BRV vs YC for trip 12/17/2019

[jamaniza]

HI!!! We have trip planned 12/17/19-12/23/19. We are going back and forth between YC and BRV. Traveling with our three sons (11, 14, 17) and this will be our 7th trip to Disney but SOOO excited for our 1st trip around Christmas! We have stayed at Poly, OKW, BW, AoA, and YC on previous trips. We usually stay at least 10 days so this trip is short for us! Have to cram as much in as we can with all the holiday events and Star Wars! We love YC but have been debating trying something different. Some questions to help with deciding on where to stay this trip…
-does the proximity of YC to Epcot and HS trump the wonderfully holiday decorated BRV which I have heard so much about?
-sleeping arrangements better at YC with the 2 queen beds vs pull out at BRV with the three boys?
-how is transportation at BRV…are buses consistent?
-easy to get to quick service at BRV to grab coffee in morning?
Thanks so much! I know both are wonderful and I can’t go wrong with either. Just want to be sure we are maximizing our time while we are there!

BRV will have one queen bed, one double sleeper sofa and the bunk sized murphy bed (smaller than a twin sized bed). Will your 14 and 17 year olds mind sharing that double sleeper sofa?

Buses work fine at BRV. You are closer to the bus stop at BRV than you are with the rest of WL.

The studio will have a regular Mr Coffee style coffee pot in the room (10-12 cup size). There is no food at BRV other than what you have already in your studio. You have to go to the lodge to get any prepared food.

I'm assuming you are considering a studio at BRV? There is no way I would do that with three boys ages 11 and up. With a pull-out and murphy bed, I don't think they will be very comfortable. I would go with YC and, if you have time, simply visit WL to see the Christmas decor.
