I like Port Orleans Riverside it is a nice affordable hotel with lots of things to do.You don't need a real expensive hotel all you do is sleep in it.

In my opinion, Disney's Polynesian Resort is the best. Disney's Polynesian Resort has the highest return rate of all the Resorts at Walt Disney World. It was also one of the first Resorts to open with the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. The other Resort to open that day was Disney's Contemporary Resort. The lobby is gorgeous, like a tropical rainforest with luscious green plants and small waterfalls. Inside the lobby are three shops - BouTiki, Trader Jacks, and Samoa Snacks. There are also three restaurants - Captain Cook's, 'Ohana, and the Kona Cafe. My personal favorite is the Kona Cafe. Try the famous Tonga Toast and a smoothie at breakfast, and try the wok-seared duck pot stickers and the Kilauea Torte at lunch or dinner. There's also the wonderful Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show over at Luau Cove. Then there's the Tambu Lounge for drinks and appetizers. It's a nice environment for the adults. There's a very nice art gallery in the lobby as well. There's a short jogging/walking trail to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the spa is right along the trail between the two Resorts. There are two awesome pools - the Nanea Volcano Pool and the "quiet" pool. Near the volcano pool is a marina with boat rentals, bike rentals, and guided fishing excursion pick-ups. There's also a couple lovely white-sand beaches with fantastic views of the Electrical Water Pageant that takes place on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Wishes Nighttime Spectacular that takes places at the Magic Kingdom, and there are a few hammocks that are fun to lay in. One of the best parts about staying at Disney's Polynesian Resort is that it's easy to get almost anywhere else on Walt Disney World property. You can take a shuttle bus to any of the Theme Parks, Water Parks, or Downtown Disney. There's a Water Launch to the Magic Kingdom, but the Monorail will take you there, too. The Monorail will also bring you to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Contemporary Resort, and the Transportation & Ticket Center. And there's a short walkway to the Transportation & Ticket Center where you can get on the Monorail to EPCOT or the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom. Then there's the walkway to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. It's fairly simple to get anywhere on Walt Disney World property, and there's quite a few options, so if the buses are running slow you can just use the Water Launch or Monorail, or whatever. My favorite part of Disney's Polynesian Resort are the Guest Rooms. You know, you think since you're going to Walt Disney World you won't be in the room much because you'll be at the theme parks most of the time, but my favorite part of our days at WDW was relaxing out on our patio at the end of the night. The staff at this Resort is outstanding. They upgraded us to Concierge for free. We got to stay in the Concierge Longhouse and our room had the best view on property, literally. A view across the entire Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake - Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to the left, the Magic Kingdom Park, Cinderella Castle, and Space Mountain straight across, and Disney's Contemporary Resort to the right. Every night when we returned from the parks, no matter how late it was, we'd spend at least 15 minutes relaxing out on our patio. It's so amazing. We go in the summer, so the temperature in the evening is perfect. No one's out and all you can hear are the horns of the boats on the Lagoon and the howl of the dog (statue) outside of the Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom. We could even watch the fireworks and the Water Pageant right from our room and patio if we were there while they were taking place.
If you stay at Disney's Polynesian Resort try to request room 1516 in the Hawaii (Concierge) Longhouse. Room 1221 in the Aotearoa Longhouse was nice, too.
I found this really cool website dedicated to Disney's Polynesian Resort. There's a lot of information and excellent pictures of all the rooms and suites. Here's the link if you're interested at all...

Of the resorts in the highest price category, I recommend Animal Kingdom Lodge -- it's gorgeous, and the pool is wonderful for adults and families alike.
Another popular choice is the Wilderness Lodge. I've seen many, many wedding proposals there because of the romance factor.
If you want a resort in a more moderate price range, then I recommend the Port Orleans. It's smaller than the other moderate and value resorts, so you don't have the crowded feeling. Also, you can catch a boat to Downtown Disney.

If you want to stay on Disney property, the Disney Boardwalk villas or Boardwalk Inn are very nice. I used to love Coronado Springs but it's getting a little old. These are my favorite Disney Hotels. Disney's hotel in Celebration (the Disney created town in Orlando) is pretty upscale too. Universal has the better hotels in Orlando though (The Loews Royal Pacific and the Loews Portofino Bay are top of the line and I enjoyed my stay at both--much more lavish than the Disney hotels)

I absolutely love the Yacht and Beach Club. The pool is just amazing. The sand on the bottom makes you feel like you are in the ocean and they have a great water slide. The proximity to Epcot and MGM is what i like the most. It is a quick 5 minute walk to a side entrance at Epcot and a boat ride to MGM. I also like how the Boardwalk, and Swan and Dolphin and right next to each other. Its nice to unwind with a stroll along the boardwalk.
Yeah, the Beach club may be pricey but it's worth it.

I have unfortunately only been to one. It was the Fort Wilderness Cabins! It was awesome the rooms were really nice along with the staff. The transportation was great. We didn't get to do many activities while we were there other than parks, but everything looked so much fun! Good luck have fun!
