Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

Do you keep going back to your favorite resort or try different ones.

We try to go to different resorts each time to cover them all. But we have our favorites.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

Sort of a little of both. If we are staying at a moderate, I prefer to go back to my fav. POR. If it's a deluxe...I like to try the different resorts.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

I've tried new resorts for 3 trips and once I was REALLY impressed but it's out of our budget to go back (WL) and the other (Dixie Landings, gave it 2 chances) I was not AS impressed with as the one we normally go to (CBR).

We didnt care for CBR I blame it on they put us in trinidad south. Need I say more. We like to walk but that was a little much. We tryed animal kingdom and loved it. It was a treat because we cant see spending that type of money when you pretty much just sleep there.

Tried new ones. I can't recall staying at the same resort twice.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

We stayed at CBR on our first trip to WDW. We're just the opposite of you TaraRae. We didn't like CBR at all and will be staying at POR for the 12th time this November. Our friends stayed at CBR last year and didn't like it either. We suggested POR for their trip next year. Hope they like it.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

I've noticed that most MBers prefer POR/FQ and I think FQ is cold and harsh. POR (was Dixie Landings when I went) had terrible customer service. I like CBR for the private pools, colorful buildings, awesome CM's, clean rooms, etc. I agree that if you get stuck at Trinidad South it doesn't make for as great of a vacay. I always request Jamaica, building #45, corner room. :)

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

So far i have only stayed there twice and each time has been a different hotel. I am going to try and stay somewhere different this next trip as well.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

We have tried a different resort with each of our stays. We LOVE Wilderness Lodge though by far... and we will stay there as often as we can in the future.

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

Most of the time I do the values . . . with it being just me and the kids . . . it's FUN, Great for the budget . . . and at 3 and 7, as long as there is a hole in the ground with water in . . . they'll have fun SWIMMING!!

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

We started out trying different resorts, but stopped when we stayed at POFQ and really liked it there. We've gone back ever since. Sadly, our Jan. trip will probably be our last stay there. DD is 2 1/2, so the next time we go back we'll be considered a party of 5 and will probably go back to Riverside (or we might just have to try a Deluxe! )

Re: Do you go back to the same resort or try others.

It's a mixture of both for me. We use to do a new resort every trip...now we find ourselves going back to our favorites.
