I was concerned about our upcoming CL stay after reading some of the experiences posted on here several weeks ago, and many folks were kind enough to chime in with helpful advice. In case you didn't see it, because it's easy to miss stuff in these mega-threads, my original question is
here, and then there are quite a few responses that may provide you with additional insight!
For what it's worth, we had been booked at BC CL, and we ultimately ended up switching to GF SL for our trip next month. Yeah it's not RPC, but we're pretty excited about it! My husband and kids have only visited GF and haven't stayed there, and I haven't stayed there since the 25th anniversary celebration (unpopular opinion, but I actually loved the castle decorated as a giant birthday cake!), so it will basically be a new experience for all of us. We also ended up planning a lot of park time at MK, and my husband LOVES that boat to/from MK, so part of why we switched was because an MK area resort just made the most sense for this particular trip. Plus we get the benefit of a lovely stroll along the lagoon to the Poly if we get a craving for dole whip/coconut curry meatballs/pulled pork nachos/Lapu Lapus, but without having to pay Poly CL prices or deal with the CL lounge crowds.
I don't think there are many recent SL reviews, so I'm planning on taking photos and posting here to make sure there's some updated info. At least one other DISer on this thread will be in SL overlapping with my family's trip dates, so hopefully your next trip is far enough out that our experiences will help you make a decision!
