Where should we stay?!?

[CowGirlJessie]

My family and I are starting to plan our vacation for next summer, and we keep arguing about where we all want to stay. We are DVC members, and we always stay at Old Key West for a week. But every time we come we also stay at a different hotel on property just to see what it's like there. My mother wants to stay at either the New Beach Villas or the Disney Institute Villas. I kind of want to stay at the Polynesian. I'm sure that my sister, her fiance, and my dad all have different opinions too. We all agree we want to stay somewhere that we've never stayed before. Where would you suggest to stay on property and why? What is your favorite place?

Here is the list of places we have ALREADY stayed.
Old Key West
Boardwalk
Coronado
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Port Orleans (before it changed....)
Caribbean Beach

Jessie, out of the two that you posted, i would go with the Beach Club (i'll be staying there this Thanksgiving, and i can't wait) but as others have said, definately look into staying at Wilderness Lodge! it's gorgeous!!

I think if you guys wanted to stay at the wildernes lodge the cheapest thing would be to stay at Wilderness Lodge Villas. I just looked and the bedroom vacation home is a lot like OKW two bedroom vacation home.

I noticed you have never stayed on the monorail. Points notwithstanding, there's no doubt that you should stay in one of the monorail hotels. Polynesian is the best for your money. Hopefully there will be a good discount code for next summer and you won't have to waste points on it. Just pay for it.

Being able to get to MK and Epcot by monorail without getting on a bus lets you see Disney World in a totally different way -- the way Disney himself wanted you to see it. If you aren't able to stay on the monorail next summer, plan to do it another time. You won't be sorry.

Thanks for all your input!!! I talked to my dad last night, and we are still trying to figure out where else to stay. We are definately doing OKW for a week, Vero Beach for a few days, and then one more place. The problem is our points. We used tons of points last time because we went on the Disney Cruise, plus stayed at OKW, Boardwalk, and AKL, and used our points to do so.
We just have to be wise about using our points and all that. Plus we are spoiled now and are used to having the luxuary of the kitchen at OKW and all, so we are probably going to end up in the villas at Wilderness Lodge or the new Beach Villas.
Anyway, yes FanofDisney81 and I are sisters.
