Need Help on Resort Pick/Best Deal

[lancerx]

Hi all,

I have to ask you all some advice on where we should stay and what you think is the best deal/value for our upcoming end of summer trip. Just a little primer, I book a couple of rooms for me and my extended family for free dining. I also came across an amazing deal that I decided to book because it seemed too good to pass and needed another room. Long story short, most of everyone bailed and it's just me, my sister (both early 30s) and my 8 yr old niece going now. I only need 1 of the rooms as we have no problem sharing it. Which one would you choose:

Option 1 - Coronado Springs (Standard View), 6 nights, 4 day park hopper, Free Dining (~$3100.00)

Option 2 - Contemporary Resort (Theme Park Tower View), 6 nights, 4 day park hopper, Free Dining (~$5300)

Option 3 - Polynesian Village (Standard View), 7 nights, 5 day park hopper & water (~$3,000.00) - I thought was amazing deal

My initial thought was Poly hands down as I have always wanted to stay there, but my heart is tugging my to stay in the cool monorail hotel with that million dollar view...and I like free food lol!!! So if you were me, which one do you think would be the best bang/value? Thanks for your help in advance!!!

Polynesian. You can spend over $300 a day on food and still come out ahead of FD at the CR.

I would definitely rule out the Contemporary. I would rather put that extra $2300 towards food at the Poly.

 

[Hopefully]

I agree with the Poly.

 

[wdwthanksgiving]

yep --Poly!

Agree! Poly is great and you'll still save money by paying OOP for food, over CR/FD.

Poly!! Great value. Agree with everyone else about the food too!!

If the view + "free" food, and one less day of park ticket is worth the extra 2300 dollars, then the Contemp.
The Poly is on the Monorail, as well, but you can walk to MK from the Contemp.

I'd do the Poly, no question. (Free dining isn't really free.)

The $2300 difference between CR and Poly does not equate to "free" dining, IMHO! The Poly deal is great. Take the $2300 savings and treat yourselves to some amazing meals or other extras.

I love the CR and the Poly but of your options and prices I would do the Poly for sure!!

That's totally not free food.

I would for sure do the Poly, such a great deal!

Another vote for the Poly. I agree with a pp that you can spend $300/day on food staying at the Poly and still come out ahead over the CR with FD. Plus the Poly's tropical atmosphere is beautiful/relaxing and you can't beat swimming in the pool with a view of the castle off in the distance .
