I picked the contemporary because we stayed there when I went to WDW last March and it was nice and it had big rooms. We were going to stay at the Grand Floridian but My mom said that it had smaller rooms than the contemporary.But Im sure that the Floridian will be my favorite next time we go to WDW.

WL becuase its awesome and is a DVC resort. It also has one of the best eateries in the whispering canyon cafe.

I think WL and the Boardwalk are the two best themed and most beutifull of all the Resorts.

Since WL is my overall favorite, it definitely has to be my favorite here too!

Ill vote campgrounds. It's almost unfair to compare them to the others because they are so different. It's just a unique experience compared to the others which are deluxe areas with different theming. FW is an attraction unto itself!

I voted for the Polynesian! Fell in love with it during our 2003 trip and we'll be heading back this December for our 3rd stay. I would like to try WL at some point, if I can tear myself away from the Poly :D

I voted Poly just because I love the theme and it has a certain smell that always takes me back to previous Disney visits. Although now I stay in an off property timeshare which in the end is a lot cheaper and bigger than a resort room, just missing a little magic.

I've always love the Contemporary, mainly because you can walk towards the gate. It's having the Magic Kingdom right around the corner! lol :P :mrgreen:

I couldn't agree more. It's not really a "campground" like you'd find elsewhere in the states ... more like a "camping resort." the pool, the paths, the loops, the restaurants, events, trails and so forth ... you can't feel "good" about yourself if you go off and don't enjoy the campground at least part of your trip!

POLY!!!!! My parent's started taking me to WDW when I was 3 and that's where we first stayed. There's nothing like it! And as others have said, that smell! It's so lush and beautiful and the views of MK are fantastic! We won't stay anywhere else!!! :D Poly all the way!

I would have to say the Wilderness Lodge. I really like the lobby and the quietness it offers you when you are away from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

Wilderness Lodge is like home to me (being from Wyoming)
Contemporary is where i've wanted to stay since i was 4 and first heard about DisneyWorld.
Polynesian, never had the desire to even visit until last year when i stopped in to use the Conceige. now i can see what people love about it.
Campground.......I sweat in September...so tents are out of the question. Camper..if i were traveling the countryside in a bus or camper..i could see how this would be way cool!
Grand Floridian....being a hotel snob...i would have to pick this one as my favorite. but i'm not sure they could match the Ritz Carlton in Denver, so i'll stick to enjoying the parks and taking in places like Boardwalk, and Old Key West...not to mention my love of a quick trip low budget value resort. I just sleep and shower...lets get moving to the Parks!
