I was just wanted to know how large is the Poly compared to other resorts like POFQ, POP, or POR ? Do you have to do alot of walking to get around the resort ?

Actually, the Poly is way smaller than POR. Take a look on Google maps satellite view and you'll be surprised how small it is. It's actually quite compact and can be walked from it's further east (TTC entrance) to it's furthest west ( luau cove) in 5-7 minutes. North south is no more than half that. From the furthest building you can get to the volcano pool or GCH in less than 5 minutes.

People say it's big but that's an illusion due to landscaping and curving paths. Don't worry about walking distances at all.

Thank you I was thinking of staying there and looked at a video that made it seem like it might be a lot of walking. Must just look that way on the video lol.

How much bigger would you say it is compared to the POFQ ?

I stayed @ POFQ 9/08, and @ the Poly 12/09. Neither is large, Disneywise. At POFQ I was in building 7, which is closest to POR, so it was a stroll to get to the food court, the pool, the bus stop. At the Poly we were on the parking lot side of Raratonga, which is right next to the Great Ceremonial House (the lobby, restaurants, monorail stop, etc.) So except for walking over to the TTC to catch the Epcot monorail, everything was very close. To walk from one side of either resort to the opposite, I would guess that it's about the same, so much of how far things seem depends on where w/in the resort your particular room is.
