I've stayed here twice...once in Boca Chica (more recently) and the other time in Sago Cay (awhile ago). I like the Boca Chica building better. It's more centrally located and right next to the boat landing from when you come back from MK. It's also in front of one of the pools (although if you're going in December, you probably won't have much need). You do have to walk around the pool to get to the main building but it's not that bad.

Awhile back, I stayed at Sago Cay with my sister. This building was more out of the way but it was closer to the CS restaurant, which was great for my sister who loved their slushies and nachos. You could also sneak through a walkway attached to the CS that passes by one of the more fancier restaurants (I forget which one) to get to the main building area. My sister and I always got weird looks when we did that (we were still in college at the time) but we saw

Both times we had standard rooms, we could sort of see the fireworks from our Sago Cay room and we had a pool view room from the Boca Chica building (but the other side had a lagoon view/MK view).
