I'm one of the recent somewhat negative posters...
If it is your first visit, there is a "wow" factor that you will get which I think has faded a little for us since we have stayed at the Poly several times but it is not gone completely for us. Also, we park hop and often return to the resort when the parks get hot and crowded; the use of the monorail and boat transportation is a benefit that we really enjoy. I think you will be happy with the Poly but it will be interesting to see if you can get rooms close together.
Our recent visit was just the wife and I. When I've paid for multiple rooms for the rest of the family, I've stuck with moderates or values, (Port Orleans Riverside and POP Century are my favorites in these categories.)
It's not our first visit, but it will be our first time for the littles and the first time staying onsite. With the ages of the kids at the time of the trip, we have to make proximity to transportation a top priority (especially with baby 13 months who will be on a different schedule than the 4 and 5 year olds of the family). Sigh...we have friends with young ones who recently stayed at a value resort (can't remember which one) and they said they ate up a lot of time in bus transportation and waiting for buses. Trying to avoid that - at whatever cost (guess I shouldn't say that!) Also considering the GF but I think the kids will find the Poly theme more entertaining - just got back from Maui with them. Guess I will have to keep reading - still lots of time before May '18.
