By all means Id go for it!! I know how you feel about PORS (you're like me with the Poly) but.... you're talking free dining AND a larger room, right?!?!? PORS is always a bus ride away to go visit. :)

I'm not sure that the rooms are larger. But it is certainly a very different experience - the resort is lovely. It is far away from all the parks except AK, but you also feel that you are far away from the crowds, etc.

It also has one of the most beautiful bars on property (IMO) ;)

Alright, Here's how I see it. $147 extra to waste waiting for TS every day, and how much longer are you going to be on the bus? Time is too precious little when you are going in October, and the park hours are short (to me anyway). Stay at PORS.
