We've stayed at all three of these wonderful resorts and the Poly is our favorite. We loved the magical feel of the Contemporary, but it's a bit outdated. The Grand Floridian was just that...GRAND. But, a bit stuffy for our taste. Didn't like the pool either.
The Poly - love it! It's our favorite resort. I know some folks feel it's outdated but I disagree. I love the Brady Bunch goes to Hawaii thing. The rooms are huge, landscapring is gorgeous, CMs are the best on property, good food and drinks abound, wonderful beach area and pool (complete with piped in underwater Hawaiin music), and although I hate to quote real estate agents...LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.
