Originally Posted By RoadTrip I would choose the Poly. I've dined at Ohana, the Kona Cafe and the Dinner Show many times. I love the theming and would really like to stay there. Unfortunately, the DVC points required for a stay at the Poly are rather outrageous. If we ever stay there we will probably use cash rather than points.
Originally Posted By Mr X Wow, what a tough one... Well, I'll mention the ones I would NOT chose first, just for the fun of it...

Ugh...getting tough. Grand Floridian is always a draw for me, it's just so elegant! But no. Wouldn't do it (on a "one shot" deal, I mean...sure I'll stay there someday if I have the chance!). Contemporary and Poly are also huge draws for me, though I visited my fam staying at the Contemporary over a week (I was living in Kissimmee at the time) so I kinda got my vicarious "Contemporary" fix at the time too (including hangin by the pool and enjoying the Contemporary vibe for a week, even though I didn't actually "stay" there). The Poly is my definite second choice. BUT, even though I've never even SEEN the place (haven't been back to Florida since 2000!), I would choose the one everyone's been talking about...the AKL, with a view of animals as a MUST (otherwise, I'd go with the Poly!). It just sounds so freakin awsome, I'm not sure if I'd ever leave my ROOM if you can really step out onto your balcony and see giraffes and other cool animals! Anyone have any hotel balcony footage!? I'd love to check it out (I can "picture" it...but it sounds too cool to believe!).

Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic Mickey4Pres, I hear what you are saying about GF being too girlie. My son agrees but just as long as he is in Disney I don't think he minds it too much. He hasn't said anything yet. He is only 10. I am sure he will soon. We are going to stay at the Yacht Club next. We are all excited about that resort. Hope you and your family enjoy your visit to the Wilderness Lodge.

A fantastic vacation (it was for one of the Disneyana conventions), and putting us there for the same number of points as any other room was "magical"!

Funny thing is the Poly is always been his fav to try so I guess we'll be trying it in '09'. Long story just to say the Poly.
