Port Orleans French Quarter Resort - Just can't warm up to the color scheme, especially when its superior sister hotel is 'just around the river bend'
All-Star Sports Resort - I just stayed there and found it much more enjoyable than I had expected, but it's probably about time for a Value hotel to go, and this is the weakest of them

Even though Pop Century looks pretty cool, two value resorts can't hang with the cream of the crop for much longer, and ASM is my favorite (not to mention the most Disney-esque).

This round's been up for a day, but it closes now, with All-Star Movies leaving in a somewhat close round.

Old Key West - Whether or not it's the least bang for your buck is debatable and largely dependant on personal taste, based on the little I know about this hotel. Still, it must be the lowest-priced Deluxe/Home-Away-From-Home resort for a reason, and it's up against some true class acts.

Polynesian Resort - Once the current renovations are done, this hotel is going to be awesome, but as it stands now, it's very dated and the least attractive of the lagoon hotels.

We're down to only deluxe hotels now. All of them are very nice, but I feel that by far the weakest is the Polynesian. I know it's one of the two originals, but that also means it's the most dated. The current refurbishments are going to give it a big turn around, and then maybe I'll finally stay there, but until then, it's got to go.

Delete or ignore this post, if you'd like, but I just wanted to say that after reading this thread, I told my mom that I want to go to Disneyworld for Labor Day Weekend. So she made reservations for 3 nights at Animal Kingdom lodge! Basically, all I wanted to say was thanks! And that you also made Disneyworld $1,000 richer!
