I was *this* close to booking a standard room at Wilderness Lodge, but now I'm considering renting DVC points.
So which would you choose?
Facts: Travel is for end of April 2017. Family of 4, girls will be 5 and 2 1/2 at time of travel.
Option 1: WL standard room for $2560 Keeping in mind the resort is undergoing refurbishments, which from most reports, does not impact stay much. But it is a consideration. I would use a travel agent to do all the FP/dining bookings for me.
Option 2: Deluxe studio villa at Poly for $2528 This would be through DVC rental store. I would do all bookings by myself.
We want to do 5 days at the parks, keeping a day or 2 just to hang back at the resort. We have never been to either resort. In fact, I don't think I've ever stayed on Disney property.
I'm going to be the weirdo and choose WL. Mostly for the fact that you can get a room with 2 beds or a room with 1 bed and bunk beds for the kids. You dont have to mess with a pull out couch and the murphy bed and you get daily housekeeping.
I was at the Poly in December and it was fantastic. They were undergoing refurbishments as well during that time and it wasn't an issue at all. I wouldn't let that sway your decision either way.
