for Port Orleans Riverside, then I'd not consider you sad, but instead imagine that you are enlightened beyond your age!

    I too love Port Orleans Riverside, but my favorite WDW resort, has, and will always be, the Wilderness Lodge!

    my favorite so far has been Beach Club, however our upcoming trip to VWL may change that!

    But BC proximity to the Boardwalk area, Epcot, and DHS is AWESOME.

    On a regular basis, we call Port Orleans Riverside home. On a splurge, AKL.

    My favorite has to be Coronado Springs, Rancho section. It seems so much like the Yukatan Pen. The rooms are classy, the food options are really good, and the bus service is excellent.

    Animal Kingdom Lodge-Kidani is a close second, but the price keeps me away.

    Surprised that the OP likes Riverside so much. It was the first resort I stayed at 10 years ago, and I was sorely disappointed. We were placed in the Alligator Bayou, which is a terrible area. Had we stayed in a mansion, we'd probably end up loving it - but AB is a terrible place inside and out.

    This is tough! I have a few favorites but because we've been to Old Key West so many times and had such great vacations there, I'd pick that one. My whole family and our friends were all there last summer for my brother's wedding weekend. We all had a wonderful time and everyone loved the resort. We also all enjoyed Olivia's. Not one cast member flinched when 13 of us showed up for dinner without a reservation

    Beach Club, hands down!! I love hanging out at the resorts and so I dont necessarily mind where I lay my head. Staying DVC makes it perfect bc then we can pool hop and hang out at the diff resorts all week long and thats sometimes more fun for me than hanging out in the parks.

    We stayed at the CR last year and that was a really nice place to stay. But, my wife and I still love the WL. We love the theming and the location. It feels so removed yet it is basically right next to the CR.

    We are staying there again in a little over two weeks.

    From my limited experience, I would have to say my favorite is the Poly. It just has a great relaxing feel to it.
