First off this thread is not a criticism of anyone, their tastes, preferences or opinions . But I have to finally get this out !
On many threads when talking about lodging choices (DL and WDW) people express wanting to stay at DLH or POP century because they are the only ones that are "Disney" and when they travel to Disney....they want Disney!
This has always perplexed me........any amusement park can have a cadre of lovable characters, but what Makes Disney special is that it is a "Theme" park. It's expertise is making you feel transported to another time and place. So, the Wilderness lodge, Polynesian or Grand CA are a pinnacle of Disney expertise....fully realized themed experiences.
So what is "disney" to you....the fab 5 decorating scheme, or a themed experience ?
As you can guess I am a "theme" girl , relaying on a character centric scheme, almost feels like a creative "cop out" to me.
