Breaking the 1-bedroom seal...which should be my first?

I am all about the 1bdrm at VGF. The shower area alone is the best and even most of the Resort Views are really good. I would book VGF and then if you really want Poly Tower I would wait-list that. They seem to declare inventory every 3-4 months and the last declaration was in March so June/July may increase your wait-list odds.

I’ve stayed in 1BR at both BLT and VGF, and I’d pick VGF if I had the points. It’s swankier! And the monorail ride around to TTC to transfer to the Epcot monorail is long enough to make the walk from VGF to the GF station worth it. In my memory, at BLT it took longer to walk from our room to the CR monorail station than to ride from there to TTC.

OTOH if you got a partial-MK view at BLT like we had, sitting on the balcony to see the fireworks isn’t bad.

Oh man everyone is selling VGF! I think the allure of BLT is that we didn't get a renovated room last time and I have it in my mind that I want one but that's a silly reason. We did have an MK partial view last time so that was a nice surprise. I hate the pool area so much...it's below subpar. I think the walkway is the main selling point since it'll be so hot.

As for BRV I absolutely love the theming the best...tied with Poly as the most "non-Disney vacation" feel of all the resorts for us. Some other pros are that it's the cheapest of all three in points. We also have a few whispering canyons to take advantage of the VIPassholder deal. We also have a Hoop dee doo so it would be even closer. Cons are we were just there last month and even though it quickly became a favorite, we're also the type that like to switch it up. Hence why we like split stays.

Saw the VGF 1 bedroom tour and it really does look absolutely stunning. It would mean splurging a little more with points than we wanted but could be a nice treat for ourselves. Wow this 1 bedroom thing is a whole new world isn't it lol.
