Poly or BWI Club level?

Which do you prefer, the Polynesian Club level or the Boardwalk Club level?

We loved every minute of our stay at Poly's concierge level. From the incredible staff there, to the really nice offerings, you couldn't have asked for a better time.

We are not fans of the BW at all, so really there is no comparison for us.

We have also stayed at both and definitely prefer Poly Club Level over BWI - no question. It would be an easy choice for us between the two.
Have fun!!

Have stayed 30+ times at Poly, 8 of them club level, and loved every minute. That said, I am a new fan of BWI's club level. Everything about it is wonderful, from the staff to the food to being right on the Boardwalk. You definitely cannot go wrong with either choice---but my next visit will be at BWI club level!

I am staying Poly CL right now as we speak and we are in love with it! If you click on my November link in my signature there are a ton of pics of the room and the lounge and the food.

I would also go with the Poly club level. We had a not so great experience with BWI CL in February and will not return there for a while.

If you plan to spend more time at the Magic Kingdom go with the Polynesian. However if you plan to spend more time at Epcot or Hollywood Studios, go with the BoardWalk.

Well based on that then I would go with the Polynesian.

Love both resorts....both locations.....if it were MY choice..I would vote Poly...the resort holds something magical for me...ok, ok..I did get married at Sunset Point with all of the MK area surrounding us...

The lounge looks fabulous...the views...outstanding...as soon as a trip coincides with a value season and a non DVC stay..I am there!
