Hi. We just got back on the 13th from 7 nights at WDW! Wow was it HOT, WET, and CROWDED::yes:: This was our first and last June trip!

We stayed 5 nights at the Poly GVC. Very, very nice hotel. Wonderful pool, especially if you have children that don't swim. The zero entry is fabulouse. I didn't like the water slide - too dark and fast for me... But my DH loved it. The poly's location can't be beat. All the transportation was great. Never a long wait for monorail, bus, or boat. The views were wonderful. We loved the Poly but probably won't stay conceirge again. I can't really see spending all that extra money again. But this was a special trip for my DH. The concierge lounge was very nice. We would sit there and eat breakfast or sip a glass of wine and look out at the lake and castle! awsome view from the loung. The poly is very relaxing and beautiful. I would highly recommond it.

We stayed two nights at the Dolphin as a last minute add on to our trip. We got the government rate of $149 / night. What a deal. This was also a wonderful hotel. The location, although very different from the Poly, was just as great! Their pool was wonderful, though not zero entry and their water slide was a little calmer for me! We will probably stay here again. It's a great place for kids. The room was a good size but we really missed the balcony.

I'll post later about our dining experiences. It was a very nice trip even with the heat and crowds. We didn't get to see and do as much as we would have liked but... there's is always next year!!
 
we were there 5/29-6/5

I agree with the crowds...we will NEVER again go this time of year

thanks for your report, I think we will consider the dolphin or swan next time
 
Glad you loved the Poly and the Dolphin. Our favorite is the Poly with the Swan number 2. Don't you just love those govt. disc. Was the grotto pool water cold?
