I think you'd be better at Poly. It is lighter and brighter and better food choices for kids, shorter travel time to MK via monorail. The resort and pools are wonderful. I think there is Not an arcade at Poly. Any more.
My choice would be the Poly, especially for $300 less. We've stayed at both and while we do love AKL, the Poly is our favorite. The tropical grounds are beautiful, the pool is great with a view of the castle while swimming, and MK is just 2 monorail stops away. We also love Captain Cooks for CS meals/snacks, along with a variety of great dining options at the CR and GF. AKL is a beautiful resort as well, but it's hard to beat seeing the castle every day .
I just stayed at both in Feb. AKL is great for the Animals and food choices. Poly has great pool & splash park and proximity. I would choose Poly especially that it is cheaper.
