I've stayed at both resorts and I have to say that I prefer the WL over the Poly. For me, it comes down to the theming. I just don't love the Polynesian theme. But I don't think you can go wrong with either resort. To me, I think your decision should be based on whether you think you'd like...

I definitely vote for taking your child to Disney whenever YOU are ready to go to Disney. We took our oldest daughter to WDW when she was almost 2.5. It truly was magical. I was pregnant and she was still in diapers, but it truly was no big deal. We just took another trip to WDW with our...

I would choose early June hands down. July is so crowded and HOT. I can't emphasize enough that it is HOT!

Yes! I do this too. I should mention that I'm totally addicted to buying my girls clothes anyway though. (I figure that they will only let me dress them for so long, so I might as well enjoy it now!) I just returned from WDW and they had all new clothes (of course they needed them anyway...

We just returned from our latest WDW trip. We went with our two DDs (ages 1 and 3.5). They are both still in five-point harness carseats. We bought seats on the plane for both of them and installed their carseats in the seats. It was fast and the flight attendant was not surprised and...

I don't have any answers for you, but I just wanted you to know that I completely understand!! We just returned from our week-long WDW trip on Saturday. It is such a let-down to come home. DH wants me to start planning the next trip NOW. And DD (3.5) doesn't understand why we can't go back...

I've just returned from WDW and I had a refrigerator at the Polynesian. It was the best thing we could have done! It did have a small freezer section that we could use to freeze ice packs. It certainly didn't work as well as the one at home, but it was okay. We found that if we put the two...

You will love the Poly if the theme appeals to you. I didn't love it and I doubt I'll ever stay there again, but the main reason is that I really didn't like the theme. I'm not a "tropical" type of person (living in Florida for years ruined the appeal for me) so I enjoy the WL and YC and BC...

I just got back from a week's stay at the Polynesian. It certainly isn't my favorite hotel and I doubt I'll stay there again, but I definitely don't think that it is run down. Yes, it is a little dated looking, but not run down. I didn't have any issues with the cleanliness of the room and...

My least favorite resort is definitely CBR. I would never stay there again. I just got back from a stay at the Poly. It was okay, but I didn't love it. I was very happy with the restaurants though. I guess the theming didn't do it for me and the rooms and buildings did seem very dated...

We haven't requested a specific building. Since we've never stayed at the Poly before, we just thought that we'd just be "placed" rather than request something specifically. Is that a bad idea?

Thanks so much for all of the replies! I tried to post last night but the board was soooo slow and then when I finally got to this post and tried to open it, I got a message saying that the server was too busy and I'd have to try later! I guess there are a lot of Disney fans on here at night...

I know that this is probably a sacrilege to say this here, but I'm just not excited about my Disney trip which is starting in 13 days. Let me preface this by saying that I have always been a huge Disney fan and have been to WDW many times and have always had so much fun!! Aside from Europe, it...

Nope. I used to live in Florida and you couldn't pay me enough to move back. If it wasn't for Disney World, I'd never go back even for a visit.

That's a hard decision. I'm all for saving money too, but I have given in to my husband and decided to stay at the Poly over the WL on our next trip. I have stayed at both the YC (the Beach Club's sister resort) and the CBR before. Here are my thoughts on your situation: I didn't love...
