This is my favorite video that DFB Guide does every year. It is truly my comfort YouTube video.

If I'm on a budget trip: Can't go wrong with Pop Century, real affordable Skyliner access which really is a gamechanger over the All Stars.
If I'm spending up: Beach Club is literally a 5 minute walk from France in Epcot and Boardwalk area, a 20 minute walk to Hollywood studios, You got boats to HS and skyliner access as well... Plus your personal water park! It's just the best in terms of both form and function if you are going BIG!

I’m probably the wrong guy to give my opinion, but I absolutely love, love, love Pop Century. The theming is very tacky, but it makes it hip for that reason.
I don’t need all of the major amenities to enjoy my stay. Give me a bed, a shower, a minor food court, a pool, and I’m a happy camper.
Having the Skyliner is a major plus which was a selling point for me.
If money was no object, I’d stay at one of the deluxe resorts near MK. Maybe someday….when I grow up! 😉👍🏻

We just got back from a week at Port Orleans French Quarter. It was our first time staying at a Disney resort and it's hard to imagine a better experience than that. We loved the compact layout, the boat ride to Disney Springs, being able to walk over to Riverside, and the bus waits and rides were very quick. I'm sure it's a good idea to try other resorts in the future, but it's going to be tough to beat that. Thanks for the video!

I really feel like Coronado Springs should be a separate category. The tower is great, but it's also priced that way - often being close to (or sometimes as much as) a deluxe. I feel like it's more like 2 separate properties sharing space. Perhaps it should be rated as 2 separate things - Coronado - Tower, and Coronado - non-Tower. They're entirely different experiences, and if you're looking at the non-Tower parts, it would likely be nearer the bottom of the rankings for moderates (not that there's anything wrong with it, just that CBR has the skyliner, and PO has the ability to move between FQ and Riverside, plus the boat to Disney Springs). Too often all of the recommendations and rankings puts Coronado at the top of the moderate rankings, but that's ONLY if you can be in the tower, and compared to the rest of the moderates, the sticker shock for the tower is REAL.

Pop Century and Art of Animation are our two favorites of any of the hotels, we love them both. The theming is just so Disney it makes our stay fantastic and we won't stay anywhere else.

Watching vids like this makes me want to stay at every resort tbh 😆

Loved this video: the Yacht club is my favourite Disney hotel, so that and the Beach Club winning was the cherry on top.

[EricSimonds]

This was a great video. I agreed with most of what you said, but it differed for me depending on the reason for my trip. When it's just the wife and I, I would choose something different than I would have when the kids join us. I would love to see a video with your opinions under other circumstances (Couples trip, family trip, guys/girls trip, park trip, or just a trip to relax and resort hop, etc.). Love what you do, and we always look for any of you when we are there.

I literally listen to DFB all day at work - it just makes my heart happy ❤🥰

[ChadStormTheAftermath]

You make a good point, Brea! I’ll stick with Pop Century! I just love it!

We just stayed at the Polynesian in Moorea building which is less than 100 yards from the Transportation and Ticket Center. This is our first stay on property in 50 years visiting DisneyWorld. We were on the 3rd floor looking at The Magic Kingdom and also had full access use of the Island Tower and Mailulu Grill, which had one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I agree with your assessment of Beach and a Yacht Club because their balance of luxury and convenience is amazing. We felt the vibe around the lake as being “This all came first”. We visited here on our honeymoon 48 years ago, so it has nostalgia for us. We love all of Disney, but this was magical for us. Love your articles!

We would love to see an episode on hotels for Couples and seniors.😊

Lost me when the Poly lost to Yacht and Beach. haha!!

[Cameron.Sullivan]

I dont care what anyone says, All Star Movies will always be the best resort at Disney to me. If I’m going I’m not spending all day at the resort anyway, and coming back to that level of theming and imersiveness each night at such a low price point is absolutely magical🙌

[a-totally-random-person]

I like Contemporary. They have all the food and shops I need, a monorail in it, and I can walk to Magic Kingdom for rope drop.

[joysjourney]

Honestly, you can't beat Fort Wilderness, especially with kids 😃

[kandicemorse]

We have stayed at Beach Club for our last two trips and we love the location, pool, and ice cream. Now that the cost has doubled to over a thousand dollars a night, however, we will probably pick a more affordable option for our next trip. Yes, it is a nice resort but the rooms don’t equate to that price point.

I don't have unlimited money. Watching this is Only Entertainment!

If you want to feel less crowded and quiet to de stimulate from a day at the parks. It’s hard to beat port orleans for the price. It loses a little “Disney” feel which can be a positive or negative. It is however pretty chill. Also the theme music for port Orleans on the bus gives it bonus points.
