    We've stayed value, moderate and deluxe (CR and Poly). By far, our favorite resort is the moderate -- Coronado Springs Resort. It has everything we could want in a resort -- queen beds, beautiful rooms, beautiful surroundings, great main pool, three quiet pools, largest hot tub of the moderates (and something the Poly does not have), fitness center/spa. And it is very peaceful and serene. We've stayed eight times and only want to try two other resorts (BC and AKL)--and they would have to be a split stay as we wouldn't feel we were in DW if we didn't stay at our home away from home, CSR>
    Split Stay--AKL and CSR in 2010???

    I love the Boardwalk Inn. First stayed there in 1998 after checking it out in 1996 when I was staying at the Grand Floridian. The Boardwalk just felt like finding a home. Lovely cozy atmosphere, plus the folks at the Innkeeper's Club are the best.

    The location is suberb, the boat rides to the Studios and EPCOT are fun. The view from the fourth floor is really great at any time of day. The curve of the board walk and the water create some astounding sunsets.

    I adore the lobby and the sea horse chandelier. I could keep going, suffice to say, the Boardwalk rocks.

    It's possible to visit all four parks in one day riding 22 rides and visiting the Tree Of Life. I won't try it again though. ;)

    So far our favorite is AKL, of the ones we've tried. It feels warm & inviting. The rooms are relaxing with the warm colors of the earth. There is some awesome aroma when you walk into the lobby that just fills the air

    Truly, I've stayed values and moderate and it doesn't matter to me as long as I'm on Disney property....its the disney theme, I'm at Disney even at the resort feeling, being able to use their transportation, gift shops, food courts, restaurants, towel animals.....get the point

    So far our favorite is Poly (if we could ever afford to stay there again) and Coronado Springs. We just stayed at CBR and it was really nice, great size rooms, great pool (especially for kids) and nice food court. The only thing we didn't like was that the Main Building (checkin, Magical Express stop) was on the other side of the resort. It was an inconvience on our last day there because we always take a late flight home (7PM) so we leave at 4PM with Magical Express back to the airport. We enjoy going to one of the parks and then like to go back to the resort about 1 1/2 - 2 hours before to do some last minute shopping, hang out at the pool and grab some lunch before heading home. Well at CBR that is really difficult to do because when you leave the parks you take the bus back to Old Port Royale then when you are ready you have to take the internal bus to the Main Building to catch the Magical Express (wastes alot of time). It's just much easier to have everything in the same building like the other resorts. I guess it bothered us because I was traveling alone with my DS3 (with a stroller) and DD16.

    AKL is the clear choice for us.
    AKL offers a unique experience(animals), superior resort theming, excellent restaurant options, and a great gift shop.

    I don't think it's fair to judge unless I stay at all of them!
