Post Disney Resort Awards Please Read Before Posting

This is a little something I put together we choose the best resort restaurants, pool, theme, and amenities.

So you do it like this

Best Restaurant At A Resort
________________ The Blank Is Just an example of where your opinion is than you write a synopsis why this is just an example.

Best Pool

Best Theme

Best Amenities

I also need posters who frequently visit the resort and have experience with reviews and critiques etc.

Yachtsman Steakhouse is the best restaurant at a resort. We're big steak lovers, and this is the best on on propoert. Shula's is a close second

Stormalong bay is the best pool. It's like as miniature water park and it's only open to BC?YC guests, so it's rarely overcrowded

Best theme" WL. You can spend the better part of a day just checking it out. POR i the best moderate

Best amenities: BWI> Reccemtly refirbished. The entire Boardwalk at your disposal. Walk to Epcot / DHS

Hope this helps

Best Restaurant At A Resort - Jiko (AKL). Fabulous flavors in a wonderful resort.

Best Pool -- Storm Along Bay (BC). It's a really a small waterpark.

Best Theme -- POFQ. You really feel like you're in a quaint city and not a resort.

Best Amenities -- all the deluxes have pretty much the same amenities. I'd say that the BC wins for Art the Greeter and Teena!

Best Restaurant: We LOVE Boma at AKL, but our dining experiences are very limited to date!)
Best Pool: Stormalong Bay at BC/YC. The Dig Site at Coronado Springs is another favorite, though.
Best Theme: Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Best Amenities: Beach/Yacht Club. The Boardwalk is right there, Stormalong Bay and walking distance to Epcot & DHS.

Best restaurant - I'd say California Grill
Best Pool - Stormalong Bay at BC/Yacht Club
Best Theme - really have to go with Animal Kingdom Lodge
Amenities - Tough to pick just one, but I'll go with the Boardwalk - lots going on there and proximity to Epcot and DHS

Sue, I had to laugh because when I first read yours, I thought you were calling Stan a geezer. I love Stan he and Art at the BC are great.

Best Restaurant: Yachtsman Steakhouse - incredible for steak lovers
Best Pool: Never stayed there, but have to give Stormalong Bay at BC/YC the nod.
Best Theming: The Poly is my personal fave resort, but in this category AKL beats it hands down!
Best Amenities: Would've been CR for the computers in the room, but since that's out now I'll give it to AKL. There are so many activities available there.
