Thanks, now I know which resort NOT to stay at!
I will not go into it now, Mr. Kidds, but I will leave you with the one underlying principle that applies equally to the Sports & Music as well as the Floridian.I can't necessarily see how the value resorts are a bad thing.

what do the contemporary, the grand floridian, the wilderness lodge, the polynesian, the dolphin, the swan, the yacht club, the beach club, the boardwalk, the coronado springs, the caribbean beach, the dixie landings, etc., have to do with disney?? i don't see any disney themes in these hotels... the only one that "has to do with disney" is the all stars because they have giant disney things all over it....
The Disney Touch had a lot to do with theming being in service of a story. The Contemporary was themed as the hotel of Tomorrow, the backdrop for Tomorrowland; the Poly, GF, Y&BC and Boardwalk all have backstories that put you in a different place or time. The Swan and Dolphin don't count, they aren't even Disney hotels, and were never themed, only decorated.what do the contemporary, the grand floridian, the wilderness lodge, the polynesian, the dolphin, the swan, the yacht club, the beach club, the boardwalk, the coronado springs, the caribbean beach, the dixie landings, etc., have to do with disney?? i don't see any disney themes in these hotels
i know they're THEMED, but they are not themed to anything DISNEY, unless disney has some sort of copyright on the future, the tropics, the national parks or the beach...Originally posted by WDWHound
Spago: The theme of contemporary was the future. They implemented it by creating a futuristic (at the time) environment in which to stay. They did not do it by putting up a fifty foot tall astronaut and huge futuristic sayings like "Beam Me Up". The Poly's them was implemeted by creating a tropical village, not a fifty foot tall hula dancer and a giant "ALOHA".
Construction costs would be largly the same I'm sure.
Yeah!! There sure was. And not one brick, nail or lick of paint was Disney in style or substance!!!!!Again, very abstract, but also very much a detailed story...next time anyone is at WDW, I'd recommend taking the tour or reading Glo's description and then view the S/D in that context. You still might think it looks ugly but I think you'll at least understand more than simply decorating was going on here.
Thats all BS too!! Thats the stuff that Disney had to do in order to get the public to buy into the caste system! THEY HAD TO SHOW A DIFFERENCE!!!The only really differences between deluxe moderate and Value resorts are
Exterior Hallways vs. Interior
Sit down eateries/number of food options
Proximity of NON-Bus transportation/Theme Park Access
Number of Services and Amenities.

but I now find S/D just about the most immersive resort at all of WDW when it comes to "living in a story".
