with a nice discount, ended up dropping it for another resort (and, perhaps, a different discount) but then later wished you would have kept the first resort (after it was too late to rebook the first resort with the original discount)?
I just booked CSR in Dec. with FD for 6 of our 8 nights (we're doing a RO for the first 2 nights). I'm pretty happy about it, but we'd really like to do a Poly/BC split stay. FD won't save us much for that, so we're waiting for room discounts.
If the room discounts entice us enough (and are available), we'll probably switch (which pains me somewhat b/c CSR with FD for 6 of 8 nights is a pretty good deal).
My concern if we switch has to do with the rumored refurb work at the Poly. These rumors include the possiblity of the Volcano Pool area being closed late this year as well as some preliminary work refurbing the GCH.
If I knew in advance that this would be the case during our trip, I would not switch my deal at CSR for Poly (even for a 40% room discount at the Poly). However, Disney often waits until the last minute to announce these things, often well past the 45 day no change fee window (like they recently did at GF).
So I worry that I'll switch resorts (losing our FD discount at CSR) and then find out afterword that some of the main areas of the Poly are out of commission. Even though we'll persumably have some other discout at the Poly, my enthusiasm for staying there wll be greatly diminished. But, at that point, it may be entirely too late to get a discount anywhere else (plus if it's after the 45 day window, we'd have to pay a change fee to boot).
Anyone else ever faced a similar situation? What did you ultimately do (FWIW, I'm religiously following Tikiman's site)?

I can afford to make all of those deposits (and wait to get reimbursed) but it seems like such a hassle.
