What was your first resort?

I'm just curious where everyone stayed for their first on-property trip. Have you stayed at that resort again? Is it one of your favorites?

The first time we stayed in the bubble was at Coronado. We haven't stayed there since, but we're going back in May and I'm so excited!
Our first resort was Colorado Springs, and we found it to be too big to enjoy. It had nice rooms but the restaurant was terrible at that time, many years ago. We have not gone back to CS, but found our home at POr and POFQ.
 
Waaay back when on my first family trip, mid 1970s, we stayed at Contemporary. First real on site stay as grownups was Pop Century, 2005. We'd stayed offsite several times between 2000-2005, but really came to love using Disney transportation, etc. bought DVC 2011, first DVC stay was Saratoga.
 
From what I can remember it was all stars. Not sure which one. I think music?
 
Riverside. Pretty good and I liked the locale and atmosphere. And easy transport to Disney Springs to go chill out.
 
For me it was:

2021 - Old Key West
2022 - Saratoga Springs - The Springs
2022 - Grand Floridian / Boardwalk - Welcome Home trip
2023 - Grand Floridian
2025 - Grand Floridian

Riverside. Pretty good and I liked the locale and atmosphere. And easy transport to Disney Springs to go chill out.
That was my favorite thing about staying at Saratoga. Whenever we had an off day or left the parks early, my wife and I went into Disney Springs and just relaxed.
 
My first on-site stay was the Contemporary in the North Garden wing. We had a first floor room with a patio that looked out to the Magic Kingdom and we could see the fireworks. That wing was subsequently torn down and replaced with Bay Lake Towers DVC.
