I have stayed at both Poly Sept. 02 and WL Nov. 03. Poly is my personal favorite but I also loved the WL. So, if budget is the primary concern I would say go with WL. One bit of advice about the WL is to ask for a room that is not in the main main part of the building. We were in a Woods view room on the 5th floor ( I think??) over the check in desk and the noise from the Whispering Canyon was extremely loud! We also paid extra for the Woods view and our view was roof tops with some trees way out in the distance... not worth the extra $$ IMHO.
Both resorts are beautiful and have fun pools and great food choices! The Poly rooms are larger and I like the bathroom areas better because the vanity/sink is closed off from the room... a nice feature if an early riser wants to get ready / run a hair dryer without waking the others. The WL rooms are just enough space and a good value for the money but don't offer the closed off vanity/sink area.
As for the convenience issues... You can't beat the convenience of the Poly! Monorail or boat service and the walkway to TTC are reason enough to cough up the extra $$ for a short trip! The WL is also convenient with the boat to MK which makes the more affordable option appealing.
One way to look at is maybe you should work your way up... stay at the WL first and graduate to the Poly on a futre trip. Once you've tasted the convenience of the Poly it's hard not to be a tiny bit negative when you stay at other resorts.
Good luck deciding. Both choices are wonderful and I'm sure you'll be happy with eiter.
