Time for SpaceAce's Annual Pick-A-Resort Thread

OK guys, what's it gonna be this year? We loved the location of the Poly two years ago, but don't like the possibility of getting a non-balcony room. We loved the style and ease of the Beach Club during the Food and Wine Festival last year.

So! DW and I have narrowed it down to two different split trips: Pop Century/Yacht Club and Coronado Springs/Wilderness Lodge.

What would you choose?

I'd go Pop/Yacht. Only because I have a fear of being at Coronado and seeing a bunch of suits or biz casual crackberryheads and that might ruin my magical experience.

Mind you, I've never stayed there, and I think the theming is really cool, but I worry about the convention nature of it. So I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually stayed there on whether my fear is at all grounded.

I'd do pop/yacht. I love that pop has it's own dedicated buy system and yacht's pool area always interested me.

I haven't done coronado, but did do Wildnerness. Loved it, but hated it's bus route. It took forever to get anywhere if you weren't using the boat launch.

I've got to say we often find that Coronado Springs is the best option as far as niceness for money. I've seen some of the renovated rooms and they look fantastic.

Pop/Yacht. Because we all know I'm a sucker for Epcot convenience, even though I'd love to stay in both of the others.

Pop/Yacht because A. it sounds cool and B. I have an irrational fear of Coranado Springs and feeling like I need to don a business suit and mingle. Granted I have never actually BEEN there.

Never in my life did I think I'd be the renegade, going against the prevailing AKL-love grain. Especially for my love of things Victorian (in GF's case.)

I've never stayed at any of them but I think I would go with Coronado/Wilderness just because anytime we've stopped at Pop Century it just doesn't look very nice from the outside

"biz casual crackberryheads." Now, I'm guessing you mean that as lovingly as possible? laugh muchlove
