    My favourites: Wilderness Lodge for themeing and it's away-from-it-all, yet center of the World location, and the Polynesian and Boardwalk for their can't beat locations (and the Poly's early WDW nostalgic feel).

    Though I have not yet stayed,I have probably spent more time at the Poly than anywhere else. I LOVE Ohana's and just hanging out there. Like tonyanton, I believe it's the "early WDW nostalgic feel" that does it for me. Maybe next time.

    Yacht Club
    We tried to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, but were denied access don't even get me started about that :-(

    My favorites: Yacht Club, Poly (with small kids), and POR - Mansions

    Least favorite: AKL. I'm very very bitter about the way we were treated.

    I've stayed off-site, but only the cheapies for a late night arrival in Orlando. I did stay at a Ramada with my son's chorus and had huge black bugs in my bed.

    My favorites are probably the Poly and WL, but I loved driving around the Village Resorts on the golf carts as a kid.

    We've stayed at some of these mult times, off site many times and the Hotel Royal Plaza and Hilton on Hotel Blvd. The last resort we stayed at was the Poly and it was very nice. The rooms were huge which was good since there was 5 adults. Our fav is the WL followed by POFQ but we also really enjoyed the PC.

    I loved them both for different reasons. WE also dined at:

    The Grand Floridian
    Polynesian
    Contemporary
    Wilderness Lodge
    Yacht Club
    Boardwalk
    Dolphin

    I am a huge fan of Peter Dominick (architect for WL, AKL and Grand Californian). So for me, I want to stay at WL and AKL next time.

    The least exciting to me are the All Star Sports, Caribbean Beach and the Grand Floridian. If I want a GF experience, I'd much rather go to the Del Cornado in San Diego.

    Boardwalk would be my favorite (location, location, location.)

    All other visits I have stayed off-property. Just a budget thing. I'd love to stay at the Polynesian or others.

    Wilderness Lodge is the favorite. The place totally relaxes you after a hectic day at the parks.
