OKW, SSR, Poly or Beach Club and WHY?!?!

[MinnieMom]

Which would you prefer to stay at and why?!?! I am having such a difficult time choosing!!

Oh, I should add this trip will be just DH and I for our 10th anniversary . . . . no kiddos!

Romantic fireworks view from beach, MONORAIL, Kona Cafe breakfast, REAL Coffee, romantic atmosphere, beautiful landscapes, dark comfortable rooms, Wyland Gallery, fresh flower lei's, and so many little details that will make it unforgettable and undeniably the best resort for the occasion.

Beach Club because you have very easy access to Epcot (and Studios), you are close to the monorail (somewhat anyway!), the pool is great, and the atmosphere is nice. The one thing that holds me back from wanting to stay at the Poly is that they have no hot tub... not a single one! I like to soak after long days in the parks... preferably with beer, wine, or hot chocolate!

I voted Beach Club. You're close to World Showcase, lots of restaurants, & you get to enjoy Stormalong Bay. DW & I celebrated our 25th anniversary at BC. It was a blast!

I voted for OKW. The rooms are huge, the atmosphere laid back and the grounds are lush and beautiful.

I voted BC. That resort is just awesome!!! Convenient, romantic, and fun all rolled into one!!! It just doesn't get any better than that!!!

I didn't vote because my choices weren't among the options. For a 10-year anniversary, I'd choose one of these:

Grand Floridian Royal Palm Club -- based on our recent experience, the ultimate in pampering and romance

Boardwalk Inn -- honeymoon suite -- a two level room with separate downstairs sitting area, upstairs king bed, jacuzzi tub, tiny kitchenette, your own private lattice-work entrance and a cute mailbox all in a beautiful rose garden area, plus comes with Club Level amenities

Beach Club Villas or Boardwalk Villas -- a one bedroom villa at either would be lovely -- we like the one bedrooms because you're guaranteed a king bed, and you have a jacuzzi tub, washer/dryer (handy if you like to work out), full kitchen (we rarely cook but it's very convenient for room service and take-out meals) a separate living area and two TV's. For two adults, I recommend the Epcot Resort area as there are more dining options within walking distance there than anywhere else.

I voted for the BC.....when my DH and I do WDW by ourselves, we like to stay close to Epcot, besides the kids would kill us if they found out we stayed near the MK w/out them. At BC, you can take walks around the water, stroll down to Jellyrolls, watch the Epcot fireworks from the bridge.

I voted SSR...newer, upscale aura to it...beautiful grounds, can be romantic, long walks, quiet and peaceful, close to DTD...great pool area...SPA...oh did I mention there is a SPA on property

While I love Poly, can be "busy"....BC...kids everywhere, would make me miss mine...lol...Havent stayed at OKW yet.....
Really, you cant go wrong with your choices....they are all very good! Flip a coin!

Location!

 

[MickeyNicki]

I picked BC because of the location but I would really pick YC because it is so much quieter.

Stayed at the POLY and it was just ok, way to chaotic for us. We are trying OKW for the first time for a week in March, it was the only thing open with the 40% off discount code.

We stayed at the Yacht Club (Connected to the Beach Club) and loved it! The pool area is amazing and the ice cream and burgers at Beaches and Cream were yummy. It was nice to be able to walk to Epcot or the Boardwalk. The only downfall was that bus service was slow at times, however everything else made up for it!

 

[plgrn]

Beach Club! You can't beat that 5 minute walk to Epcot and Stormalong Bay is the best pool ever! Plus you get all the magic of the Boardwalk at night.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

I voted Poly because it would be my personal first choice. But BC is just as nice and has better nightlife. Either one would be perfect!!! I would not do a DVC resort for a romantic trip without kids.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

I would not do a DVC resort for a romantic trip without kids.

Just curious.... why would you not do a DVC resort for a romantic trip?

 

[Harley-Mouse]

We love this resort. No kids with all the great resturants around. You can walk to JELLYROLLS. If you have no kids and have not gone there it is a must do. You will have a blast.

 

[MinnieMom]

Thanks so much for the input! I am having such a tough time deciding, but I think I'm going to go with the Poly. The BC looks beautiful too and I see that got the most votes , but it just doesn't look quite as romantic to me and I don't know that we would really use SAB that much.

I don't know much about OKW or SSR, so I wanted some input on those too, but apparently they are not nearly as popular . . . at least not for an anniversary trip!

Thanks again for your input!

I put SSR because I am going there in May with me and 7 other people. We are staying at the really big roomfor all of us and I really can't wait. Is it a good resort because this will be my first time actually staying on disney property ( gasp )!!!!

1) Location...So nice to be foot steps from Epcot, DHS and Boardwalk
2) The pool is one of the best on property... love that zero entrance beach area
3) Nice counter-service by pool and great shop for grabbing snacks and other yummuy quick foods
4) Cape May for breakfast
5) Atmosphere of the resort is wonderful... very relaxing mood and very beautiful
6) Beaches and Cream is great
