First thank you all for putting up with all my questions about the Polynesian - today is a week post our vacation and other than some issues I had (nothing Poly or Disney did/didn't do) it was as awesome as I had hoped it would be. Coming from the Contemporary I just can't see us going back there. The Poly has such a tropical atmosphere and even on the hottest of days poolside, I still felt the breeze. So we'll for SURE be back. Just not sure if we benefited from the club service though so will likely just go with a lagoon or TPV room.
With that said, because of some issues I had we had to cut quite a few park days in half and felt like we missed on things we wanted to do so we booked a 3 night trip over Christmas and hoping for some advice and WWYD.
Day 1 we arrive Friday 12/22 in MCO @ 10:45 a.m., booked tickets for the last Christmas party of the year and will stay at the Contemporary for the one night so we can walk back to the resort rather than wait for Disney transportation since by then we'll likely be beyond exhausted and waiting in an hour+ long bus line wouldn't be fun.
Day 2 (Saturday) we're checking out of Contemporary and checking into the Boardwalk Inn for 2 nights because its just been that resort that's peaked my curiosity for one of our future 10 day stays. This is where I ask you Boardwalk/CL gurus what to do. We're currently booked for a standard view, will spend all day Saturday at the resort just checking out the Boardwalk area and swimming (if not too cold). Sunday we'll be at DHS likely for the majority of the day, then we check out and return home early Monday morning (DME will be like 8:30 a.m.). Would we get any benefit from CL? I heard its one of the best CLs food wise, but wondering if there's any other benefit I'm missing or not thinking of -- or think it will be a waste of $$ on an already pretty tight budget?
Thanks
