Typically we stay closest to the Epcot grounds - either the Boardwalk/Yacht Club/Beach Club if we can afford it, or the Swan/Dolphin if we cannot. Staying this close is great because you can enter/exit Epcot from the International Gateway - you're super close to everything, and if you can get a resort view, you can see the fireworks every night. Plus, you'll enjoy the short walk if you plan on drinking around the world

2nd favorite was staying in the Contemporary, resort view. Again, free fireworks and there's something to be said for hitching a ride on a monorail that goes through your hotel
