Step!! I literally just popped in since it's been awhile. ONCE A CHANGER ALWAYS A CHANGER
Remember Poly has some construction happening, I think CR too, but for the Poly it's all about the outdoor vibe sooooo. We stayed at CR this past December and loved it. But the Poly ahhhhhhhh. I am no help, but for summer, I do love that Poly vibe. You've probably ch-ch-changed back and forth right
Next trip for us is December for DDnow 16 (baby#4) when the HS plays at Disney and we scored WL! Looking fall trip of course.
Great point on the CR TPV also the Bay Lake area is very chill!!
It is ALL about the mimosas, nice score!! A very wise change
Good luck with the deals!! Disney prices have gotten insane. A MK/Epcot resort split is the dream, but I really loved DS my past visit and the boat from POR is SO much better than the buses!!
So wow super split stay! My youngest is autistic (now 13), let me tell you. CL is his vibe! The extra space with a chance to chill and have a snack is invaluable. Also the CL staff is top notch with special needs IMO. Most of CL have a close bathroom in or near the lounge. I can't remember WLs is but BWI is right outside the lounge. String cheese I haven't seen but you can stock up in the lobby gift shop or
amazon. Of course you could always ask! Bananas and apples are always out. My other thought is that's a lot of moving, how are your littles with that, mine not so good. I completely understand the cost consideration and the express pass is worth the room rate plus HRH rocks! Maybe a 5/5 WDW split instead of a 3 resort split? Again, you know your kiddos but it is a lot of moving rooms! Happy planning!
