A BC/Poly split sounds wonderful and I do not think you will be disappointed! I just returned from a YC/GF split and ended up at Poly multiple times (Boutiki, Tambu Lounge, Captain Cooks, and a Luau) so I completely understand the obsession! No other resort lobby smells as good to meWe stayed here for my child's first visit in 2012. We love it. I loved visiting it as a child. I do have a split stay booked again (with BC split, to try a new but go back to an old favorite). We just stayed in GF for the first time in 2017. We loved the updated feel and brightness, but still were missing the POLY at heart. We walked over there a few nights just to absorb the resort and eat some Captain Cooks and Dole Whip. So we feel we are drawn to go back this time, although I just worry it will feel even more run down to me (because it did back in 2012 however I know there were a lot of refurbs since we went, Soft goods, Oasis pool, Trader Sams, kids splash area, hot tub etc). I just worry about the rooms. They were SO dusty when we went. I also dislike the bathroom not having separate sinks. But still, I booked. I did look at DVC even though not 2 beds. I started to consider it late last night, that yes, my kid can handle a pull out bed I decided. Then I realized I may get stuck with a crappy view, parking lot view and I decided no way. I already had a pool/marina view booked so I can't chance a DVC room being parking lot view.
I just pray I am not severely turned off by the condition of the room for the price tag. We had WL also on our list, but figured that will be our next stay. So you just affirmed that for me, putting of WL due to a upcoming refurb is good for that reason too.
I last stayed at Poly in March and my room did not feel dusty at all. All the rooms got minor tweaks around 2017 with tv upgrades, ceiling fan removal/light installation, and the addition of some new outlets so that could also help make it feel a little fresher.
