This post is especially for JoanneNC!
Listen, when we first started staying at the Poly we had garden rooms and they're great! Don't worry! All the rooms are the same and the views are all tropical ... well, all the rooms we had anyway.
Below are a few pics of the last Garden View we stayed at:

We had the top corner room and although you think it would be a pretty mundane view it was really great! The trees kind of closed in the view and all you could see was lush greenery! And, AND! If you look at the top of the 3rd picture you can see the monorail track ... from our room we could see the monorail running through! It was really great! GOD! I wish I could find the pics I took from the balcony!
Something else that was like a little added touch ... since we were facing away from both the pool and lagoon we couldn't get the chlorine or water smell ... INSTEAD we had the very sweet smell of the orange flowers you can see in the second pic ... OMG ... it was great!
Bottom line, I really believe that a room is what you make it! I mean you can pick out every little imperfection or just enjoy it for what it is! The Poly is the BEST Disney Hotel I.M.H.O. and we've stayed at quite a few Diz Hotels. Poly has a great theme/setting ... you're so close to the park that you really feel like you in the center of the Magic, and the Poly offers the FRIENDLIEST OF ALL THE DISNEY STAFF!!!
ALOHA CUZ!
Have a magical day everyone!
