    What about if money was an object, and you wanted a mid-price range hotel?

    But because we are a mid-price range type of family, we almost always stay at the POFQ. It's relatively small, well-themed, and lots of fun.

    I think the POFQ looks really nice.
    On the Disney World Website, it shows people sitting on their balcony at the Animal Kingdom Lodge looking at girraffes. Is this really possible?

    Awesome.

    I would pick the Grand Floridian with a view room, one of the turret rooms. Then, the Poly view room. Although I loved AKL very much. I loved being close to the lobby. WL is awesome too, okay, now it is like picking between children (I don't have kids, what does this mean?)

    Moderate would be CBR.

    I think I'll see about saving up for an '09 trip at POR.
