DVC resort with children

[huey duey & luey]

We are planning a trip next Nov with 3 small children plus friends and 2 small children I cant make up my mind where to stay. My home resort is BWV so i will be booking a t 11 monyh window should I change at 7 month to BCV or VWL. We have stayed at OKW and would like to try something new. We were thinking BW b/c has places to go if we swap babysitiing duties and maybe could get a view of illuminations if luck, BCv for SAB and both for location to MGM (kids love disney movies and playhouse disney) VWL for location to MK. Any advice would be great thanks

We too own At Boardwalk, And have small kids. If you are primarily concentating on MK. I woiuld choose WLV. Keep in mind that Boardwalk and Beach Club. you can easily access two parks. The pools are both great yes SAB is great...... The keiser coaster at the Boardwalk my DS 9 Loves the most!!!! and the little elephant play area is appreciated by the little members of our party. SAB was harder for me as the little ones were primarily in the sand area, And it was impossible to see my DS 9, In his choice location over by the Slide . That bothered me even though, he was of course fine. I still prefer to be able to see them all at the same time. other than that..... Lets see its closer to Epcot on the walkway to Beach club. And you do not have to fold the stroller on the launch to MGM you roll them right on the dock into the boat (at Beachclub). At Boardwalk they can be in the stroller on the boat but, Have to be out of the stroller going down the gangplank to the boat. Yes, there is a walkway to MGM from Boardwalk, I can't comment on that as I have never used it. it will probably come down to what park you will be spending your most time and Pool choice. All Are great And I think you will be happy will any you choose!

I agree with VWL with the young childern and easy access to MK, but I would book BWV at 11 months, then try for VWL at 7 months. That way you have a place to stay for sure. And BWV is a great location if VWL isn't available. But if you want to impress your guest, don't forget about the WOW factor as you walk into a 1 or 2 BR at OKW.

BWV is closer to MGM than BCV (not by much), especially if you stay in the South part by the Quiet Pool and Community Hall area

With all those kids, and mentioning the things to do and babysitter swapping, I would go with BWV unless MK is a big driver than VWL is very nice as well

Thanks
