I'd choose Beach Club over Poly, personally. The Poly's common areas are more crowded & hectic because it's on the monorail & everyone wants to dine at Ohana. And they don't scan Magic Bands for access to the Poly volcano pool there like they do at Stormalong Bay. There seems to be a fair number of crashers at its volcano pool (again, easy for people to do as it's on the monorail), as I've never experienced a more crowded WDW resort pool than the Poly volcano pool when we stayed there two years ago. We did a split stay with Yacht Club, and Stormalong Bay was not crowded.We're debating between these same resorts. We stayed at Beach Club last trip and loved everything about it, but we wanted to do something different next time. We definitely want Deluxe. I was shocked to see that Poly (my first choice) is $721/night compared to the rest of the Deluxe options, which are mostly in the $400-500 range. I'm still really far out (November 2018), but I am trying to get an early jump on things. I'm nervous because while I do want a different experience, I'll be sad if it doesn't live up to how amazing Beach Club was for our family. I considered maybe a split stay between Poly and BC, but my husband doesn't really like the idea of moving, even though Disney makes it easy.
That said, my son really wants to try Poly again, so we'll be returning this August. And I do enjoy the convenience of being on the monorail line. But I added a resort day at Beach Club to the trip, too.
