If I were considering a resort vacation only (not the rest of WDW), I would say the Grand Floridian. Beach Club maybe a close second, because of the pool. But for a no-holds-barred, cost-no-object, all inclusive WDW trip, I would choose the Contemporary Tower MK view! (with ADRs at California Grill). Of course I can't actually afford it, but I can dream! :cloud9:


1971 (age 15) MK was new!
1974 off-site (Senior Trip)
1982 off-site
1988 off-site
May 2002 AS-Sports, with DW & kids
May 2004 Pop Century
Feb 2005 Wilderness Lodge
Oct 2006 Pop Century
Oct 2008 Camped at Fort Wilderness
Feb 2010 Cruise on the Wonder
Dec 2014 POFQ for Christmas!

Does that room in the castle count? If so, That would be it. If not, I'm thinking Presidential suite at Wilderness Lodge

Yeah, that (the Castle) would be definitely be the one. I forgot about that option. Well, it's not really an option, but we're just dreaming aren't we?

I'm with Linda; Grand Floridian, main building concierge level would be my choice. I've stayed Sugarloaf concierge and loved it. That is the one club level where Disney has come close to giving a true concierge experience.

Looks like the Poly is winning! Of course who wouldn't pick the castle suite over anything else lol but I think I'm going to try the Poly next.

I would love to be able to go back to The Contemporary Resort - the last time we were able to afford it, Bay Lake Tower wasn't even a thought. I love everything about the place, especially the walkway to the MK! :mickey:

Ditto - and the most expensive and expansive room. I'm thinking some sort of large 3- bedroom Presidential Suite, or something along those lines. MK view, no doubt.

Being able to sit on your balcony at night and watch the MK activity - it doesn't get much better than that.


First Trip ¨¨*:•
Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground - June, 1974

Last Trip ¨¨*:•
Port Orleans/Saratoga Springs - March, 2017

Next Trip ¨¨*:•
Bay Lake Tower - March, 2018

And about 40 more in between....

I'm just not a deluxe girl. Port Orleans Riverside in the mansions would have to be my choice.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

My dream would be the main building of Grand Floridian. Are there suites in there that face MK? If so, that.
