Hmm... Poly Standard or GDT CL

Doing a few days before my Wish cruise in August 2022. I'm currently booked at Poly in a Standard View. When I saw the info about Club, I emailed my TA to ask her to price GDT Club for the same dates/ticket combo (3-day ticket). I peeked this morning and they are within $100 of each other.

I'm torn.

While I like the idea of trying Club Level, and GDT does look lively (I'm staying there in July actually), I'm questioning how much use I will actually get out of it since my transportation to and from the parks will be by bus (I have not driven since I moved to NYC in 2006 (just don't need to, nothing traumatic happened) - a rental car at Disney is NOT the time to start again) which will make going back and forth less tempting.

Poly has always been a dream resort - I did stay Studio side in Feb and enjoyed it, and the new Moana rooms look amazing. Plus it has the benefit of easy access to MK, and potentially Epcot if the Epcot monorail starts again.

But Club Level sounds nice too. (And no, WL - the next less expensive CL - is a bit of a reach, plus the thumbing has never appealed to me.)

GAH!
 
We have stayed at GDT CL twice. We used busses to the parks (not ropedrop). We used Uber back to the resort, after 1 long wait for a bus. The central location of GDT made rideshare economical and of course it is easy. We love Poly too, especially lake view. I liked Poly in summer and GDT non-summer.
 
I'd probably vote for the Poly still. You're curious about the new Moana rooms and it's more convenient for transportation. It sounds like CL is more of an idle curiosity than a long-cherished dream for you.

If you really love the GDT in July, perhaps reconsider. But if you feel like you'd be there, pining for the Poly while trying to "get your money's worth" by bending your schedule around the CL offerings, then I'd just stick with your original plan.
