Finalizing Disney Plans!

[Astingel2016]

Morning everybody! The year for our trip is finally here and we're double checking our stay just to make sure we're getting the best value for us. I have a few questions!

This is our current booking:
Week in Nov (Sat-Sat) at Old Key West
1 BR Villa wheelchair accessible w/roll in shower
5 day park tickets, Memory Maker and Disney Dining Plan

Looking around I noticed that Art of Animation Cars Suite wheelchair accessible w/roll in shower, 5 park days, Memory Maker and Disney Dining Plan for the same week is about $735 cheaper than OKW. We're a family of four with me being the one using a wheelchair/powerchair.

1. Would you guys switch your booking to AoA? Why or why not?
2. We're hoping to be able to eat breakfast most days in the room, usually cereal or pop-tarts, as well as be able to reheat leftovers/snacks. Would keeping cold milk be an issue at AoA? The OKW room we have booked is supposed to have a full size kitchen so that's a plus for us.
3. Does the Skyliner accommodate powerchairs? I've watched plenty of YouTube videos, but the door openings on the Skyliner look a bit narrow. My powerchair fits through a normal hotel door but I don't want to go and then have the Skyliner not work for me.

Thanks for any information you can provide!

- The Skyliner has a separate section to load those in wheelchairs/power chairs, so I would not worry about that too much. The convenience of using it to get to two parks is huge IMO. BUT....if someone in your party is afraid of rides like that I wouldn't stay there. I don't think my mom would be able to tolerate it.
- I've not stayed at AoA in a Family Suite before, so I can't answer your question about keeping milk cold.

Perks of OKW - extended evening hours benefit and a w/d in the unit
Perks of AoA - a second bathroom and the pull down bed as opposed to the pull out chair

$735 is a good chunk of change IMO. I'd probably switch, but only you can decide what works best for your family. You could probably use that $$ to add on an extra day or purchase tickets to MVMCP or Jollywood Nights (if your dates coincide with those events).
