We are planning to go to WDW Feb 2021 and am having a hard time justifying paying 6k for a week’s stay when that could be such a good chunk of money we could pay towards a DVC contract.
I have been to WDW before and love it. We all love Disney and now that I’m finally done with having babies and pregnancies and we are financially stable, we want to go at least every other year. My kids are young (1,4,7) so we have a lot of Disney trips in our future.
At first we were leaning towards AK and CC but after watching many videos of the resort, pool, and rooms we decided CC wasn’t what we’re looking for. Theme is very important to us, as is location and potential resale value. We loved the Poly but ruled it out initially because of only studios but then learned that getting connecting rooms is almost always granted and it went back in the running. Being so close to MK is a huge plus.
Problem is I’ve never been there or to AK.
Has anyone else bought based on gut and videos/pictures/reviews? Did you regret it? Do you think two connecting Poly rooms is sufficient for a family of 5?
The lower dues and monorail access are especially appealing to my husband.
I can’t see myself disappointed in either and know not to get too hung up on room decor since that can change. I love being able to see the fireworks from the beach, the tropical theme, and rum dole whip
I love the peacefulness of AK, the lower initial buy in, laundry in room, and animal theme.
Which would you buy in my position? AK seems easier to get at 7 months (esp 2 bedroom) so that makes me lean towards Poly. I worry demand over studios will make Poly increasingly hard to get at 7 months. We will most likely go Spring or Summer.
Sorry this is ramble-y! I’m on my phone so going back and editing is hard.
