I've not stayed at the B.W. and for some reason it just doesn't appeal to me. We're booked at the Poly for June and are looking forward to it as it gets great reviews from lots of posters. There is an advantage to staying in the Epcot area if you planning on spending more time at those parks. As one poster mentioned though, it's a fairly easy monorail ride to Epcot from the Poly. It seems that the Poly has a real tropical decor and is designed to give you the experience of being somewhere other than WDW. There's the beach area and it just seems to be a little more "open". Also, the rooms have just undergone a renovation which is a plus. At either resort you have access to several great restaurants etc. If you really are leaning more towards the Epcot resort area, then I'd look into Y.C./B.C. Stormalong Bay is awesome and you still have great access to Epcot and the Studios. Between those two we've stayed at Y.C. twice and while most posters agree that B.C. has a little more laid back feel, they don't have as many full balconies to the rooms and if having a nice balconey to sit out on is a consideration, then I'd look to the Y.C. Some people seem to make a deal over it being "farther" from Epcot than B.C. It's not that big of a deal, maybe 5 minutes if you're walking. It's right there for the boat launch to both Epcot and the Studios.
