We currently have reservations for 2 rooms at the Polynesian September 9 -13. I'm thinking of changing resorts because of the East Pool construction. We plan to have a lot of down and want to relax by the pool. There is not enough shade at the main pool.
We are a group of 8. Myself, my husband, our two children (24 and 20), and four of their friends. Three people in our group have never been to Disney so I want this to be a great experience for them. These are the resorts I've narrowed it down to.
1. Two suites at AoA - the extra space will be wonderful and two bathrooms with be great with four girls. I'm worried that the fold down bed and fold out couch will not be big enough or comfortable for four grown boys. Also, the pools, I don't remember a lot of shade around the main pool. My husband hates sitting in the sun.
2. Two rooms at WL. We love the WL but the rooms are so small for four adults. I love the boat transportation to MK. The pool is fine though I don't remember a lot of shade.
3. Two rooms at AKL. We love this place as well but again, the rooms feel smaller than WL. We love the pool and there are shady areas to sit. We have never had good luck with bus service at AKL. This makes me nervous. We plan to spend early morning and evenings at the parks so a lot of traveling back and forth.
4. Two rooms at KWR. We have never stayed at this resort. I've never heard anyone say that they have stayed there so I know nothing about it other than pictures on the Disney website. The rooms look larger than most. I like that there are several pools on property.
* I also am considering a two bedroom suite.
Any advice or experiences would be awesome. Please help me decide!!
