    Disney's Contemporary Resort.

    Biggest rooms on-site. Walking path to and from Magic Kingdom. Ease of monorail to Epcot. Upscale feel without feeling stuffy.

    Bay Lakes Tower is our favorite resort. So nice to be close to Magic Kingdom and the monorail line.

    How can I really choose?!? I'd have to go with Beach Club. That could change after my October trip to Bay Lake Tower though. I've never stayed there before.

    Grand Floridian! I love the old world charm and the elegance of it. Not to mention its proximity to the MK. The use of the monorail is super convenient as well.

    I guess I'd say Wilderness Lodge is our favorite resort. It's the first deluxe resort we stayed in, we stayed there for our first holiday trip, and we fell in love with it! We've stayed there more than any other resort, so it's safe to say it must be our fav.

    However, we also loved our stays at the Poly and Beach Club. We've only stayed at each once, and places tend to grow on me the more I frequent them, so I could see those becoming our favorite after a few stays. They are a very close second after just one stay!

    I've enjoyed each resort. If I had to choose a favorite, by the slightest amount it would be the Boardwalk. The food. The shopping. The proximity to TWO parks. The view. Nice amenities. I guess that would be my favorite.

    The Polynesian has long been my favorite resort. Unfortunately, I don't get to stay there since we became DVC owners.

    Non DVC - my favorits are: Polynesian, Wildernes Lodge and the Grand Floridian.

    DVC: (Of the ones I've stayed at so far)- Bay Lake Tower; Old Key West; Beach Club

    Fort Wilderness

    Nobody other than my family has EVER slept in the beds.

    Parking can't be beat, only 15ft from the door.

    The dogs can hang out with us.

    A complete kitchen, and the cook makes some awesome New York Strip

    Though, housekeeping is a bit lax...

    Right now, Wilderness Lodge. Love the boat to MK.

    My answer may change after my October trip to Beach Club.

    Wilderness Lodge. It will always have sentimental value because not only was it our first WDW trip, but also our honeymoon!

    I've stayed in a variety of Values, Moderates and Deluxe and I would have to say that my favorite resort is POR. While you can't beat the transportation options with Deluxe, I think that POR is such a peaceful, beautiful resort and is such a good value compared to what you pay in a Deluxe.

    That said I haven't stayed at the Polynesian yet, only walked the grounds and ate there a few times so I can't comment on there but I have a feeling that if I stayed there it would become my #1

    I'd love to stay at the Poly again, we stayed there last Oct but only for a weekend, the room was sooo beautiful and peaceful, we are trying POFQ this trip because we are staying 10 days but I would like to do the Poly again sometime!
