Poly, CR, or GF Club Level

[zbcincy30]

We are lucky to be able to stay at one of these resorts club level and are trying to decide which is the best for us. We will be traveling with our two year old.

Perks we like - CR walk to MK, Poly walk to Epcot monorail and resort atmosphere, GF we have never stayed.

What we don't like - CR pool compared to others, Poly seems always crazy busy

Which one would you choose? and thanks for your input.

GF RPC is the best lounge hands down! Poly you can watch MK fireworks from lounge. CR is walking distance to MK.
This list is my pref in order. Everyone’s priorities are different.

My choice would be RPC. We've never stayed at the CR and only standard at Poly, but I loved RPC as the lounge is large and spacious as well as relaxing with beautiful views of the grounds.

We have only stayed at the GF club but in the outer building. I have heard the food is the same but it lacked the lounge feel you get at say, Jambo house. I love that club as we tend to hang around in the evening playing cards, watching movies, enjoying the fabulous location high above the Jambo house lobby. GF is nice but it's more of a place to just go get your food and drink and not really hang out and rest. The price of club level in RPC has always been price prohibitive for us. I will say this though, we just returned from AKL club and felt the food was much better than our last club level stay there or even at GF 18 months ago.

We stayed at the Poly CL and the GF main building CL. GF wins hands down. It was gorgeous and much more open and spacious and elegant than the poly, with better food. We could never get enough seats for our family of 5 at the poly and the food was always picked over if you didn’t get there early. Rooms were much nicer at GF too. Also, GF CL was more convenient for us since it was an elevator ride to the monorail instead of a separate building like the Poly. Plus if your two-year-old does in-room naps, GF is nice because it has a huge movie library at the concierge desk whereas Poly had pretty limited selection.

GF. It’s just a better overall resort IMHO, with better amenities, more restaurants, etc. CR feels like an airport hangar and, yes, Poly is noisy and chaotic.

GF RPC is the best CL hands down of the three, although we have enjoyed CL at all three resorts. The GF RPC is in the main building where dining and shopping are under one roof. The food is a notch above that offered at the Poly and CR, you have afternoon tea offered at the Gf and the lounge has live music from the band or piano playing below. It is a spacious, open and bright lounge that is relaxing and pleasant to spend time sipping a beverage or enjoying a light snack.
The Poly does have the best view from its lounge, although the view from the CR is also quite exceptional. Either the Poly or the CR will allow you to watch the MK fireworks while relaxing there. The GF has views of the GF grounds which are nice, but not a fireworks view.
