Hi, we're just back from our first split stay... We did it so that my son could stay at the Movies and I could stay at the GF. Well, we were very wise to do the Movies first.
Check-in at the movies was horrific, it took over an hour. When we got our room, it was in Herbie (not our requested Toy Story, but that was okay). However, it was about as far from everything as we could get. The room was what I expected, small, modestly furnished, etc., but one day housekeeping never showed up (well, they showed up when we were resting at 5:00, and tried to come in even when we had a "do not disturb" sign on the door).
We switched to the Grand Floridian for our last 4 nights. Well, after 3 nights at the Movies, what a nice change! We got there at 8:30 am, and our room was available. We were upgraded from Garden View to Sugar Loaf Concierge
!!! It was great, but we ate way too much! The room was on the third floor overlooking the marina, and was a little noisy with all the traffic outside, but I could deal with it 
The service was fabulous (our kids really loved the ride in the golf cart to get to our room).
Anyway, I have a new favorite resort (yes, it is the GF)
However, I think the atmosphere at the Poly is better suited for our young boys. So, as long as they're along, we'll probably head back to the Poly, but for just DH and I (if that ever happens) there is no doubt, it will be the GF.
