Family Vacation 2022 Advice!

[MonaMN]

We are doing a multiple family trip next spring (four adults, three tweens) and we are leaning towards OKW for the extra space - and because we haven’t stayed there before. Kidani was my original first choice, but a pool is necessary! We were basically considering all the same options due to the point charts.

We are at CCV and don’t have enough points to book a 2 bedroom there, so I am needing to wait until our 7 month mark to book... thinking of booking regular rooms as back up because I am a type A planner/somewhat paranoid about the whole thing!

I am planning a trip for my husbands family and would appreciate any advice!!!

We are looking at a two bedroom for the 6 of us.

It will be two married couples in their 20s, my husbands mother, and 30 year old.

My home resort is Saratoga Springs, but I haven’t stayed there yet. We were also looking into OKW or AKL as options! We have never stayed at any of the three. This is our second DVC trip- previously stayed at Poly and Boardwalk. Love both!

For a trip in January 2022, where would be the best place to stay SS, OKW, or AKL?

I was leaning toward AKL for the extra bathroom in Kidani, but the pool will be closed at this time so we would have to walk over to Jambo if we wanted to use the pools. I’m not sure how long the walk is, but as this is their first time staying on property the pool could be a deal breaker, but it’s January so I’m not sure.

I like SS is close to Disney Springs and has several pools. I’m not sure if it will be warm enough to swim, but I’d imagine if it is we will probably spend a day or two at the pools. It would also be nice to be able to walk to restaurants in the evenings.

OKW room size is amazing! It would be nice to have the space, and we would be hoping the boats would be up by that time to get to DS.

Out of the three, what is your favorite for a family vacation and why?

We would look into other resorts, but this is 3/6 of us first time at Disney, so I feel like anywhere we stay will be magical and we could save points at these resorts!

We ended up choosing Old Key West! We booked SSR and if we can we will switch to OKW at the 7 month mark!
