What resort would you pick for a 1 night "splurge" night? (Resort Day-no parks)

[DisSurfer878]

We are currently booked for the July 4th week. We have a bonus night at Yacht club for the actual 4th booked as a splurge/treat. If we rebook, it would be just another Friday night/Saturday on any of other potential dates. We are still interested in BC/YC, but curious about other fun "splurge" options for that final night! We'd hit parks part of Friday, but not Saturday, so being "close" to anything isn't a huge deal either way. We do love to lounge by the pool and are interested in unwinding after a week of Disney. Note: "unwinding" does not mean quiet and solitude, but rather just chilling with a cocktail and being off our feet lol. So have a little fun with me! What's a one night dream splurge??

Hmmmm, that's a tough question. I've stayed at almost every resort on property and there is something to be said for all of them. I'm guessing if it were just one night and I wasn't planning on going to parks, it would be GF. We haven't stayed there in years because we only do MK about 1/2 day and do Epcot and/or HS every single day so we stay at the Dolphin most of the time.

Well the Poly. bungalows would be an awesome one night splurge! But if that’s not doable I would chose AKL Savannah view club or maybe Contemporary theme park View ( I don’t love that pool though).

Bungalows seem amazing.. but a lot for just us two!!

 

[Boopuff]

Copper Creek Cabins. We'd put that deck, water view, fireplace to good use! Let's not forget the cute private plunge pool/hottub.

Definitely a Polynesian bungalow just for the two of us!

A lot of space! I meant

AKL Savannah view.... wake up feeling like you are in Africa

I enjoy the YC/BC pool, but I think if you want a pool with a better atmosphere, I would to with Poly. I just enjoy the theming and the view there a bit more. Or perhaps GF and rent a cabana for a day. We also like the AKL pool - for a splurge, perhaps book CL there (which also comes with a savannah view). If you want a bigger splurge, consider CL or a suite at Poly or CL, main building at GF.

 

[clayfolks]

AKL savannah view would be my choice. Great restaurant options, beautiful lobby, two excellent pools, some of the best CMs on property, and ANIMALS. Who could ask for more?

 

[BridgetBordeaux]

I have a soft spot for Poly.
Never been there.
I would want a MK view so we could see the fireworks and the Electric Water Pageant.
I actually think I would feel more "tropically attached" if I were not in a bungalow.
Poly has great atmosphere.

Beach Club. Stormalong Bay is a wonderful pool with the most hot tubs in Disney World. You can see fireworks from the pool/Boardwalk area, too. You are within walking distance of Fantasia mini-golf, so you could easily do that. There are also rentall boats you could take onto Crescent Lake, and you could rent a surrey bike on the Boardwalk. And in the evening there are sometimes magicians, etc. performing on the Boardwalk. Beaches & Cream has good ice cream and a walk-up window. It's a fabulous resort to stay at in the summer.

Poly is high on the list for us. We LOVE Aulani in Hawaii, so Poly is

 

[VAfamily1998]

Grand Floridian and enjoy listening to the piano/band with a drink!

 

[deckert]

I think I agree with most people and I would pick Poly. The views of MK, the food, the atmosphere, and the pool. Savannah view at AKL is a close second. I have not stayed at either.

GF RPC CL!

 

[OnceUponATime15]

I think for a splurge night I’d want to go with a 1 Bedroom Princess Suite in the Tonga longhouse at the Poly
Full club level access with the perk of complimentary room service - heaven! Views out over the Marina, castle in the distance.. water parade in the evening & MK fireworks! Beautiful grounds.. 2 pools (we prefer the quiet pool) Can do a monorail crawl for drinks in the evening and Lots of great restaurants just a monorail ride away for dinner..
Pineapple Lanai for dole whips (with or without rum). A nice stroll to the GF for Spa services, a great added splurge! Access to the CL lounge all day, check in & check out days...

That would be my last night splurge choice for sure!

 

[merry_nbright]

Mine would definitely be either a Cabin at Copper Creek, Polynesian Bungalow, or the suite in the Grand Floridian with a view of the castle and club level.

If easy access to the park doesn't matter, Four Seasons? If you want it to be a Disney property, I'd agree with others AKL SV makes sense. I personally wouldn't bother with CL until there's some explanation of how CL is going to be impacted, given your travel dates. Ooh - BLT TPV. Ya - look at that if it's available. (Although it would make me want to go to the parks.)

 

[ktink]

YC or BWI would be my picks.
