Depend on type of room and whether kids happy sharing a sofa bed if picking a 1 bedroom. My kids don't like it but did it at the age yours are. 1 beds in beach club and BWV only have 4 sleeping surfaces. If you are getting a 1 bed and kids would like their own beds I'd go for Animal Kingdom (Avatar) or Bay Lake Tower (MK 5 min walk) and both have that extra sleep surface. If in studio or they are happy sharing BWV, BCV, BLT, POLY in fact any you cannot go wrong.

For points value, it's Jambo or Kidani all the way. It doesn't take that long to get to MK by bus, either.

For location BLT is the best, but it's not cheap.

We've stayed at OKW (another cheap one), BLT, Kidani and Jambo. This year we're going back to OKW and BLT. We're looking forward to walking back to BLT after our MNSSHP.

When we stayed at BC we thought we'd use the main pool all the time. But we didn't, the kids preferred the quiet pool ... easier to play games there. We felt able to let them go together as we had a balcony which overlooked the quiet pool.

I'd choose a resort with balcony view of fireworks.

We'd like a balcony for sure. I've had a little price comparison with booking direct and ddp for the four nights. It's still much cheaper renting points isn't it. Can you add a dining plan if renting points? Thanks

Yes, but it's almost never worthwhile. You have to get the member to add it, and you can only pay in dollars; at the current exchange rate the price is hair raising.

Savanna view at AKL (either building), its a world away from anything else on property.

When ours were little it was the Beach Club for us. Great location and even better pool. Mind you they're all grown up and it's still their resort of choice.

I must admit it does look amazing.
