Questions about Deluxe Choices-~~~HELP~~~ THANKS!

[FairyDust2008]

We are now down to AKL savannah view bunkbed, Beach Club standard, Yacht Club standard and the Poly garden view for our deluxe choices. We still have POFQ in our pocket if we decide to go moderate but have more deluxe choices to weed through. I still LUV the theming of all these so that is why I'm having a tough time deciding. I know the AKL doesn't share transportation but how long does it take to get to MK, EPCOT, etc? The Beach Club doesn't have full balconies from what I gather, although I luv the theming and ds LUVS the pool. The Yacht Club is dd fav and another one of mine too. Does the Yacht Club have full balconies for all rooms including standard? We love the pool here because it is so HUGE and the beaches and cream, etc. Lastly, the Poly we just adore as well with the theming and from pics I've seen of the garden views, they are pretty sweet. The monorail is there, etc. The Epcot area resorts, Beach Club and Yacht Club, how far are they from MK, etc? How long of a bus ride? Thanks for everybodys help. It has been VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! This board is sooooooooooooooo AWESOME

Beach club does have many rooms with full balconies, they just have the small ones too. We always request a full balcony with no problems. All the Yacht club rooms have full balconies. I've never had more than a 20 minute wait for any bus when I've stayed at either resort. I can't remember how long the trip took, I don't think I paid attention once on the bus. You've got some great choices.

We stayed at AKL savannah and LOVED it, truely like nothing else we've done before! We've done plenty of beach and island type vacations various places but the savannah with the sunrising/sunsetting was magnificient. There is so much to do at the resort my kids had to be dragged out to the parks and couldn't wait to get back to resort at night! I vote for that one for you!!!!Let us know your choice!!

We have stayed Poly GV and YC standard from your list of choices. I personally don't think the YC/BC theming is that different. I did have a full balcony at YC and from my observation all of the YC rooms had full balconies. I would NOT be happy with one of those little standing room only balconies, and DH loves to sit on the balcony, which was another reason we chose YC over BC. We had a nice room overlooking the wedding gazebo. You may want to ask to be closer to the elevator if you choose either resort.
We never had more than a 10-15 minute wait for MK busses at YC, but if MK is your priority you may want to choose the Poly. YC is awesome for Epcot and the studios. On the other hand, at the Poly we have had to wait 20 plus minutes for busses to TL, MGM or AK.
When we had our garden view Poly room, we asked for Samoa or Fiji, since it seemed like everyone on this board gets their request. Of course we didn't. We had rarotonga (sp?) and it ended up fine, but if we had been facing the other way we would have been looking toward the parking lot. As it was we had a distant view of the quiet pool. So don't be fooled by everyone saying they get Fiji or Samoa if you choose the Poly!
If it means anything, we have chosen to return to the YC for our trip in March. But, our kids are older and there is more "going on" there for them even if we don't do parks--the boardwalk, the pool, etc. When they were younger they were happy with the ladybug release and the hula lessons (if they even still offer them--when we were there our girls were the only two guests taking advantage of the offer) at the Poly and the MK access can't be beat. We'll still do MK the day we arrive and one other day, as it's my favorite and I plan the trip but it's not the family priority anymore.
