Thank you - Help me decide :)

Although I've never stayed there, I picked the Poly for you as it is my dream resort. Much prettier than BLT and with the construction for the new villas at GF, I think that it would be quieter (although I'm not sure how long that will be going on for).

Have a great time with your daughter!

As you will see by my signature we tried the Poly and keep going back. My DS now 10 loves it. I like the small buildings as opposed to a large hotel. We never intended to stay Club Level our first time there. We wanted to stay @ Poly for location since DS was younger for same reason as you and ended up in Club Level due to availability. We found the lounge & offerings extremely convenient & DS enjoyed watching tv while eating & seeing fireworks from his own bed. Zero entry pool is awesome for little ones. My boy says the GF is nice, a good place to visit but he recommends the Poly!

I'd go with the Poly. We went when my niece was just slightly older than your daughter, and she loved the atmosphere, tiki torches, pool, and the view of the MK from across the lake.

When my mom and I stayed at the GF, there was a convention going on and neither of us enjoyed it. It had a definite "conference" feel. There were people doing business on their cell phones by the pool and in the lobby - just didn't feel very Disney to us.

And, as mentioned above, the Poly is a great choice for transportation. You're on the monorail line for MK and it's just a short walk to the TTC to catch the monorail to Epcot. You only need a bus for two parks instead of three.
