BCV or BWV?

[madelyn]

We have a 2 bedroom standard view at the Boardwalk in late May. Occupants will be my family (kids 13, 10 and 5) and my adult sister. We have a short split stay on-site before moving to an off-site Marriott condo. Split stay is 2 nts BW followed by 2 nts BLT. Noticed this morning that for the first 2 nights there is now availability in a 2 bedroom (not the 2 queen bed configuration) at the Beach Club. The 2 nights would cost 10 points more total over BW standard view. I know the parking and pool is better at the Beach Club. DH and I have stayed at the Beach Club before (hotel park) but have not stayed at the Boardwalk although we have stayed at the Dolphin. Should we switch the reservation or stick w/ what we have? 5 year old daughter does like the Community Hall offerings and I figure that might be better at BW? We do plan to get the dining plan for those 2 nights.

BCV pool with 3 kids in late May could be a huge benefit. Could be hot. However, it's a short stay. I would say it depends on what you plan on doing those days, if you are going to be out and about at parks for all or most of the time, then it probably doesn't matter. If you plan to spend a day or more around the resort I would go with BCV b/c you can use the BWV facilities (pool, community hall, etc...) as a guest of BCV, but cannot use the BCV pool as a guest of BWV.

Anyone know how late the BC stays open? 10p? We will arrive late our check-in night so won't be able to visit any parks the arrival day.
