I have only stayed at BWV of the two and it was so nice to be able to walk to Epcot! Pool was great and we had a refurb studio which was very nice.

They are both great resorts. Each person is different and has different tastes, so only you will know what you will prefer.

One thing with PVB is there is a reasonable chance the East pool will still be under construction. We vowed not to return until fall 2016 because we wanted to avoid the construction a second time.

I really like them both, but do prefer the layout and size of the Poly studios. Hope to stay there next September!

The Epcot Flower and Garden festival will be going on in April--if you plan to go to that often, I'd pick BWV as you can walk to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios from there. (BWV is our favorite, but we haven't stayed at Poly yet, so I can't compare the resorts.)

I would (and did) pick Boardwalk Villas for the easy walk or boat ride to Epcot.

can you do a split stay? Stay at the Poly for your MK days and then BWV for Epcot and HS days

We're staying at Poly in Feb and BWV in April. I didn't even think about the Flower & Garden festival! April was going to be a HS only trip, but now I'm going to have to add in a day at Epcot for sure!

Only been stayed at Poly once, love the theming and the restaurants. BWV, several stays there. Here is how I would personally address the place to stay
Poly...proximity to MK, 2 stop ride to Epcot, walk to TTC, close proximity to other resorts(more restaurants to choose from)
BWV...2 parks in walking distance, a few good restaurants in walking distance
Overall, BWV would be the draw for me, nothing against Poly, just a few more amenities at BWV and surrounding area
