We have never stayed at the Polynesian or Contemporary but we have stayed at the value, moderates and AKL and the rooms at DL are bigger then any of these. We always stay in the main building where you check in and the corner room we had faced the pool, it was very nice. One time we had a standard view room that we ended up really liking because we were on an upper floor and could see the fireworks every night. The other two buildings will have a pool view and one, I think, looks over DC. When you walk into the rooms the bathroom/vanity area are first, and then the beds, t.v., table, and daybed. Each room has a sliding door out to a railing that you can open and look out. It is not big enough for a table or chairs, like at WDW, but it is nice to open and look out. Our last visit we had a friend of the kids go, we had 5 in the room and it was comfortable and fine for all of us. Like I said in my previous post, we stayed at PP and did not care for it as much as DL hotel. Even though PP is across the street from DC it is nice to walk out of our building and feel like I'm right there at Disney.
