Which one to choose Boardwalk, Poly or WL?

This is our second trip to WDW and last one was 2010. Our boys are 16 and 13. Would like to stay somewhere that transportation and proximity to parks is good. We will be going 6-15 to 6-22 so will also be spending time at pool. The only option at BWI is a deluxe studio and at Poly and WL standard. Would love some pros and cons of those resorts. Thank you

If proximity & transportation is a priority then I would not stay at WL, yes they have the boat to MK, but they share buses with FtWilderness, Poly, or GF which I found took longer than the moderates with several stops.

I don't think you can beat the location of the Epcot resorts for park proximity. Are your boys into Star Wars? The Star Wars activities at HS are great, and an easy walk or boat ride from BWI, as well as easy walk to international gateway for Epcot. Then you're only bussing or driving to 2 parks. There's also a lot to do on the BW that your boys may enjoy. If you'll be spending a lot of time at MK, then I would stay at Poly.

I have never stayed at WL or BW but have stayed and LOVE the Poly!!! I would definitely stay there again if I could.

We prefer the boardwalk and I suspect your boys would like easy access to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. That said, the room at the Poly will be the largest of the three so if space with two teens is a factor, that's a very good option, too. Personally, my boys (who are a bit younger than yours) sort of outgrew Magic Kingdom and spend most of their park time in Epcot and HS, so we switched from staying at MK resorts a year or two ago. We LOVE the boardwalk but usually stay in a standard room on the inn side.
