Poly or Contemporary for overnight trip?

[Floridagal23]

We are taking our 4yo daughter to Disney for a quick overnight trip for her birthday (we live in South Florida). We usually stay at GF but it isn’t available right now. We have reservations at Poly and Bay Lake Tower. Trying to decide what is a better option. We are planning on driving up in the morning and doing Epcot that afternoon (frozen ride and she is into countries) and Magic Kingdom the next day. I like contemporary for walking to MK, but I think she will enjoy the theming at Poly more. Even so, for an overnight stay we won’t be in the room much to enjoy. A few questions:
-do either of the hotels have room service for breakfast?
-I assume with both hotels we can get to magic kingdom and Epcot on the monorail, right?
-is it an easy walk from contemporary to magic kingdom?
Thanks!

1. No hotels have room service except GF I believe
2. Yes
3. Extremely easy

For me though I'd pick BLT because the biggest draw of the Poly is the pool and the common areas. If you won't be enjoying those, it's not really worth it.

Thanks! Looks like we will stick with BLT unless GF becomes available for our date. When things return to ‘normal’ we will plan a longer trip to Poly.

- The only WDW resort with room service, currently, is GF
- Yes, if you stay at Poly, you can take the monorail to MK and you can walk to TTC to get directly onto the EP monorail. From CR, you can walk to MK and you can take the monorail from CR to TTC and then transfer to the EP monorail there
- Yes, it's an easy walk from CR to MK.

Personally, I would pick Poly - the theming and resort are so much nicer than CR. I've stayed at CR multiple times, most recently in December and it feels so sterile and it's quite loud (I could hear the lobby music from the 11th floor). It is definitely not at the top of my list any longer.
