Thank you all for your imput !!!
Both our 1 bedroom WL at HH came through so we had 2 nighst at HH.
3 nights studio at BWV with a pool view.
2 nights VB inn room with ocean view.
1 night studio HH on route home.
Based on the posts I was concerned about the size of the studios for our family. It all worked out just great! My kids are athletes so we are used to our family of 4 in fairly small hotel room, or rooming with other parents/athletes. I always unpack and find living out of furniture saves space vs. living out of multiple suit cases. I did laundry even when not in our room and brought home very little unclean clothes.
The 1 bedroom was wonderful. The kids could watch movies while hubby and I read in the bedroom. Also lost of places for opposite sex children to change with privacy (which we didn't have in any of the studios). I also took advantage of the washer/dryer before our next stop.
BWV view was of the pool and it was great to have a pool view. I could also see the kids walking to/from the community room. Enjoyed the boardwalk for Disney shopping. We didn't actually go to any of the Disney parks but did go to downtown shopping. First time at Disney with our vehicle so we went to SeaWorld.
Vero Beach in one word "AWESOME"!!! Loved watching the sunrise, listening to the ocean while reading The Hunger Games drinking coffee. I could do this every day. Ocean was cold but the kids still went in with a body board riding the waves.
HH on the way back was just disappointing. We had asked for a pool view before checking out. When we checked back in the staff recognized us but not our request. We were hoping to be near the pool, use the hot tub and get breakie in the morning. They were only at 20% capacity and had everyone in the main building.
We have already booked an extra long week-end in May. Me, DD, her friend and my mom. Friend rides horses so we booked SS due to the equestrian theme. Land early in the morning on Thursday and fly out late afternoon on Sunday. Will hit DD's top 2 parks HS & AK and Epcot for Flower & Garden Festival. Friend's name is Daize so we booked breakfast at Tusker house to meet Daisy
.
We are hoping to get a week at Vero the last week of August... just waiting for the 7 month window.
