Honorable Mentions: Grand Floridian and Yacht/Beach Club. For the record, I have stayed at Yacht/Beach, Boardwalk, and the Swan/Dolphin.

A sentimental favorite too; my first and most relaxing stay at a Disney hotel (previous two visits were at the Hilton by the then Village Marketplace.) I have also bedded down at the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Caribbean Beach, Disney Intitute Townhomes, and the All Star Music. My next choice would be the Animal Kingdom Lodge, for the theming, the rooms with a view, and the restaurants.

Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire First, Contemporary, for the fact that the monorail stops inside the hotel. I think that is the coolest thing. A close second is Wilderness Lodge, for the theming & layout.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad HANDS FRIKKIN DOWN Old Key West!!! Its so very quiet, its gated, you can park very very close to your room, (I have 5 kids and usually take atleast one other family with us) and best of all the room size is enormous. I have to mention that there is a washer and dryer which no one wants to do laundry on vacation, but throwing in a load in the morning and a load at night keeps my crew in fresh clothes without bringing home thirty loads that are dirty. Second to this is Boardwalk, which we use when I bring someone who has never been, as I feel its more impressive. Third are the Contemporary concierge tower rooms facing the MK, because I am very nostalgic and I sit outside at night and think of all the people before me who have enjoyed such a classsic and wonderful view of the MK. I only stay there if I take the grandparents, and we plant the grandparents in other rooms with our kids, except my 2 year old who sleeps with me every night. He's my pet.
