My family has made it a goal to stay in every Disney hotel, so I've got some insight on the subject. My favorite is the Grand Floridian, but it's on the pricey side. If you're planning on going to the Magic Kingdom, and especially if there are extra magic hours there during your trip that you want to attend, I'd stay at one of the monorail line hotels - Grand Floridian, Contemporary, or Polynesian - since it's way easier getting to and from on the monorail. Coronado Springs is more affordable and has several really awesome pools. The cabins at Fort Wilderness are actually double-wide trailers, but you can sleep like eight people there (assuming you're all good friends). The Yacht and Beach Club Hotels are very nice - I love the nautical vibe. The Swan and Dolphin are not actually owned by Disney - you still get extra magic hours, but they charge $10 per day for self-parking and even more for valet. All other Disney hotels have complimentary self-parking.

If you have any questions about specific hotels, feel free to PM me. And remember, it never hurts to ask about free upgrades at check-in! If they have a better room empty, often they will simply give it to you for the price of the cheaper one. We were at the GF for my birthday/med school graduation, and they upgraded us to one of the tower room suites for free.

We stayed at the Contemporary, which I thought was great. The fact that the monorail goes right through also helps.

I've always wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian. It's so gorgeous!
