    I would choose the Grand Floridian for the 4 days/3 nights and then add on by booking an extra 5 day/4 nights at the Wilderness Lodge! Second choice would be the Polynesian.

    I chose Poly, because we've never been able to stay there. We always choose more time at WDW rather than a more luxurious resort for the same money. (you can stay 30 days at a value for the cost of one week at Poly)
    . . . So, if you made the deal 10 nights at a value vs. 3 nights at a deluxe, I'd probably choose the value resort again.

    Have always wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian and thanks to the 30% bounceback offer we will be there the first week in December.

    Given the economy these days, i'll take any trip at any disney property for any amount of days. I was there this past December/January and am hoping to go back next summer ( early june to early august). Any tips on when to find the best deals for that time frame would be great.

    Default Best of Both Worlds and WD World !!

    We're staying at WL arriving in 10 days. I live in the UK and will be staying for 2 weeks with my family in the magic.

    If it were me then I'd go for the extra days as it's such big trip for us with travelling etc.

    You could have the best of both worlds and go for a deluxe, not as expensive as your choices, say AKL or WL and extend your stay to 5 or 6 nights or how ever many nights your budget stretches too.

    Whatever your decision I hope you have a great time.

    I would go for the time at POP.
    We've only stayed deluxes. Resort time is as important to us as park time.
    But., I love the idea of trying POP, all expensives paid. We stopped by there once on Magical Express and my kids have been begging to stay there ever since. I really do wonder how different a stay at POP would be from our deluxe stays. My DH wants no part of it. He thinks the values seem chaotic and motelish. So, if given a choice, I'd try the POP just for fun. It would be a new experience I'd like to have.

    I haven't stayed at the Grand Floridian before, so that's my choice.

    I chose the Poly because I have only visited there and not been able to stay. It is a beautiful resort and so close to MK. Also being on the monorail has it's plusses. But over all, I would almost go 5 nights 6 days at the Beach Club, even paying out of pocket. It is my home away from home.

    This was a tough call. I was torn between staying less time at the Poly, or more time at Pop. In the end, I chose Poly because I've always wanted to stay there!

    I'd still go with the longer vacation hands down. The more time in Disney the better. 3 nights would be a tease, we'd never get to actually do anything.

    I choose Poly since I could never afford the rates here anymore and would love to stay on the monorail line. GF is not my style nor is Contempory. It is not the length of stay it is the quality of the style you want to feel.

    Cool

    I would return 'home', to the POLY.
    Since this would be an unexpected trip, I would want to enjoy it at my favorite resort.

    It'd take the Poly and add on 3 more paid nights to the trip!
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    Cool

    I didn't even have to think about this one. I take ANY of the value resorts. I voted for Pop, probaby because that's where I'm staying next month, but I'd choose ANY of the value resorts in a heartbeat.

    The reality is, I have no desire to stay at the GF, it's a bit to, shall we say "proper" for me. I'm much more relaxed at the Value Resorts.

    So yeah, I'd much rather have a longer stay.
