[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve stayed in all the monorail resorts and Animal Kingdom. Pros and cons to each. I wouldn’t stay off property because it’s nice to take a break and go back without losing tons of time in transit.

1. GF - the nicest but agree with posters saying it’s priced like a Ritz but the rooms feels like a Hilton. Pros were great Christmas decorations and better food in the casual sit down restaurant.
2. Polynesian- rooms are meh but kids loved the pools, dole whip and Oahano restaurant. 
3. Contemporary- IMO most convenient as you can walk to the park or monorail, food is bad except the top floor fine dining restaurant. Pools are good.
4. Animal Kingdom - great lobby, common areas, rooms nicer than other places, food the best, pools great. The big downside was the shuttle bus. So annoying as you are in a long line but no matter how close you get to the front a fat person on a scooter will roll up with 8 relatives jumping the line. Never stayed here again after 4 days and nights of this nonsense. [/quote]

All of these mean you’ll have daily room inspections at whatever time Disney decides they want to enter your room. [/quote]

??? If you get housekeeping like a normal person it’s just part of that. It’s never been an issue for us. [/quote]

If you rent DVC points, you don’t have daily housekeeping.

Regardless the housekeeping is done differently than at other hotels and they too will come in even with a DND sign for the room check. So even if you are napping with a DND sign, housekeeping will still enter. [/quote]

This is so weird. We’ve never noticed because getting the housekeeping, someone else making beds is one of the things I like on vacation. Are they doing this to try to figure out if extra people are staying in the room? I can’t imagine why a daily inspection would be needed or cost effective.[/quote]

We’ve never had an issue either but it’s a weird point of contention on some Disney boards. We are never in our room in the middle of the day so it’s a non issue. Even on a non-park day we are at the pool or mini golfing or whatever. You can also schedule a time for them to check the room. They only come in when they have been told no many times. [/quote]
