Yacht Club Review
We stayed in Yacht Club concierge (lagoon view) room number 5151. I cannot say enough good things about the Yacht Club. What a lovely resort-upscale yet relaxed at the same time. The newly renovated rooms are decorated very nicely, and we really loved the small table that pulls out from under the desk. We used it every day to eat our breakfast, and it was so convenient.
The concierge staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. They
always spoke to us when we passed by and even struck up long conversations with us. I asked to see some of their suites if they were unoccupied, and one of the concierge staff members took us on a nice tour of the empty suites and explained some different features of the ones we didn't see. They were very
luxurious and lovely, but we didn't have enough time in the suites to take pictures of them. The concierge staff was very helpful in making priority seatings for us and was incredibly professional--completely top notch. The food in the lounge was plentiful, but we did not try the evening hors devours (sp?) as they looked a bit too gourmet for our tastes. The breakfast was nice (they had donuts-yum! --as well as bagels, cereal, oatmeal, etc.), and they had a wide variety of mid-day snacks (white cheddar popcorn, pretzels, chips and salsa, little cheesecake slices, etc.). The
dessert offerings were also plentiful, though we were too full to try those. There's always next time to try the desserts, LOL! I highly recommend the Yacht Club, and especially the concierge. The resort is so convenient to Epcot (about a 5 minute walk) and convenient to Disney MGM Studios as well (we took the walking path, and it took about 15-20 minutes at a reasonable pace). Two thumbs up! Here is a link to my pictures:

Polynesian Resort Review
We also stayed at the Polynesian concierge, garden view room number 2532. This was my second time at the Poly concierge, and I thought it was very nice once again. The staff here is very friendly and helpful as well. Before my trip they asked several times via email if I had any special requests, needs, etc. They also honored our request for a non-smoking room. This resort seemed busier than the Yacht Club, and we definitely saw more families with children here than at the Yacht Club. However, despite the business of the resort, it definitely still had a relaxed, tropical feel to it. The food in the Poly's lounge was delicious! The breakfast had bagels, cereal, danishes, and the yummy coconut bread they serve at the character breakfast at 'Ohana. I believe that mid-day snacks were mostly fresh cookies, though we weren't there in the middle of the day to confirm that. I don't believe we had any other meals in the Poly concierge (we were only there 2 nights), but I remember thinking the food was fabulous on my last trip. Bottled water and soft drinks are out for the taking, and the guava juice was wonderful. The Poly itself is a great resort with super convenience to the Magic Kingdom. Also, you can walk directly from the Poly to the TTC, shortening the commute to Epcot quite a bit. The restaurants at the Poly are outstanding--we ate at both 'Ohana and Kona Cafe and were more than pleased with both restaurants. I would also recommend the Poly to anyone who enjoys a relaxed, family-oriented resort. Here is a link to my Poly pictures:

Feel free to ask me any questions about either resort.
