Hey Chernabog, have fun at Coronado Springs! Sounds like a winner based on this poll!

Wow 99, that was a low blow. You have just put a huge damper on my family's grand gathering holiday extravaganza. That was uncalled for.

Had I been given the chance to change my vote, I would have to say Yacht Club. The pool is amazing and the cast members are the best.

I love POP Century. I get bed and a shower at an affordable price and if I want more atmosphere I can always go visit a deluxe resort 8-)

I really like French Quarter. This year we are staying at POP at my son's request. He likes the big icons and the bowling pin pool.

The Wilderness Lodge is my favorite by far. I love the cabins- you are out in the wilderness, away from crowded hotel rooms, surrounded by trees and nature. It is so serene and pretty, And I love having a kitchen. Nice way to save money.

I picked Wilderness Lodge which is the one I want to stay at next. So far each resort has it's own charm. :)

You definitely make a great point on that. I do find that the theming in each resort evokes a different reaction from you upon entrance. I have yet to find one that makes me want to turn back and leave.

I'd really love to stay at the Polynesian. Don't know how I'd talk my wife into spending $300-plus a night (and that's in the off-season), but if money was no object that's where we'd stay.

Well I can only vote for one because I have only stayed at one for now LOL!! I really enjoy the theming a Pop Century. However one day I really really want to stay at the Wilderness Lodge, that place just looks completely stunning to me.

Okay, I just got back from staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter.

I am going to make a post about my whole trip, but I wanted to make some notes about the hotel.

First off, I REALLY liked it. All of the rooms are pretty close to the central hub where the checkin/food court/pool is.
The room was not huge, but it was nice. It was clean, the air conditioning worked well, the maids were really good about cleaning and restocking our room as it needed it.
Check in was very fast, and the food court was pretty good- the portions were a bit hit and miss. The mufaletta was great!
I did not get a chance to get in the pool, but it looked pretty cool and was popular, and I loved how they had a little secluded hottub.
I actually kinda wished they had more tv channels for when we chilled in the room at night. A lot of channels were the same but in CC, and there were not a lot of channels besides Disney ones! :)
I also wish there had been wireless internet. we were never able to get the net working in our room, and it would have been nice to upload my pics as I went, since I have well over 1000. I would pay for wireless if it was available!
We were close to the bus stop, and the buses were pretty good timing wise, no real complaints there. Also there was plenty of parking for the car I hardly used.

Overall I am very happy with it and I would definatly stay there again, though I will always say that the Fort Wilderness Cabins are my favorite- but the French Quarter is a close second.

Swan/Dolphin or Coronado Springs are nice for business trips, but I'm not sure I would like them for vacations. I like Pop Century because it's affordable and I had better experience there than All Stars. A rental home in Windsor Hills was great for a large group.
