Going to just resort, no parks

Animal Kingdom Lodge. Just so much extra activities to do there. Mingle with the animals with Night Vision. Learn about all of the art that is there. Just all sorts of fun things to do.

I vote 100% for Animal Kingdom Lodge. Great rooms, beautiful pool, fantastic food, animals to view, afternoon wine tasting and kitchen tours, activities in the lobby, largest collection of African Art outside of Africa, Hidden Mickey hunting, 4 Restaurants (Jiko and Sanaa are award winning), 3 bars, nice gift shop, award winning massage center, not far from DTD.

And then there's this... you don't have to look at the parks that you're not going too! I would hate to be at one of the hotels connected to a park and lament the entire time that I didn't get to go.

These are great points. I think an argument could be made for Saratoga Springs or Port Orleans as well, especially PO. While they don't have a ton of eating options, you could always go to some of the other fantastic restaurants on property. But the theming is so immersive at PO that it really would just be a lovely place to stay. As for Saratoga Springs, it's beautiful, it has the new pool, and it's adjacent to Downtown Disney, so you could certainly spend time there, looking into the all the corners, eating snacks, and shopping til you drop.

The cabins at fort wilderness campground. There is so much to do there! Hiking, biking, the pools, segway wilderness tour, hoop de doo revue, mickey's backyard bbq, boating, tennis, fishing, waterskiing, parasailing, chip and dale sing along marshmallow roast and movie, petting zoo, horseback riding, visiting the stables, wagon rides, carriage rides.

Everything Kristen said!

lol

Thank ya... but actually changed it to my actual pug this time... lol

Nice!

WHAT a great idea!

My first instinct would be to stay at a MK monorail resort--but that might depress me to SEE MK but not be able to go in.

I would have to agree with AKL. It's my favorite resort with lots to do and if I was giving up the parks I'd better be somewhere awesome & within walking distance to Zebra Domes.

Before I read what Mase & Kristen said I was going to say Beach Club. Storm Along Bay pool, Beaches & Cream, Cape May Cafe, Yachtsman, the Boardwalk and all the great restaurants, surrey rentals, easy walk to Mini-golf, movies on the beach. But EPCOT is soooo cloooooooseee! And so is HS!!! Temptation!!!!

I think AKL might win me over now!

Idk man... you made some very strong points there....

AKL of course, but WL would be fun too. Lodge tour, hidden mickey tour, flag raising ceremony. Great pool, rent water sprites right there. Bike over to the fort.

I can totally see Wilderness Lodge, especially if you add in Fort Wilderness food & activities. You get the Electric water parade there too, or can take a boat over to watch the fireworks.

Well you all know I just have to mention the Poly here. The grounds are so beautiful you will not miss the park. Then add to that, you would have the monorail so now you have tons of places to eat and shop. You still could watch both the Electric Water Parade and the fireworks from the beach. They also have the movies each night on the beach. You can rent both boats and bikes. Oh yes, I could be happy there even without the parks.
