I'm new to DVC and to message boards but really want some advice as to where to stay my family is going for the frist time as members we are taking my mom, my sister her twin girls(4yr) and my boys (1yr,2yr) other family are going to be at Animal kingdom

If I am correct, you will have 8 people. If you all get along well and would like to stay in one condo, then go with a 2 bedroom. If you would like to have time with your family alone then get 2 one-BRs or 2 studios or one of each, depending on how many points you have. (I think 2 studios would require the fewest points of all the options.)

If you decide to take a 2 BR, then OKW would be a strong consideration because the condos are so large. I think the crew you describe may feel a little cramped in the other 2BRs. OKW has the lowest point requirement and is famous for peace, quiet, beautiful landscaping.

If your priority is being real close to Epcot, then choose Boardwalk or Beach Club, which are only a short walk away. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the pool, choose Beach Club. (Although the others have nice pools, Beach Club has the best.) If you want to be a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom, choose Wilderness Lodge. If Downtown Disney, choose Saratoga Springs.

Downtown Disney is a WAY underrated sleeper in my opinion. It's the only place my kids ALWAYS want to visit every time we go. Mainly for the Lego store and the fountain. But also for the Volcano dessert at Rainforest Cafe.

You won't regret whatever you choose.

We prefer VWL with kids and all...........its a great "themed" resort and is only a quick boat ride to the MK which is generally where the younger kids want to be......

All in all, no matter where you stay, I'm sure it will be Magical.........

I would suggest VWL with all the children that are going.

It's a nice quiet retreat from what will be a hectic day at the parks so I would choose the VWL and did I mention the VWL? I did did'nt I? well that would be our choice, our kids love it there, enjoy your trip and give us a report on your choice.

VWL..VWL...VWL.....vwl.....vwl...vwl.........

Welcome Home!!!

No suggestions on resort - we love BCV and BWV for walk to Epcot / MGM, but with such young kids, VWL would probably be best for proximity to MK.

Have fun!

WELCOME

We love OKW 2 bedroom. It has always been my immediate family and my mom.
Everyone is different. I like getting away from the hussle & bussle. I find it easier to calm down the kids that way. That's the main reason I love OKW the most.
