Favorite Disney Resort

What is your favorite Disney Resort?  If you haven't stayed at one yet which one would you most like to stay at?  If you are a frequent Disney visitor what is your favorite Deluxe, Moderate, Value or Vacation Club resort??

My favorite Value is all star music
My favorite Moderate is Dixie Landings (I know its Port Orleans Riverside now!)
My favorite Deluxe is Wilderness Lodge
My faorite Vacation Club resort is a close race but I would have to say Old Key West for old time's sake!

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

One resort that I feel may get alitte passed over is Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. It has wonderful themeing and I really feel i'm away on an island....a whole different world. Ofcourse thats Disney Magic for you. The restaurant Shutters was delicious with an island flare. All the way down to the spicy jerked wings. Highly recomended!! wink

If you're looking for a place you can relax and still be in the middle of it all. This maybe the resort for you :exclamation [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

Well so far for me...I LOVE Ft. Wilderness.  It is so much like home, maybe because you take you home with you and it's always convenient to take your best friends with you (the pups).  We just rent a golf cart and travel around as if we are in our own little town and the people are always sooooo friendly.  It's nice to be able to go over and pet the horses and ponies too and the Campfire that they have at night is great.  The only let down is that you have to drive there with a motorhome and flying is so much more convenient, but such is life, huh.  What the heck....you are in DisneyWorld!!!!

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

It is very hard for me to decide which resort I like the most because they are all so unique and special in their own way, but if I have to choose I guess I would say Old Key West because I have so many great memories there with my family.  I am also kind of partial to the polynesian because that is the first resort I ever stayed in and I love the tropical theme of the resort.  It is very relaxing.  I also enjoy the resort that used to be called Dixie Landings but is now, Port Orleans riverside.  Like I said before, I really enjoy all the resorts in Disney.  I think it is worth to take a day and just go from resort to resort seeing what magical things each one has to offer.  [smiley=mickeymousehat.gif]

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

I agree....every disney resort is special and I have never stayed at one that I didn't like!!  I too love Fort Wilderness Aunt Sher!  I love how you said it is like your own little town.  It truly does feel that way...plus even though you feel like you are a world away from everything you are only a boat ride to the Magic Kingdom.  
The Polynesian is a good one too, Disney Princess...ironically it is the first place I stayed in Disney World too!!   roll wink

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

My favorite value would be the allstar movies
Moderate would be the port orleans riverside
The deluxe would be the grand floridian followed by the animal kingdom lodge(not everyone likes this place but i really did)
As far as dvc resorts Saratoga Springs was nice for the DTD walk and old key west for its florida charm
But I like the wilderness lodge the most.

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

Does anyone have any resorts that they especially don't like?? [smiley=angry.gif]  I can't really think of any that I have disliked.  Any bad experiences you'd like to share?  Who knows...maybe there aren't any bad ones!  [smiley=cool.gif]

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

Well, we love Port Orleans Riverside...we ALWAYS get to check in whenever we get there no matter the time of day and we ALWAYS get the building we request (34 or 36 in Alligator Bayou) these are near the 'quiet' pool and near bus stops (which helps when you are carrying sleeping children back to the room late at night!) It's really amazing how this has worked out for us atleast 4 times that I can think of...and the boat ride to Downtown Disney and dinner at the Rainforest Cafe on our first night there (which we always do) is sooo nice...and did I mention the banana stuffed, strawberry covered french toast at Boatwrights?? Or the Sweet Potato Pancakes??

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

I can definitely say that disney world food is too much to resist....I swear it would be smart for me to diet the rest of the year and just eat like crazy in Disney.  I am going to anyway!!! [smiley=yahoo.gif]  But hey...at least you walk it off right??  wink wink

Re: Favorite Disney Resort

I have to agree with you there fairygodmother!!  I too love OKW!!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif] When Eric and I stayed there on our most recent trip it affirmed my love for OKW even more.  [smiley=dance2.gif] I feel like the rush of the Walt Disney Resort is almost non-existent there.  When you get back into the resort there is nothing to do but sit back and relax.  [smiley=beach.gif] From the colors of the buildings to the lay-out, the golf courses, the pools, the themed music.  I LOVE the atmosphere and truly do feel welcomed home every time I go back!!  [smiley=sunny.gif] I still have to check out the new slide at the main pool though...anyone tried it yet???
