In your opinion, which resort gives the biggest bang for your buck? I know this will vary from person to person, but I'm interested in hearing everyone's perspective on this.
We've only stayed on site once at the Poly (and we had a 30% pin), so I don't have enough experience to say one way or the other. I need to decide how best to spend my $$ this next go 'round. Thoughts? TIA!
ETA: I'll add our specific wants/needs since several of you asked. I would love to get advice on our specific situation.
-We're planning to do 10 days/9 nights in the middle of june this year. So far there are no codes out or deals. I hear that may change in May, but right now we have to assume we're paying rack rate. It's four of us: two adults, two kids.
-we're driving and actually liked driving to each park last time, so we're not very concerned about transportation.
-because we will be there so long, we can take our time touring the parks (we couldn't last time!) so I expect we'll spend a significant amount of time in the pool at our home resort. So we'd like a pretty good pool. it will be hot out, so this is key.
-our favorite park is DHS. we would not mind being able to walk there. that could be fun. our second favorite park is MK.
-I would love something with good QS food options. The poly had great food, but VERY limited seating at Captain Cook's.
-it would be a bonus to be able to see the fireworks. My kids don't like to be outside for them (too noisy), so in the room view would be cool.
