My significant other and i made the decision last trip that we won't be staying at Value resorts anymore. POP wasn't bad we just enjoy a bit of the finer things...in a we are in our mid-late 20's way. not a '20 year career as a CEO' way so keep that in mind lol
together me and him have stayed at coronado and caribbean beach and now Pop.
this is only his 3rd time going to Disney (all with me...i ruined him) and i have gone every year or so since i was 6 months old. so while i have stayed at a LOAD of Disney resorts i haven't ya know, personally had to pay for them all..or even remember them all.
this past trip we had a meal at grand floridian, yacht club, contemporary, wilderness lodge and walked around the polynesian and it got us thinking that we will definitely save up for a nicer resort for our next trip but which one first?!?
we compiled a list of resorts:
-Port Orleans (i have talked about it before and he likes the idea, yes it is a moderate but the one he hasn't tried)
-Contemporary
-Poly
-Wilderness Lodge
-Animal Kingdom
-Potentially Grand Floridian
We did leave out most of the EP resort area because we want more of a unique experience...one that you could only get at Disney World. Yacht Club was beautiful but for the purposes of the list we couldn't have every single resort as must do's.....
With that being said, with pricing aside for the moment (mainly because pricing isn't available for when we are looking) what is your first recommendation in terms of resorts?
save the best for last?
What is your favorite?
Was any on the list kind of disappointing? not entirely worth the money?
If you DON'T pay for a Tower room at contemporary is it kind of pointless?
What about a normal room at AKL instead of a Savannah?
we also threw around the brief concept of doing a split stay to potentially save money. but we mainly just don't know where to start or if all on the list are must do experiences.
again pricing aside for the moment. we know they are expensive and that is why we are looking for opinions. having convenient transportation is cool, but not the top reason why we liked the monorail resorts. it's more about the atmosphere, room quality, experience, restaurants, etc.
