I am wanting to rent out two studios next year for the night before our cruise, that will be on May 23rd. I was originally wanting to go with OKW but my adult daughter mentioned the Poly. l told here I could put it down on our list as first choice with OKW being 2nd choice. So do you think it would be hard to get two studios at 7 months with the Poly? If so, then OKW will be just fine for me.
 
Either would be fine. Are you driving for your cruise? If so, proximity to your car would be of importance (for loading and unloading luggage). If so, I'd request a ground floor at OKW and (I know, this is blasphemy...) Pago Pago at the Poly so you would be right by your car...

No car this trip. Ground floor absolutely at OKW if we stay there. The Poly I could care less I guess. First available. We will see. The Poly is more money of course, but if two studios are available next year that will perhaps be our first choice.
 
With Memorial Day being so late in 2021 I'd say your chances are quite good for two studios at Poly so long as your owner books promptly. If you are renting though, shouldn't you be able to book with a Poly owner within the 7-11 month window?
 

How much of the two days would u be getting at the resorts? If it's a good chunk of time and you can utilize the amenities a bit, try the poly. If its shorter, then I'd go OKW and save the money. Poly you can also walk to GF, check out the new lounge there if so inclined.

Good point. We wouldn't be there long, just really one day overall. We will see. The theme at OKW certainly does "go better" with the cruise we are going to take. I will change my mind only 356,999 times before then, lol.

This. Yes, the Memorial Day holiday is later next year and that is one of the reasons I think that the cruise we have booked is the last one before the pricing really gets jacked before summer. My daughter will have to miss the last two days of school, but to be completely honest, on Friday, May the 21st, they will have everything done for that school year that needs to be done. The last two days of the 24th and 25th are there just to get in their 180 days.

Sounds like a great plan!
 
Wait, why is OKW ground floor blasphemy? I need to know! Who wants to carry stuff upstairs?

I think you read it wrong. It is requesting Pago Pago at Poly that I was referring to jokingly as "blasphemy". Pago Pago is usually the area people try to avoid because half of the building faces the parking lot. However, if you were just staying for one night on the way to a cruise (as we did this past November), it is nice because you are really close to your car for loading and unloading luggage...
