    I have only stayed at one value resort (ASMo) and it was not our thing at all. We disliked it so much that we joined DVC (we're a family of 6 who needed 2 regular rooms to stay in, so DVC made more financial sense to us over the long run).

    I've stayed at Port Orleans and thought it was okay (that was before I'd stayed in a deluxe). I spent my honeymoon at the GF and was spoiled from then on. Once we had children we stayed in deluxes only because my husband likes them better. We did the Contemporary tower and the Wilderness Lodge (more than once - we loved it!) I'd love to stay at the Poly one day, but since we're DVC members we probably won't unless they build a DVC property there.

    Of the DVC resorts I've stayed at all but VWL, OKW and the Treehouses. I'd like to stay at VWL and OKW, but I'm really not at all interested in the Treehouses. They just don't look like my cup of tea. At the top of my list is the new GF DVC property, whenever it opens and has availability for a non-owner!

    As you can tell from my signature we are almost there! Here are my lists:

    Stayed multiple times at: The Polynesian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, WDW Dolphin, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans Riverside (Dixie landings), Pop Century, All Star Sports, All Star Music.

    Stayed once at: Grand Floridian, Beach Club, Boardwalk, WDW Swan, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans French Qrt, Disney's Vero Beach.

    Never stayed at: Yacht Club, Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, All Star Movies, Art of Animation, and Bay Lake Towers.

    Would love to stay at Yacht and Bay Lake Towers so that is my bucket list. The others just don't really appeal to us. Maybe we could stay one night just to say we did.

    Of all these resorts my favorites are 1) The Polynesian 2) WDW Dolphin 3) Contemporary 4) AKL 5) Beach Club

    Least Favorites: Boardwalk, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans Riverside.
    My first home is in Coastal Georgia, 30 feet from the saltwater marsh, and 3.5 hours from WDW!My second home is the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort!CR,Poly,GF,BC,BW,WL,AKL,Dolphin,Swan,DL,CSR,POFQ,C BR,POP,AS,Vero.

    Values: Stayed at all except AofA - Fave is All Star Sports
    Mods: Stayed at all - Fave is POFQ
    Deluxe: All except GF and YC - Fave is BWI
    DVC: Only BWV and OKW

    I guess the Grand Floridian and the Yacht Club, and now the Art of Animation Resort, are still on my Bucket List. (We want to hit them all at some point).

    My favourite resort so far is the BoardWalk -- Inn or Villas I love them both! My least favourite is the Wilderness Lodge.
