Stayed in a 1 bdrm last year at BWV DH and I loved the proximity to Epcot.....DD is going to be turning 3 and I dont know if we should try for AKV or wait one more year.
BWV is our absolute favorite resort, but we've tried them all
i would suggest giving AKV a try - you might find your true favorite.
the worst that could happen is that you have a great time at another, untried resort, and experience something totally different.
I would do BWV one more year and then see her reaction with the animals at age 4--I think that would be a big difference. DH and I do not have children, but I just left my 2 1/2 and 4 year old nieces after spending the night with them. The four year old was still enough to let me paint her nails (we did clear polish with black polka dots for 101 dalmations ) and she is now helping set and clear the table. My other nieces was too busy playing with her dolls and finding her blanky to worry with looking at things out the window. They are just too cute and those were my observations with them yesterday. Its OK if you take my advice with a grain of salt and actually get the scoops from parents
For a 3 year old, I think the pool at Kidani has perfect water experiences for her, and the animals would be a huge hit. If you can get a savannah view at Kidani, I think you'll have a great time.
