    I’m sorry but this just makes me mad. The Grand Flo is already expensive, and even more during Christmas time. To pay all that and not enjoy the resort! No thank you. I stayed at the Poly during the summer and I won’t ever again. It’s a monorail resort so the lobby/Pool is always packed. For me, if I’m paying all that money to stay at these resorts I should be able to enjoy what it has to offer.

    It's very unfortunate people pay a lot of money to stay at these deluxe resorts and can't even enjoy them because of so many people who aren't even staying there. You can stay at a deluxe resort and not even get a reservation at one of the restaurants or find anywhere to just sit and relax in the lobby. It's nice that one can visit the different resorts and see what they have to offer, but on the other hand, for the guests staying there, it is very frustrating. I've seen people just walk into the pool area there who weren't even staying there. They just walked in. The gate wasn't even locked to resort guests only. We stayed in the building directly opposite and I often saw it.

    Question we are planning on going to Disney the first week in December in 2026 “spending 9 days there” and plan on renting dvc point through Dave’s vacation club rentals. What would suggest for a really nice dvc resort? Nothing really expensive, but is big enough for a family of 4 that you can actually can move around in the room without bumping into each.other. I kinda narrow it down to wilderness lodge, Grand Floridian and maybe ft wilderness dvc (when they come, but I am sure those will be very expensive) also the boardwalk. Thank you

      Old Key West is good but I'd try to get close to the hospitality house. Otherwise you could be out far. I'd suggest looking at a map of the resorts to see what's best for you. I own dvc at Saratoga Springs and love it cause it's quieter than other resorts in my opinion. And it's walking distance to walking distance to Disney Springs.
