AKL or OKW?

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

I need help, the majority of our stay is offsite at Vistana Villages but the last three nites we will stay on site.. We 've stayed at AKL and loved it however we have since had another baby and I'm concerned about the room size. There is me DH DD's ages 2 and 5 and the baby is 7mos. I really know nothing about OKW but was able to get a 1 bedroom for our dates..How is the location? We will have a car so if need be we can drive. Our plan was to do our Animal Kingdom day while staying at AKL, but I suppose we can change our plans. Please give me some feeddback on Old Key West. Thanks

Here's a link to the DIS page about OKW. One nice thing (besides the size of the room) is that you will have a washer and dryer and a full kitchen. The parking is right outside your door.
OKW is close to Epcot. The bus ride there takes about 7 minutes. The bus ride to MK is about 15 to 20 minutes (although I haen't timed it), but the bus is better than driving since you will be let off right at the park entrance.

You will be blown away when you walk into your villa at OKW! It is huge, and the balconey is amazing! The bus transportation is effiecient enough for our family not to drive to the parks. I can't say enough about OKW. You will LOVE it! Make sure to request a view or location of your preference. There are water, golf and woods views to choose from The are pools spread throughout the resort, but the main pool is close to Hospitality House. Check out a map here on the DIS to see what location looks like a good fit for you.

I too think you will much happier with all the room at OKW. With three little ones trying to move and crawl around AKL might be very tight.

Our then 14-month old did not like being in our WL room for very long just b/c she did not have lots of room to move around. She wanted out of the room all the time. She loved exploring the lobby etc. So this trip we are doing one bedroom OKW and I know we will all be tickled by the amount of room we have!
