Is there a resort you hate?

[Nascfan]

I hate all of them because I am not AT any of them at this time

Ha! I'll second that!

But for me, nope, none that I hate. I'd stay at any of them anytime if I could afford it.

I'm going with lockedout on the AKL/WL thing too. When we were there in Dec 05, the only time I've been in either of those two, I found WL to be darker and almost dreary, while I found AKL to have a light and airy feel. Different strokes I guess.

My least favorite resort was the POP. From the theming to the construction I just did not like this place. My 2nd least favorite was CBR. But I think that mostly had to do with the fact that we were so far from everything and the year before we had spent our honeymoon at the WL

But I have now found my favorite at the POFQ.

I don't like the Swan and Dolphin. I think they look weird and really stand out from the rest of the disney area hotels in a bad way. The rooms inside were nice though.

I agree, I don't think they fit.

Coronado Springs!

I didn't hate it, but the Dolphin didn't really impress me. I would stay there again though if it meant being able to stay on property! Which, come to think of it, is why we stayed there in the first place. Every other room on property was booked.

CBR!

Terrible housekeeping (rehung dirty towels that were on the floor) and insanely long waits for buses (30 min - 1 hr every time).

Saratoga Springs is our choice for worst resort. We have stayed at all the DVC resorts and most deluxe resorts and Saratoga has no charm or "magic" in our opinion. My wife and I joke that the only people that buy into Saratoga have obviously never stayed at another DVC resort!

I can't say I hate any of the resorts. Leaving out the occasional poorly trained CM and bad mousekeeping, there is a few places I might have to think twice about.
I will be at Movies in Sept. I stay at the Values for the $. I spend very little time in the room, don't use the pools, and have had very few bus issues (I have had trips with bad bus days though, can ruin things for you). I have found, however, that when there is an issue, you are sometimes treated with a "you get what you pay for" attitude. I think most of the rooms have been refurbed now. If not, ask for one, makes a huge difference.
I liked CB. Just try to not be in a spot that you have to deal too much with the internal transportation. Plus the view of SE is cool.
PO/DL- A decided change (not for the better) since the resorts combined.
CS. Tried to stay there twice, couldn't get our ressie straight.
WL and AKL. Love them both. WL is perfect Disney, and I enjoy the cool darkness of AKL after a hot day.
Poly, ground level, beach, hammock. What more can I say. I would't pay the prices now though.
Contemporary. Besides the convenience, I wouldn't pay the prices now though there either.
SS. Stayed there when it was the DI. Nice and close to DD. However, the bus routes to there seem to take forever, and the room (bungalow) was poorly soundproofed. I can see why this is one of the less desirable DVC spots. I do like the Turf Club though.
FW Cabin. The cabins are cool. One year they overbooked and we got a home instead. it was in the first loop, which was nice, but just not the same.
Just my opinions.

No hate here, but I did stay in a hotel offsite one night before going onsite. DW met up with a cockroach so big that I almost handed it my wallet and was about to call 911 for help.

Not a cicada? I did have a salad issue at one of the finer resorts. We had just been through a cycle of them here in IL., so I knew what it was. I guess they are mistaken for large roaches, or palmetto bugs though, a lot.
Not to say you are not right though1

Our first trip, we did not do a split stay, but our next 4 including this one, is a split stay.

This way we do not get bored with a resort.

I think this helps us get out of the love/hate relationship with resorts.

One year we even stayed at 3 in one trip. That was too much.

Pros/Cons of ones we stayed or visited

Poly - Location excellent/none
Contemporary - Location excellent/none
Grand Floridian - Location excellent/none
Wilderness Lodge - Theming/Location is remote, wish was on the monorail somehow
CBR - Good food courtand pool/buses at times
POFQ - Best Mod since can use POR pool and acces to DTN Disney/Need better pool slide and buses
AKL - Theming excellent/Just remote - would not stay a week, but 2-3 days is perfect; buses as well
Beach Club - here we come in 20 days
