A far away second and third were Myrtle Beach, SC, and Destin, FL respectively. Some other categories of interest were: Shopping- Atlanta, GA Charleston, SC Getaway Resort The Grove Park Inn - Ashville, NC Small Southern Town Beaufort, SC Country Bed and Breakfast Blackberry Farm - Wallabd, TN Best Family Restaurant Wade's Family Restaurant - Spartanburg, SC Fine Dining Commander's Palace - New Orleans, LA Family Beach Scene Destin, FL Best Southern City Experience Charleston, SC Best Barbecue Rendezvous - Memphis, TN Best Botanical Experience Callaway Gardens - PineMountain, GA So if you find yourself in the South, these are some neat places to visit. With the exception of WDW, you can find excellent examples of each category in Savannah, GA. Personally I found the categories odd, but it was interesting to read about these, some of which I have visited. My personal favorite being Destin, FL...well not counting Walt Disney World of course.
