I'm going to go against the grain on this one and say go for the Poly. Up until this past year I was usually faced with the same decision whenever traveling and always opted to stay at a budget/value resort. My dream had always been to stay at the CR though. So last year I figured it was finally time to splurge and take my dream vacation. I had to save up for a year, but it was really the best vacation I'd ever taken. Staying at the CR was everything I imagined it would have been and then some. So, if you've always wantd to stay at Poly and never have, I say go for it. It sounds like your not a WDW rookie, so would you really be broken up if you didn't see every attraction or show this time around? Go for the experience and fulfill a dream
