Help me decide on a resort today!!

[Heatherlovesdisney]

I can't make a decision! TIA for any help and all opinions!

I have a pin code and need to book our last minute end of March trip for 6 nights. We are a family of 5 (self, hubby, kids ages 14, 11 and 5) and can't decide between the following: WL Studio (stayed here before and loved it), BC Studio ($2 more per night) or BW Studio ($80 Less per night!). I'm kind of worried about QS food options at BW, but it's a great price. Help!!! I need to book today!!! Thanks again!

Knee-jerk reaction to your info - BW studio. But there was just a post about the pool maybe being closed? Check that first! Plenty of stuff to eat around the whole BW area. Take those kids t ESPN for some dingers!!!!

For the price difference I would say BW too.

BW Studio. We love BW. You have other Deluxe resorts in walking distance. Epcot and DHS are in walking distance. So much that you can do there too. Big River Grill there is actually QS priced. The other added benefit is the gas station. After I paid $7 for one beer, I walked over there and bought an 8-pack of alumibottles for $8.

Yeah I'm in camp BW. I'm partial to the atmosphere there and that's a heck of a savings.

BW the price wins for me. You can walk over to BC and Dolphin Swan for food and you have epcot at your back door.

$80 less per night seems like a no-brainer regardless of the resort. Being that it is BW, just makes it even better. BC is my favorite resort right now though. Best pool on the Disney Property that isn't at a water park. Food options are great, can walk to BW, and Epcot. So if saving the money isn't a concern, I'd go with BC. There is a lot that can be done with $480 though...Lol!! Eitherway, you have to get the Kitchen Sink from Beaches 'n Cream at BC!! Like any Disney Resort, you can't go wrong regardless of your choice...

I'm a Wilderness Lodge lover, but Boardwalk is my second favorite and for that price, I'd definitely recommend Boardwalk. I'd take the $80 I'd save for one night and put that towards a Garden Grocer order. As a person who loves Disney dining and is naturally an early riser, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed eating breakfast in the room while I was getting ready. It made my mornings so much more relaxed and I never really thought that they weren't relaxed before then. Just knowing that I could have breakfast right there in the room and casually stroll to 2 parks instead of making sure I was at the bus stop or boat dock early enough to ensure I made it for rope drop made my whole morning so much more calm, as well. It's nice knowing you are responsible for getting yourself to the park and won't be at the mercy of Disney transportation or other traffic.

BW studio UNLESS your 11 and 14 year olds aren't very into the parks but love to swim (in that case absolutely BC studio, without hesitation). $80/night x6 nights is real coin, and BW's pool is fun too, so unless you are very pool focused alot of days (we are; and 1 of my kids isn't into the parks), just book BW (and no more pondering or considering changing resorts!)

BW and enjoy the BC/YC pool, if yours is closed! Best of both worlds!

BC pool area, Stormalong Bay, is one of the best onsite pools so that has my vote. We stayed in 2015 and can't wait to stay there again.

Either BW or BC. Wilderness Lodge is still under heavy construction.

I feel you on the lack of QS options at BW. We love it there, but its one of my biggest gripes too... IF I have to choose between the 3, I'd go with BC. It's one of our favorites. Can't beat the location and the kids with LOVE the pool area.

Does the studios accommodate 5? I know when we stayed in a studio at BWV it was very tight once you opened the pullout and I thought it was 4 people max.

 

[Goofy G]

BW!! Not just because of the price, but that does help! Access to Epcot, QS heaven, is quick and easy. We often go to France for breakfast of pastries and coffee before we start the day. The bakery is also an option.

 

[100acreHiker]

We've stayed in most deluxe resorts and Boardwalk is our favorite! There are lots of food options at the bakery and the lounge in the morning. My kids prefer the boardwalk slide to the pool complex at BC because it was just way too crowded at BC stormalong bay all the time.

 

[Nancyg56]

BC is my new favorite resort, so I woudl send you there, but she $80 a night adds up. If the kids will use the pool head there, if not BWI.

 

[Reuben Varzea]

Haven't stay at any of the three mentioned above (yet!). BC is high on our list of places to try. Will be staying at WL in October. That being said, for the prices mentioned, I'd definitely check out BW. Location is phenomenal, and at that price, think it would be hard to beat. Plus you have access to dining options at S&D, YC and BC, plus walking distance to Epcot.

Thanks for your help everyone! We are booked for the Boardwalk! Can't wait!!!
