We were on theDream, stateroom 6150. We really liked having the verandah. We had 4 people in the room--me, husband, and 2 sons ages 17 and 22. Both boys are over 6' but were comfortable on the fold out sofa and pull down bunk. It did get a little tight moving around the foot of the bed--necessary to get from couch/verandah area to bathroom/door, but we managed fine. Movement and noise were not an issue. We could hear some noise and feel it a little when pulling into port. Had a great view of Nassau when other cruise ships not docked. Fair view of Castaway Cay. Positioned above the aft gangway. Didn't mind aft but prefer mid. I would not be upset to be assigned this cabin again. Easy to get to main dining rooms, Cabanas, shows, etc.
Pros:
Verandah, split bathroomCons:

We dined at 'Ohana on May 11th. This was our third time to eat there. The first time was wonderful but there was a wedding party during the second visit and our service was terrible. Our dinner on the 11th was wonderful. The food was delicious and we had an excellent waitress. My favorites were the pot stickers and dessert, but everything was great. We are already planning a December trip and this will be the first reservation we will make.
Pros:
The food was delicious and the service was excellentCons:

My wife and I did this on 5/22/13. Lots of walking but a lunch break was great. Jessica from Golden Co. was the best. Knows her history and adds great side stories. Worth the effort to learn some secrets and see the "show"

My husband and I were staying at the Beach Club May 9-14. This place is so convenient to get a nice breakfast. We both got the buffet. Everything was full, fresh,and hot or cold, respectively. The only negative for us was the absence of any plain breads for toasting. No white, no wheat, no bagels, no english muffins. We did miss that option. While the buffet is good, it does keep going up in price. I don't eat enough to warrant that price. I think next visit I will order a plated meal off the menu.
Pros:
Quiet, convenient, easy to get a tableCons:

My mother typically is diabetic and eats mainly vegan. We ate here 4 times during our stay. Lots of fresh & healthy options that everyone in the family enjoyed. A lot of the entrees were far better than the majority of sit down restaurants.

We visited May 4-11 2013 in celebration of our anniversary. We found the cast members to be very welcoming and hospitable, always greeting us when we entered or exited the building. When cast member Holli discovered we had not been given real flower leis for our anniversary, she had two custom-made for us and personally delivered them.
The new room decor is lighter and more contemporary. The beds are very comfortable! The bathroom has been reconfigured and now has two sinks and illuminated mirrors. The bath tile is beige(no more dark green)and the soap does not stick to it (definite improvement!)
Our mousekeeper kept us well stocked with towels and amenities. We received four different towel animals during our stay. Nightly turn-down service always included plenty of chocolates.
Continental breakfast offerings were very similar each morning as were the afternoon snacks. Evening appetizers changed daily and there was a nice variety of beers, wine and cordials.
The two-story lounge has stellar views of the beach, Magic Kingdom, fireworks and Electrical Water Pageant.
Our club level experience would have been a perfect 10 if not for the behavior of unsupervised or undisciplined children running and yelling in the halls and on the stairs; touching the food with their hands and taking more than they could possibly eat; intentionally messing up the tables; and being rude to the food servers. I had read similar complaints before of unruly children in the Poly lounge, but didn't believe it until we experienced it.
Since we are WDW vets and do our own trip planning, we did not utilize the concierge services available to us. The upcharge for staying club level is worth it for a special occasion, but we will go back to being "regular" Poly guests.
Pros:
Newly refurbished rooms; location and viewsCons:

Stayed in DVC timeshare - everything was great - only con was really crowded pool area - not much room to walk around - pool chairs bump up close to pool's edge -
Maintenance did enter our room while we were out to do some type of repair (not requested by us) and left all the curtains open, etc. (we were on ground floor - anyone could walk by & see our belongings) - Upon returning we immediately noticed that someone had been in the room - complained to management & they were very apologetic - overall very nice hotel - would stay her again
Pros:
good rooms + restaurants+ proximity to EpcotCons:

If traveling without children, would not recommend this plan. We spent less money dining freely wherever we wanted and didn't have to worry about using dining credits on meals/snacks that we didn't really want, but were obligated to use points. Refillable mug has gotten smaller over the years and became more of a hassle to walk from pool to beverage area to fill up.

Always eat here when @ WDW - good value on quick service plan - only complaint is lack of seating to accommodate large crowds - becomes a competition to get seating - not a fan of being stalked by other guests waiting for us to leave our table -
