AoA will give you separate sleeping space so even after the little ones have crashed you can watch TV, relax and shower etc without waking them. Food court wise at AoA you have their food court and the one at Pop just over the bridge, the options are quite different certainly when compared to the different all stars for example. The Mara at AKL is ok but nothing to rave about however you do have restaurants which are nice and have a good variety of food. Given the age of the children the AoA theming may suit them better, especially if they really like one of the films an area is based on. Buses at AKL were not fantastic when we stayed there but others have had very different experiences. Can't help with driving much as we don't usually hire a car, especially now there are parking fees which quickly add up. There is something lovely about the AKL but for location and space AoA would win for me. Does free dining impact your choices? as losing this could be a deal breaker.
