Campgrounds for me. I love camping, its like your on two vacations in one. you can stay in the campground the whole time and still have a great time. And besides you get to stay in a place you are more familar with, your camper.

I had to cast my vote for the Wilderness Lodge. I think it is the most kid-friendly and gives you a great Disney experience at a reasonable price.

Nothing can beat sipping a Mai Tai while laying in a hammock on the beach at the Poly, watching the sunset across the Seven Seas Lagoon. Cool breeze blowing--soft tropical music playing in the distance--waves lapping at the warm sand. That's heaven on earth, baby.

I voted Wilderness Lodge, because that's the one that I liked as an adult... (Stayed in the Poly twice as a kid, and I'm sure I liked it). I've also stayed in the Grand Floridian as an adult, but didn't think it was worth the cost.

Dude watch the smilies.

My vote is for the GF... the architecture is awe-inspiring, and the location is the best.

I always thought the Contemporary was so cool because it had that huge triangle shape and it was really neat going through the atrium on the monorail.

I've stayed at all of the MK resorts except the campgrounds and my preference is the Wilderness Lodge for the incredible theming - you're totally immersed in it. All of the MK resorts are spectacular in their own right, though. 8)

For me, it's Wilderness Lodge in a landslide. Although I'll take any of them compared to an off-property resort.

I don't know why exactly, I've just always wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian (I think it might have been that Full House episode that got me started though). But I'd never say no to the Contemporary or Poly. I'd actually love to stay at a monorail resort.
