Favorite Resort

HI, New here. We have stayed at several of the resorts and actually had a business at Fort Wilderness Campground. That happens to be my favorite because you are near the Magic Kingdom yet the feel is a lot slower and the hustle and bustle of Disney parks is not there. You do have many things to do though. You can’t beat the decorations everyone brings for the holidays too. The campers go all out for them. Boy I miss it there.

I’ve never stayed at Fort Wilderness Campground. I’d love to stay in a cabin there one day!

Is an absolute joy to walk to & from World Showcase via International Gateway from the Beach Club.
Especially choice for F&W Fest. :mickey:

We love the Contemporary (that walk from there to the Magic Kingdom is wonderful), Beach Club (love the walk to Epcot), and Grand Floridian. We’ve stayed at the Poly but didn’t especially like our room. I hear that it has been redone since then so I’d like to try it again. (If you can’t tell, we love being on the monorail line. It is so convenient!

I have stayed at Coronado twice and we really enjoyed it. Once was a girls trip with my friends, and once with my family. We loved the Mexican offerings at the food court, the tacos were actually really tasty! We haven’t had to use the bus transportation since we drive, maybe @starbee or @nascfan can speak to that, since I know they have both stayed at Coronado. The pool was a lot of fun, but it was hit or miss for us in terms of how crowded it was. One day we went and it was practically dead, the next day it was so slammed we ended up at one of the quiet pools. Some people complain about the convention crowd, but they’ve never bothered me. I don’t feel like seeing people in suits takes me out of the “Disney bubble” or anything like that. The only time we even noticed the convention crowd was when I was on my girls trip, we tried to get a late night drink at Rix and it was slammed!

One thing we love about Coronado is how central the location is! You are pretty much 10 minutes from every park, it’s awesome!

We stayed at Coronado a few years ago. The reason I enjoy this resort is that they offer a business class room. It’s cheaper than your usual concierge level room and you get all the benefits of the food. The difference is that the club lounge is not right down the hallway. Instead, you have to leave your building and walk to it. It’s not terrible. I like the pool!

We’ve only stayed at CSR once and I’m sorry I don’t remember which location our room was in. I do remember that it wasn’t close to the front desk and since it was our wedding & honeymoon, a kind CM loaded our stuff on a golf cart and drove us to our room. Once we left the resort, the buses made it everywhere else pretty quickly, I would say in about 10 minutes. Only downside to our particular room was that it would take 15-20 minutes driving around the resort before we left, or made it back to our section of the resort when returning from the parks. At the bus stop itself though we never had to wait long for a bus, whereas I’ve had much longer waits at other resorts. That is the only criticism I have! We loved the resort, it’s gorgeous! Our room was comfortable and had nice features like being able to close the bathroom area off from the bedroom.
