I always recommend Disney's Polynesian Resort. It opened the day the day the Magic Kingdom Park opened, along with Disney's Contemporary Resort. Something I learned recently is that it has the highest return rate of any of the Disney Resorts, so that means many other love it and agree it's the best. Since we've stayed at the Polynesian Resort, we've had no desire to stay at any of the others. I just know they won't compare. The Resort itself is absolutely gorgeous. There's tropical plants and flowers all over, as well as ponds, waterfalls, and fountains. The lobby has a miniature rainforest in the middle, it's really cool. There's three shops in the Resort's lobby- Boutiki, Trader Jack's, and Samoa Snacks. There's also three restaurants at the Resort- Captain Cook's, 'Ohana, and the Kona Cafe. There's also the Tambu Lounge for drinks and appetizers. Captain Cook's is just a typical quick-service Disney restaurant. You can buy burgers, individual pizzas, chicken tenders, etc. In the morning there's breakfast items, and there's also dessert items. It's open 24 hours. 'Ohana is great and quite popular. They serve breakfast and dinner family-style, and it's all-you-care-to-eat. The Kona Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, regular table service style. It's a beautiful open restaurant on the second floor of the lobby. There's really cool, decorative light fixtures and fans. There's a great dessert bar, too, with a chocolate statue of Lilo & Stitch. The food at this restaurant is so good, we always eat here at least twice on our vacations. The restaurant is famous for its Tonga Toast. It's like French toast stuffed with bananas, tossed in cinnamon sugar. It's awesome! I don't even like bananas, and I liked it. At lunch or dinner, for an appetizer, I always have to have the pan-seared duck pot stickers. They are so delicious! So good, sometimes I order them from Room Service, too. Oh, and then there's the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show (the Polynesian Luau.) An all-you-care-to-eat-meal hosted by Aunt Wini at Luau Cove. Anyway... there's also an art gallery in the lobby, Wyland Galleries. For kids, there's the Neverland Club (CLUB, not Ranch.) The laundry facilities have been remodeled recently. There's plenty of washers and dryers, and a little sitting room with a TV and vending machine. There's a marina with boat rentals, and you can go on guided fishing excursions. There's two awesome pools- the volcano pool with a zero-depth entry, a waterslide, and restrooms right in the volcano, and then there's the "quiet" pool. It's not always quiet, but it's nice. I find it to be a little warmer than the volcano pool. It's big and circular. There's also a couple of beaches with hammocks. They're really nice, and great locations to watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom and the Electrical Water Pageant on the Seven Seas Lagoon. There's no health club/spa, but all Polynesian Guests have access to Disney's Grand Floridian Spa, which is only a short walk away. One of the best things about the Polynesian Resort is the transportation options. You can take a shuttle busto any of the parks and Downtown Disney, or take a boat to the Magic Kingdom. You can also take the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom, the Grand Floridian Resort, and the Contemporary Resort. The Monorail comes right to the second floor of the lobby. There's a walkway to the Transportation and Ticket Center where you can get on the Monorail to Epcot, and there's another walkway to the Grand Floridian Resort. Another great thing about the Polynesian is that all the rooms are being renovated (most of them are already done.) They're beautiful, and there's mini fridges and flat-screen plasma TVs, now. I love the bathrooms, they're so pretty! This Resort is great for couples, families, or even people staying solo. Everyone enjoys it. If you were to choose this Resort, here are suggestions for specific room requests- room number 1516 in the Hawaii Concierge Longhouse and room number 1221 in the Aotearoa Longhouse. Both have views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Cinderella Castle, but the view from 1516 also includes Space Mountain and the two nearby Resorts. It's really gorgeous and well-worth the money. I also love the staff at this Resort. One morning we woke up and there was a couple cigarette butts on our patio from the people in the room above us. I just threw them away thinking it wouldn't happen again. The next morning there were 12 cigarette butts! I went down to the Concierge desk and told them about it. For the rest of our vacation no one was in the room above us.
As you can tell, I love Disney's Polynesian Resort! I love Walt Disney World! All of the Resorts on property are great, especially the Deluxe Resorts. I always go to the other Resorts to have food at the restaurants or check out the shops. I know what all the rooms look like and everything each one has to offer, and I think the Polynesian is the best. If you can't spend as much I'd recommend Disney's Boardwalk Inn, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, or one of the Port Orleans Resorts, French Quarter or Riverside (I stayed at Port Orleans Riverside when it was called "Dixie Landings.")
Compare the fact sheets and pros and cons on this website- http://www.allearsnet.com There's also reviews of each of the Resorts.

Every resort at Walt Disney World is fantastic.
As to say which is the best, that is a personal choice, that depends on preferences, budget, plans, etc.
When we go, we always stay at one of the value resorts (Pop Century is my favorite of these). The value resorts have the least expensive rooms, (you can camp out at Fort Wilderness for a bit less money).
We choose the value resorts for the price. The rooms are small for some people, but all we do is basically sleep and shower there, so we choose to spend our money elsewhere. We always go "visit" some of the other resorts. We have eaten at some of the restaurants at the Polynesian & Contemporary, and we "explored" the Grand Floridian on our last stay in September. We took photos in the lobby and on the beach.
These resorts are gorgeous, and well worth the money, but for us, we would rather sleep in a "cheap" bed, and go "play" at the pricey places for free!!
Whatever you choose, you can have a blast.

So..
All boat plans are not created equal. Sure, there are a lot of boat plans floating around out there on the Internet, but not all of them will be worth your while to use. You see, in order for a boat plan to be able help you make the right boat for you, it must fit certain criteria. This is especially important if you are a beginner! Even if you are full of passion and enthusiasm for trying your hand at building your own boat, complicated instructions can thwart you.
A very good online site you should visit is http://boatplans.toptips.org
It's a collection of 518 boat plans, 45 videos on boat building and hundreds of pages of illustrated guides on boat building. It provides a comprehensive package that contains all the plans and directions that will help you build any type of boat you would like to build.
Cheers.
