Poly in a standard room or AKL in a Savanna view room?

We have stayed at both. For a new experience, AKL with Savanna view would be our recommendation.2 adults.

Good point on the timing. I would not stay at the Poly without the monorail station and with all of the construction going on right now.Save AKL for when everything is open and more of the activities are back. I doubt that will be this year, so it all depends when this trip is going to be.
From at least a couple of the DVC long houses, the TTC is as close as the Poly monorail station. From trip reports the Ceremonial House isn’t particularly affected, it’s just Ohana and a couple other places are closed. Both pools are open and quiet, since only the DVC rooms are open.Good point on the timing.

THIS!!! We've stayed at both and loved both, but would also give Poly a slight edge due to the transportation.That's tough...done both and each have pros.
Our last standard view at the Poly looked out on a bunch of foliage with some glimpses of the monorail beam. I really enjoyed that view. We were also right next to the GCH so we never had to go far. If all transportation is up and running and all restaurants are open, it also has some nice convenience factors...not to mention views of fireworks EWP when they are going.
Having a savanna view at AKL is also great. The rooms are noticeably smaller than the Poly's, but you can't beat relaxing on your balcony and looking at the animals. When all of the restaurants are open, having Boma, Jiko, and Sanaa is nice as well. Convenience is the only knock on AKL. We've had relatively good bus service, but it's all bus service, and when it's not running well...we've had some longer waits.
If all things are running as normal, I'd give the nod to the Poly.

There are the DVC rooms open at Jambo, including some savanna views. Kidani would probably be better for first timers at AKL.Poly is closed except for DVC villas during construction. AKL Jambo House is closed. I believe the Savanna rooms are in Kidani village. I would do that. One day I will, when I can afford it.

Actually Poly is open... not just DVC.
I'm aware that AKL is just DVC currently.
I'm not looking to book right now. Was just looking for opinions in general not necessarily Covid times specific.
Most of Poly is closed with the exception being DVC.
Reopening of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort delayed until summer 2021 along with changes to the resort
Changes to the Great Ceremonial House and guest room are planned during the lengthy closure of the resort and will include details, patterns and textures from Disney's "Moana."www.wdwmagic.com
Wouldn’t that depend on the timefrane?Given what was available in September and December, I would recommend the Polynesian over Animal Kingdom right now.
Kona Cafe, Captain Cooks, Tambu Lounge, and Captain Cooks' for Food, Bou tiki, and Moana Merchatile for shopping are open.
ALK however has very little open and its quite a haul to get anything else.
