Of the 3 I would choose AKL. it is lovely, and the bus service is good, IMO. If you want to spend time with your friends, OKW is nice, but that resort is incredible boring. It is also sprawling. I cannot imagine the teens liking it at all.
We haven’t gone with our boys since MPLL started but when my mom and used it this past fall, it worked really well for getting the most done with rope dropping and booking early times. I think if I were going with my 2 “bed slugs” in the near future, I’m not sure how best MPLL would work for them if they met us, for example, after lunch. I think what I’d end up doing is making them get up for rope drop, have some morning MMLL times booked, eat lunch, back to resort for naps for those who need them, and then return to the parks in the late afternoon. That’s kinda what we did in the fall and those EEH really helped. We were definitely tired but the afternoon rest break definitely helped. Otherwise, I’m not sure how I’d make LL work for the boys who sleep in! Hawaii time/PST zones stink for going to WDW
You made a great choice … highly doubt you will have buyers remorse at AKL .. much better chance you book a bounce back or buy a AKV contract! These are from our studio deck in November … Enjoy!
I'm crossing my fingers to get a great view - I booked standard resort, but looked at Touring Plans for the room views and a few are practically savannah rooms. Now I just need to figure out how to make a room request of a specific room. The requests I've made in the past were always general, like "ground floor" or "close to transportation."
