Need help deciding on which hotel to stay at first
On our upcoming trip we will be staying at the Polynesian for five nights and Pop for 3 nights. I just don't know which order we should do them and need some advice since we've never stayed st each

I would definitely say stay at POP first. Not only will you only be there for three days, so you won't get too settled, you will also be upgrading when you switch over to the Polynesian!!

I agree, stay at Pop first so you feel like you are getting a treat when you switch over to Deluxe......

I think the other posters are right on track. Once you've been to Poly, I'd think Pop would be a letdown. In reverse, I think it would be the perfect build-up. I'm sure Pop is good in its own way, in fact we might stay there next trip, but there's no comparison to Poly.

I agree with everyone else. POP first. It's a fine place but if you went there AFTER the Polynesian, I think it would be a let down.

Definitely Pop first. My sister and I booked WL and Pop with WL on the first part of the trip. When the day before we were to leave WL arrived, we couldn't bear the thought to leave and move to Pop. I called and got our WL reservation extended and got to keep the same room! WL cost more than Pop but it was worth it!

I couldn't even imagine how I would feel if I went from Poly to POP. POP is nice but after staying at a Deluxe then at a Value may be tough.

Same here. Pop first then Poly. This situation happened to us when we went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. Stayed at a beautiful hotel on Maui then went to Oahu to a not to beautiful hotel. Very disappointing.

I agee with staying at Pop first. We have done similar to this on several trips and always stay at the value or moderate first and then move up to the moderate or deluxe. Mom's first Disney resort was Pop and she loved it. Then we went to the Contemporary and she was not as impressed with Pop. After staying at the Poly it is hard to leave for anywhere else!

as everyone else has said do POP before Poly.
You would be very disappointed the other way around. After having the monorail at your doorway, it would be a huge let down waiting for buses to go anywhere

Thank you everyone, after reading all the posts you all made my decision real easy. Thank you

I must ask, just out of curiosity: Why the disparity between the two different accommodations? If the Polynesian is a priority (and you can clearly afford it), why drop down to a value resort?
It sounds like there is a good reason why...I just can't figure it out.

I have to throw my two cents in and say I love Pop way more than I do the Poly. I would look at which days you will be closer to which parks and decide that way. It would make more sense to stay at the Poly on the days you'll be going to MK or Epcot.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I'd say go with Pop first then the Poly to end your trip. My family tends to hit the parks pretty hard the first few days. We then tend to spend more time at the resort towards the end of our vacations. I know we'd rather spend time at the Poly so I'd choose that for our "relaxing" at the end of the trip. Plus as others have already stated, Pop would be a huge letdown for us after being at the Poly for 5 nights.
