Thx for the help!! It is so not easy. Now that I've started to think outside the 'value' box, even though I loved Poly as a kid (more than 30 yrs ago now), since this will be my 1st trip back, I'm do glad to have my eyes opened to other options from people who have experienced DW recently. Thx again!!
We visit WDW quite a bit and our kids love the WL! The Poly is spectacular but there are a few downsides: separate buildings and some room do not have a balcony. I love that WL is all under one roof. The CS option is fine and Whispering Canyon is a fun place to have a meal. The pool is great for kids and adults. As far are deluxe resorts go, it is moderately priced and has a great location. Good luck with your decision!
