What is your favorite Monorail resort at WDW? - Page 2

My pick is the Poly just because that's the only one I've ever stayed at !! DH would love to stay at the Contemporary though, but only if it's a Tower room!!

I do love all three, but the Poly is just perfect!

Gee's Thanks! You must have no problem telling kids there is no santa.

"Money is no object" means the GF, hands down.

But the Contemporary gets my vote for purely sentimental reasons. You never forget your first....

The Poly is lovely but just too much like vacationing at home, and that's not as much fun as a change in scene.

I am going with the Polynesian here. I love the theme...tropical heaven is relaxing to me. The contemporary is to sterile in overall design and to crowded and loud in the A frame to me. The Grand Floridian is gorgeous and I would love to stay there just once, but I just think it's to fancy for me....I am afraid to touch anything in there and would feel like I was at DBF's mom's house where you have to check your shoes for dirt and stuff

What? No way!! Just tellin' it like it is my friend! Grandma's bedroom, it even smells like "White Shoulders" or whatever that perfume is. No thank you.

smee57 · 11-06-2007

Haven't had the pleasure of staying at any of them. Based on our "resort hopping" at Christmas last year . . .

DS would choose Contemporary. Nothin' like a monorail going right through your hotel! That really impressed him.

I would choose GF if it was just DH and I. It is so beautiful, but seemed more adult than kid-friendly.

DH would pick the Polynesian. We had a real Polynesian honeymoon and he said he'd like to stay there because of that. Okay, I'll stay there with him.

You are right I wouldnt my house decorated that way. I am tossed between the poly it is a more relaxed setting.

keljen · 11-07-2007

I haven't stayed at any yet but will be at the Poly very soon so I had to go with that. I would have picked it anyway as I love the looks of it

**MissDisney** · 11-07-2007

Whenever we go to WDW, I always try to book Ohana, so I have a good reason to belong at that beautiful resort for a couple of hours... I am always so jealous of the people who are playing in the pool, walking to their rooms, you know -- the people who are actual guests!

Someday that will be me!!!

mwalter · 11-07-2007

Poly hands down. Besides the theming, it has the best variety of transportation options, PLUS, the TTC is right next door.

TikiBird · 11-07-2007

I love the Poly, for the decor, food and view. I have never stayed at any of the resorts on the monorail, but I would love to stay at all three. Maybe if money is no object, aweek at each???

Monique · 11-07-2007

Most definitely Grand Floridian!!

Tinkerbelle67 · 11-11-2007

GF, no debating this one. We honeymooned there and it was amazing, had the pleasure of being upgraded to concierge level. I would bring my kids back there in a heartbeat.
