So I currently have a split stay booked for April 2022. We have Poly booked first for 2 nights. We are keeping that regardless because we are going to the parks before our cruise. Im not confident that we will actually go on the Disney cruise, so I booked BC for 7 nights after just in case. (We may cancel the cruise ourselves depending on restrictions).

Our daughter will be 5. It’ll be the 3 of us. How’s the difference between the 2? I want to stay at the Poly regardless but it was a bit pricy for the extended stay, so that’s why I booked BC. I wanted BC for Stormalong Bay. My husband doesn’t care where I book and says if it were him, he’d just have booked wilderness lodge again (we’ve stayed their 2 times already).

I would actually consider AKL but they don’t have any sort of opening yet.
 
BC is my favorite resort. With the proximity to EP, DHS and countless restaurants and activities on the Boardwalk, its location is spectacular. I think Poly/BC is a great split.

We've stayed at both, BC is also our favorite because Epcot is our favorite park and it's a quick walk to that park. I think you can't go wrong with either but if you have a significant preference for MK, you might want to extend your stay at the Poly (if possible) since you can walk to that vs having to take a bus from BC.

Thank you! I’ll have to see what happens with the cruise but I may do that. At her age, we do love MK. But she likes Hollywood studios now a lot too.
 

The BC and Poly are our two favorite resorts. We often do split stays between the two and have one coming up in August.

The thing we love about both resorts is the ability to walk to different parks. If not walking, other modes of transportation besides the busses is an option. Both resorts have really nice pools and good food options. I do think the BC QS options are lacking compared to other resorts, but there are so many dining locations in that area that we can always find something to eat.

If you decide to not go on the cruise, I’d definitely split your stay between the two resorts. I’ve never stayed at AKL, but have eaten at some of the restaurants there, and while the resort is gorgeous, we cannot commit to staying there because of the distance to the parks and the busses being the only transportation option. Our stays at the BC/YC and the Poly have spoiled us.
 
Love the Poly but I'm with you--it's very pricey and I'm not sure we will stay there again unless with get a great deal :confused3 Never stayed at BC, but they will be our neighbors this upcoming trip :beach:

I’m excited to stay there the 2 nights though. Especially with the new Moana theme. My daughter is very excited. But for the full 9 nights it’s too much
