May trip for 5 ladies celebrating birthdays/Which of these 3 resorts?

I love the Poly studio, we recently stayed with 2 adults and 2 teens but the difference is that there is one bed, one sofa bed and the pull down bed. My over 6 ft son slept on the pull down and found it comfortable. As long as 2 of the girls would sleep on the sofa bed, then having that extra bathroom would be valuable. We've stayed at both BW and BC and while I loved both resorts, I think BW had the edge for me.

I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the resorts you've mentioned. Good luck making your choice and I hope this trip is both fun and healing for all.

I wouldn't do the Poly Studio because of the sleeping surfaces.

I am planning on putting all 5 gals in 1 room. I think we can manage. Only 1 really takes a long time and she's pretty good when on vacation. All 3 resort rooms have the 2 queens and a daybed which either my oldest daughter or I will sleep on since we are the shortest. We will not have a car. I was thinking we would use all forms of Disney free transportation depending on where we are staying and where we are going. The transportation doesn't worry me so much. We could also spring for an uber for those far away trips to AK.

I regularly travel with my three best friends. No way could we ever do one room with one bathroom. We usually use my timeshare points not Disney and get two two bedrooms so everyone has a bedroom and bathroom. Or we rent a house with enough bedrooms. If you can do one room and bath and still end up speaking more power to you! You will have a problem storing luggage and for us there would never be enough room for shoes! Just sayin.

How long of a stay are we planning? I'm fine with cramming 5 adults into one room for 2 to 3 nights. But if you're getting close to the week mark, personally I'd be looking at 2 rooms at gran destino tower.

If you're deadset on one room, I'd pick the layout that is the largest.

I'm planning a May trip with my sister, niece, and my 2 daughters. Our girls are in their early 20's. We are celebrating my sister and my niece's birthdays. My sister is a amputee and uses a prosthetic. I am pretty sure we will use her wheelchair some of the time. It folds up well. We are also celebrating my nephew's birthday and his life as this trip is much needed; my sister's son passed in January. He was 19. We love all the parks, probably spend the least amount of time at Animal Kingdom. I was able to price out the following: Boardwalk garden view at about $3500, Beach Club garden view at about $3700 and Grand Floridian lagoon view at about $3800. Which one would you recommend for us?

I would book the Beach Club since you are all adults and can walk to Epcot and it will be easy to get to Hollywood Studios.

Also the Y&BC has the best pool.

I’d say GF then BW, but really I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the three.
