my DH is throwing my plans off...help!

[princessap]

So I wanted AKV or BLT.....now he is throwing in the option of a suite at AOA....which would everyone suggest?
Pros to AOA is that I could book it myself and not rely on someone else for doing the points, reservation etc...but the look of a deluxe is sooooo appealing!! I think this is the perfect trip to do deluxe as it is only two night stay!
Help please!
His point for the AOA suite is that I was looking at a studio and they seem small and the price difference to go to one bedroom is a big difference!!!

What's the size of your party and ages of kids if any. If it's just 2 adults I'd stay in a studio. I'd probably go with BLT if you are doing parks just for the ease of transportation since your stay is short

It is my Dh, me and three kids (4, 6 and 8 months at time of trip)

Your kids would probably enjoy AoA due to its theming. Additionally, the suites are much bigger than the studios and have two bathrooms. However, if you're going to be spending your time at MK, you may be better off at BLT since it's so convenient.

Last year my family stayed at the Poly and one of the things my kids really enjoyed was taking the monorail. It was very convenient to both MK and Epcot. I know what you mean by wanting to stay at a deluxe. I was originally booked for AKL for my upcoming trip. I switched to AoA because my kids really want to stay there. The suites at AoA are almost the same price as a standard room at AKL even though AoA is a value resort. Of course we're getting a lot more space and the resort is new.

I think a studio is too small for the size of your party especially if you need a pack n play set up as well. I'd go with AoA out of those choices. I however would go with the Poly or the CR-Garden Wing area if my budget allowed since those rooms are quite large and will fit 4+infant nicely

I agree with the above. The studios at BLT are too small for your crew! We're getting a one bedroom there ourselves. We really like CR, and we stayed in the tower last time with lake view. Loved it! But the largest room we've had was at Poly in Tahiti.

I stayed at AKV Kidani back in Jan. There were 3 adults and I thought it felt cramped. Once you open that sofa bed, there really isn't a lot of room for much else in a studio. If I was traveling with 3 little ones, I would value the extra space and the ability to withdraw to the "grownup" room after the kids are in bed. I would have vote for the AOA suite if you had posted a poll.

Although the thought of a Deluxe Villa Studio is appealing, I agree with the others, a studio is way too small for your family.
You will be much better off in an AoA Family suite.
Maybe you can save up for a Villa rental for your next trip.

thanks everyone. Will price out villas vs aoa suites. Hopefully discounts are announced soon!

Since you are only staying 2 nights I'd price out staying at the CR or Poly in a standard room as well. Might be able to swing it for those nights and ease your transportation to maximize your park time.
