So excluding the restaurants what are your favorite resorts to go visit just for fun? We like to go relax in the Iron Spike Room at the Wilderness Lodge and of course the AKL has TONS to do. Where else is fun?

Best Resort to Visit When You're Not Staying There

I love hanging out in the hammocks at the Poly!! I also like to rent boats there, because it's pretty central to Seven Seas Lagoon and you can travel over the water bridge into Bay Lake.

The Beach Club resort is very well decorated at Christmas but is also a good place to just hang out and relax. They have some benches right out the back entrance in a small little courtyard that are excellent for people watching. The beach there is also nice. You can sit and watch the boats or the action on the boardwalk across the lake. Just a very relaxing atmosphere.

I like to sit out at the Boardwalk and people-watch. Someday I'm going to pay enough to get one of those boardwalk-view rooms

AKL has a TON of activities as does WL I think they're trying to make those places into "destinations" of a sort...

The Iron Spike Room is really great. It just gets too noisy. We figure there should be another way for the housekeeping carts to get around rather than right through the middle of the lobby on hardwood floors.
AKL by the indoor firepit and Victoria Falls during the day when it's empty are also nice places to hang out.
The tall chairs at the Polynesian are comfy for lounging and the combination of music and soft sofas at the Grand Floridian are so-o relaxing.

Polynesian and Grand Floridian always seem to have the busiest lobbies. If you like to people watch that's a plus. Is there even anyplace to do so in the Contemporary?

We had a room right above the Boardwalk Bakery in 2004. It was wonderful. We would just sit on the balcony and watch people and performers at night. No matter how many times we go back to WDW we always talk about that is "our" room.
Here's a picture of where our room was (the balcony over the "Board" part)

Wow, that would be incredible. I really wish there was some way to reliably get the same room repeatedly. I know it would be a hassle for Disney, but they manage so many other things so well. Even if I had to pay a little extra to request a specific room number, I might be game.
Did you find you did less "stuff" on that vacation due to your room being an attraction of its own?

I'm sure there's "some way" to get it. Just not within my budget.
