What is your favorite Disney resort hotel!

My favorite Disney hotel are All-Star Music, Contemporary, All-Star Movies and Port Orleans French Quarter

For me deciding where to stay is based on one fact, transportation to the parks. Its either you can walk to park entrance, and then there is everything else. one nice thing about staying at the Contemporary, you can walk under 10 minutes to the Magic Kingdom main entrance.

I dont see spending $200 and up to stay at a resort that you still need to take a bus from to go to a theme park, and then it still makes more stops.

I want a bus that when I get on is a first stop, and the next stop is my destination. And that is the Pop Century.

I love the beauty of Animal Kingdom Lodge. (Plus, Boma is there. LOVE!) Old Key West and Saratoga Springs will always have a special place in my heart. So I guess I don't have just one favorite...OH! I can't forget Boardwalk! I love Boardwalk, too!; ▶ Reply to This

But I love, love, LOVE staying at the EPCOT resorts!! I have stayed at the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club and Boardwalk - and they truly are AWSOME! I will be staying at the Beach Club for MouseFest, and I can't wait! If I were richer, I'd stay at the Yacht Club every trip!; ▶ Reply to This

My second favorite is Port Orleans French Quarter. Love the themeing, the boat to Downtown Disney, walking along the river between there and Riverside.

This last year because of DVC we've stayed 3 times at Beach Club. Its a new favorite because of Stormalong Bay and we love the walk from there to Epcot and MGM.; ▶ Reply to This

We travel to DLR (Disneyland Resort) annually as we live in California. We love California Grand but for value I really like Paradise Pier Resort. We have stayed in non Disney Resorts and just have not enjoyed the experience so now we always stay at a Disney Resort.; ▶ Reply to This

I've also always liked Port Orleans Riverside - nice relaxing atmosphere along the water. After joining DVC, we've started staying at some others and my new favorites are Old Key West and Wilderness Lodge. The Polynesian will always be my #1 though!; ▶ Reply to This

Yes it can be busy, noisy and crowded, but I think that's the fun of it. There is life here and it's not stuffy it's just fun. We've stayed there in 04,06, and in 08.

In 2004 we stayed in the 50's, in 2006 we stayed in the 90's and in 2008 we stayed in the 70's. I keep hoping they open the classic years across the lake, but am sad to see it sitting empty everytime we go. I would love to stay in a family suite and pop.; ▶ Reply to This
