The Wilderness Lodge is similar to Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I love AKL. This is beginning to get very difficult, though.

And speaking of the Animal Kingdom Lodge... congratulations on your newly reserved trip, brownie! I hope you have a magical time, as I'm sure you will. I'm thrilled that this game inspired a trip... really, I am. :-D AKL is a great hotel. If you need any pointers, feel free to ask. :)

Very tough choice.

If I'm wanting to stay in the Boardwalk area, I really think my first choice would be The Beach Club. Each of the other 4 resorts are very unique, and while the Boardwalk Inn has its own distinctions, it stands out the least. It's greatest attribute is its location (along the Boardwalk), and as I said, you can get that with the Beach Club too.

I'm very torn between the Beach Club, which I think is a wonderful place, and one other hotel. But this is really quite a solid final 4.

Contemporary Resort

I know it's a classic, but it's so ... blah (the exterior, in any case).

Contemporary Resort

20 years ago it was impressively futuristic. Now it's just kind of dull.

Beach Club Resort

I didn't mind Contemporary leaving too much, as I was torn between voting for it and this one. Both are very cool, but I think AKL and GF are a cut above the rest.

I have a feeling my magic is running out here. I doubt it'll make much of a difference, but I'm voting for Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. I just find it a bit too fancy and stuffy, as beautiful as it is. There's something almost a bit imposing about it.
