Ive stayed in the Port Orleans French Quarter Hotel - it was really nice there. It is one of the moderate price hotels. You will see some kids there ofcourse but not as much if you stayed in one of the All-Star resorts. Im taking DH there in February since hes never been. Have fun!

We go quite frequently and either stay at Port Orleans or Boardwalk - both on Disney Property. There are tons of kids but both hotels have quiet pools if you want to get away from them. Everyone I know that has stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge raves about it.
There are tons of hotels in the area that provides shuttles to all the parks. Double check all the rates - we were looking for something off disney property and got one rate through expedia, another from Orbitz & 2 from the hotel itself - use AAA if you can (that was the cheapest through the hotel's site). I believe you can get discount park tickets with AAA also.
There will always be kids but I would say there are a good number of childfree groups there as well.
Disney has Pleasure Island and Universal has City Walk which are nighttime entertainment centers with restaurants and bars. The boardwalk also has some bars as well as a dance club & dueling piano bar club.
DH and I LOVE the Animal Kingdom lodge - it is great to sit with a glass of wine on your balcony and watch the animals outside, Jiko is one of the best restaurants on WDW property, there is a nice lounge, overall we saw a lot of couples and a lot of honeymooners here. It does have some families but since it is farther from the parks it tends to attract couples and families with older children who want to spend more time at the resort. It also has two nice hot tubs blocked off with greenery so there is some privacy. - It is still easy to get to the parks since the buses at AKL are NOT shared with any other hotel - they were VERY quick and we never waited for more than 5 mins for any bus all week.

We are staying at the wilderness lodge next month, I can let you know how that is after I get back. Last new year's I stayed at the swan, it is in walking distance to epcot and the boardwalk! Awesome location, and not a lot of kids at all!
