Well, Billie, I asked my 13-year-old daughter this question and this is what I got:
* Animal Kingdom: to see the animals....
* Polynesian: because eating at 'Ohanas is fun.
* Grand Floridian: it's pretty.
I guess I need to elaborate!
If your daughter is an animal lover, a Savanna view from the
Animal Kingdom lodge will delight her. If you are planning your visit during the warmer seasons of the year, you may want to consider one of the resorts that has a good pool and/or beach area. The
Polynesian and
Grand Floridian fit this bill, but you may also want to consider the
Beach Club. It boasts Stormalong Bay with a lazy river, water slide and tanning deck and it's located near Epcot and Disney Studios--a little more mature than Magic Kingdom for a girl who may be 13 but going on 30....
Wishing you a magical vacation!
