I think the vote is about even. I haven't stayed in any of them. But I like the water taxi idea a lot.

How long are you staying for what about splitting your stay between two places
That's what we decided to do for our May 2009 stay the Poly and BC for us. Good luck with your decision.

As the Beach Club is our favourite, I have to go for that. Stormalong Bay is amazing - it's like having your own mini water park on your doorstep and the BoardWalk is only a few minutes walk away, so you can head over there in the evening and check out the entertainers.

Hmmm....5 people and 2 bathrooms??? Definitely CSR.....not to mention $300 less!!

I liked walking to Epcot from BC. Kid wise our Grandkids were younger and ready for bed so we didnt really do any activities at the resort with them aside from swimming. You can take advantage of the bus instead of using your car. When my Dad took us on trips we just parked the van and used the bus system so much easier. Have a wonderful time which ever resort you pick. Hubby always says you just sleep there anyway so it doesnt matter but then we have been there lots, and lots of times.

Any would be great really. Depends on what you are looking for.

BC and BW are in walking distance to EPCOT and so you could easily get there and then take the Monorail to MK which is very convenient. The pool at BC looks fun and there is so much activity on the grounds of BC/BW so there is lots to do for breaks, and being so close it is easire to take breaks outside of parks.

CSR is a very nice place to stay, the pools are really big, we love the quiet pools there, saving money is good and you can use it for other fun at the world to celebrate. The theming on the grounds (and somewhat inside the actual rooms)is really something to see, there are 3 very different sections. We have stayed there twice and really loved it for sure. The Pepper Market is a different sort of restaurant with lots of stations and good food.

Good luck with your choice...you really can't go wrong with any of your choices!

I would vote for the Beach Club!!! We stayed there in Dec. of 2006 and simply loved it. I wear a Beach Club t-shirt to bed sometimes, and DS (now 7) always says how much he loved it there. Awww! The Beach Club is wonderful, and I think that you'll love the light, airy, friendly and fun atmosphere there. And don't forget about Stormalong Bay. It's a dream pool - the kids gave it high marks and we had trouble getting them out of it! Happy planning!

Thanks for all the replies. They were all very helpful! I decided on the Beach Club but now DH brought up the prospect of a monorail resort. ARGGHHHHH! So expect to see another post from me regarding resorts.

Our first on-site stay was at Coronado Springs and we loved it! My kids really loved the pool and food court. The grounds are lovely and bus service is the best of any the resorts we've stayed at. They don't share the bus with any other resort and there are lots of stops around the resort.

We have also stayed at BC (BWV's coming up in October) and I think if I stayed at BC first, I would get spoiled and not want to stay at anything other than a deluxe, which could get pretty expensive eventually. BC has the best pool ever but our room was very small. We only had a room with 2 double beds. I didn't realize until a year after we stayed there that most of the rooms have two beds plus a sofa bed. We enjoyed walking to Epcot. However, the bus service wasn't the greatest and we had to share it with YC. The buses at BC were always crowded and somewhat slow.

Have fun choosing!

So far, CSR has been our least favorite. It was too big especially for tired kids feet at the end of the day. I would vote for BWI. I haven't stayed there but have visited and it was nice. I saw clowns making balloon animals and a magician that night on the Boardwalk as well.

i love BW because it is our home resort with DVC . community hall has diferent things for kids to do . and unlike bc you do not have to leave pool area for them to use the slide . good luck on choosing with all these great response.

If you go BC, you might want to go BC Villas to get the kitchenette. But if DH is now thinking monorail resort, that would work best for MK/EPCOT. Sometimes taking the bus to MK from BC is time consuming. The Poly seems handy as you can walk to the TTA to catch the monorail to EPCOT, as well as ride the monorail to TTA. You get 2 options. (You have to switch monorails at the TTA to go to EPCOT no matter what.)

It sounds like most people are voting for beach club. I am going to the beach club in April and my travel agent recommended it because of the pool. I have only heard good things so far. I am so excited!
