Polynesian/Beach Club Split

[Jacq7414]

Right now we have booked a Polynesian/Beach club split stay. We are doing Polynesian first and then heading over to BC. We can’t create any one stay into a full stay because the hotels aren’t available for the entirety of our stay.

After reading stuff on here it seems like we will be “disappointed” to go from the Poly to BC. Just ease my mind it’ll be ok? we are spending a lot of money on this trip and I hate to be like damnit I wish we had booked the Poly for the entire stay.

The trip is just going to be myself, my husband, and our 5 year old daughter. Any tips to make each hotel stay memorable? It’s a 2 night/7 night split. The Poly was supposed to be a hotel stay before the Disney cruise we cancelled - it wasn’t available for the full time so I booked BC instead because I wanted to try it out (SAB being the main reason).

We LOVE Beach Club. We stayed at the Poly in July and missed BCV. You will have a glorious time at both. Don't over think it.

I think having all that time at SAB sounds awesome! I don’t think you’ll disappointed at all! And how close you’ll be to HS & EP! What a great trip! I’d book it!

We like Beach Club much better than Polynesian, but we like the Epcot resort area much better than the Magic Kingdom resorts.

The Polynesian is nice, we just like the atmosphere better at Beach and the entire surrounding Boardwalk area. The pool at Beach is just wonderful. Lot's of restaurants within walking, boating, skyliner distance.

The location of BC is amazing, IMO. We love the Boardwalk with our kids - also "little." We have BC plans for April.

I think the location of Poly and views of the castle/fireworks are amazing, but I love that Boardwalk location where I can walk to 2 resorts and hop over on a skyliner to different resorts.

The only down side is the pool is tough depending on the swim skills of your child. It's a large area and you definitely need to be vigilant. With 1 child, that shouldn't be an issue.

Both are excellent resorts and you will love them both. Walking back from Epcot after the evening shows without any transport worries is great and the Boardwalk area is beautiful at night

You will love the BC! We enjoy both resorts - just did a split stay between the two last summer. We love the Epcot resort area much, much more than the MK area. The Poly rooms are amazing and much better than the BC, but the resort itself more than makes up for it. We usually stay at the BC first before moving to the Poly, and we always miss the BC once we move.

Thanks! I’m sure I am overthinking it

It sounds like the perfect split to me. Both resorts are amazing. I LOVE BC!

We're in the same situation. The Epcot hotel area holds a special place in our hearts. It's all about location, location, location for us....But i really wanted to do Polynesian for my 40th birthday.

Poly/BC is our favorite split stay. Have it booked for July. We usually do AK and MK at Poly and then HS and Epcot at BC with pool days at both.

This is what I have planned as well. The deluxe extra hours at MK happen to be when we are at BC, so we will go there then though

Poly was our regular hotel until we did a split stay Poly/Beach Club, and we were hooked. Illuminations (and now Harmonious) and Fantasmic (please come back!) are our favorite nighttime shows, and you can't beat the short walk "home" from Epcot or the quiet path along the canal from Studios - no packed monorail or long bus lines!

I just managed to snag BC for 3 nights in March so going to do a Poly/BC split! I think it’s the best of both worlds personally.

Both are great! We often do a split between Poly and an Epcot resort either BC,BWI or YC. It’s a great way to experience 2 great resorts and 2 great areas—like 2 trips in one!

The EP area is great especially for dining and EP access and Poly is so relaxing. I think your choices are great and hope you have a great time!
