Anything but the GF. I've been on the monorail too many times totally full before we pulled into that station to pick up people.
I voted for the CR. I love being able to walk back from the MK after the fireworks and not deal with the crowded busses and monorail! But you still have the convenience of being on the monorail to visit the other monorail resorts and to travel to Epcot. Plus the bonus of a boat to WL/FW.
I don't ever see WDW building an "exclusive" DVC Resort on the Monorail line that is gated to members and guests staying there for a few resons. WDW encourages all guests to visit every Resort on property which includes the current DVC Resorts, so that would go against what they tell others to do. Plus having a Resort that is gated does not seem like a WDW thing to do and finally if it's on the Magic Kingdom Resort Monorail line, what would not stop non DVC members from getting off the Monorail to take a look around?I like the idea of an "exclusive" DVC resort on the monorail. Gated and available only to members and guests staying there at the time. No hopping to it. Double the points required for other DVC resorts. I don't think DVC would be willing to take the risk, but I bet it would sell out.
dwelty....my guess is that the desire for CRV is a little stronger than you imagined? Among the GF, CRV and Poly only, it is getting about 37% of the votes at this time.
I must say that I'm a bit surprised by that.
The vote is probably impacted to some degree by the fact that CR is the most "real" of the options. We've all seen the concept artwork and photos of construction at the old North Garden Wing site.
Of course it could be a 2-way street. I wonder how many people are turned-off to the CR based upon a dislike of the concept itself?
Still, I was with Dwelty in thinking that given the option of a monorail resort among the existing ones, CRV would be in last place. No particular reason other than a gut feeling, that apparently was misplaced.
with CR you can walk to the MK.

Polynesian all the way. We love the hotel, the location, taking the launch, monorail or ferry to the MK and making the short walk to the TTC for the Epcot monorail. To visit FW, I prefer the Polynesian over BCV.
We love the restaurant choices on the monorail circuit. It's fun to go to dinner at CG via monorail or Narcoosee's by launch. Or pop over to Main St for a bit of shopping.
The Polynesian seems more immersed in the magic than any other to my family. It seems a world away from the hustle and bustle of the parks and yet you can look across Seven Seas Lagoon and watch Wishes. The Electrical Water Pageant floats in front every night at 9pm just as it has since the PVR opened. Ahhh...the Polynesian.
