Poll: Contemporary or Poly and why please?

[Rikerz]

Contemporary Atrium Room (Conceirge Magic Kingdom view) or Polynesian (Magic Kingdom regular room) for our anniversary. Sorry for the repeat post but this one is a poll. Also if there are any travel agents with something "Magical" please email me at jeff@compucreate.net

Thanks all and God bless,

Jeff

You say above (Magic Kingdom regular room). Does that mean you are looking at staying in a Magic Kingdom View room that is non-concierge? That is the same price as a Garden view concierge room at the Polynesian.

If you want a travel agent with “something magical” that take a look at the “Tiki Plan” for your stay at either resort.

Both resorts are getting new rooms and both have the largest standard rooms on property but I prefer the theme and location of the Polynesian. The Polynesian has a much better pool and the transportation is hard to beat. You can walk right to the TTC (Transportation and Ticket Center) next door and get on the monorail to Epcot and the MK is either a monorail ride away or a boat ride away. You still have easy access to the GF and Contemporary to eat or shop from the Polynesian. You also have 3 beaches to relax on.

Good luck with your choice.

Walking to the Magic Kingdom is pretty cool thing to do. I have stayed at the Contemporary a couple times, but only once at Poly. I like the theme of the Poly better, but we don't spend too much time in the room. I like to wake up and look out over the MK, so I would vote CR over PR.

Have fun.:wave:

I think the Polynesian is just a lot more romantic and relaxing.

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

My wife and I agree, we think that the Polynesian is better than the Contmporary. The Poly is more romantic and a much more relaxed atmosphere. We have stared there our last 3 trips. The most recent trip, this past january, we got to stay in one of the newly remodled room.:sohappy:
What a huge change, much better.

good luck in your choice.

I've stayed at the Polynesian 4 times and the Contemporary Concierge twice and if the choice is between the two I would choose the Contemporary Resort.

Both are great and Polynesian is themed better, but that monorail running through the Grand Canyon Concourse just takes my breath away.
I think the shops are better at The Contemporary.
Both have great places to eat but I prefer The Food and Fun Center at the Contemporary Resort over Captain Cooks at The Polynesian.
To me a pool is a pool so I don't prefer one over the other.

If the choice is a reg room at the Polynesian over a Conceirge room at the Contemporary I'll take the Contemorary every time. The free Breakfast buffet (I know...it's not REALLY free)and the snacks during the day are great!

But I'd take Polynesians Conceirge service over the Contermporary if that were the choice.

If you stay at a Polynesian Resort Longhouse that is far from the Great Ceremonial House, and there's a rainstorm, you are going to get wet.
At The Contemporary Resort you are always under a roof or in hallway , protected from bad weather.

Lastly, I prefer The Contemporary Resort over The Polynesian most for this reason: After The Magic Kingdom closes, and the throes of people are flooding out the exit gates, rushing to get on the Boats, busses, or the Monorails, if You stay at the Contemporary Resort, you just avoid all that mess and just take a nice, leisurely, 10 minutes stroll back to your resort.

go to the poly! go up to the tambu lounge and have Walter the bartender make you a drink in a pineapple and then go sit on the beach and watch wishes!

Both are great resorts, but if I had to choose one over the other, it would be the Polynesian. I like the theming & pools better.

Poly hands down. Waaaay more relaxed and romantic. Concierge at the Poly is awesome. Contemporary is noisy in my opinion. The pools at the Poly are also far more spectacular. The transportation at Poly also cant be beat. Yea its nice to be able to walk to MK, but I think boats are cooler. I go to the Poly every chance I get. If you go with the Poly you wont be sorry.
