OKW or BWV with little kids??

[lmogs]

HELP! I need to decide quickly where to book our group of 20! We have 7 children (6 are 3-under). We're looking for good location (easy access to EPCOT and MGM) - and decent nightlife. . .since we're taking babysitter with us!

Pools, etc are not that important, since we're going in January! Thanks for your help. . .

Hands down BWV. Very easy boat access to MGM and Epcot or you could even walk. Boardwalk at night has performers and clubs open. Have a great trip!

Since you mentioned easy access to Epcot and MGM, I'd have to agree and say BWV. BCV are also close. Have fun !

Ditto

OKW is beautiful and a bit more spacious but if you're looking for easy access to the parks - in particular Epcot & MGM then BWV's is the only one of the 2 that will give you that.

Have a nice trip!

100% agreed. The more spacious part is especially a factor considering the amount of young children coming......maybe the OP is getting a couple of grand villas---or at least two or three 2 bedrooms ? Sounds like they'll need quite a few pack 'n plays for the six under age 3 and the OKW rooms are larger. Have a great time Imogs

BWV definitely. I love staying in the Epcot area with my 2 toddlers. It's so nice to be able to go to and from the parks without getting on the bus, folding the stroller, etc. It's really easy to return to the room for naps. The Boardwalk has two nightclubs--Jellyrolls (piano singalong bar) and Atlantic Dance Club. There's also some good adult-oriented restaurants--Spoodles, Flying Fish, a brewery and ESPN bar. The nearby Dolphin has some good ones too--Blue Zoo and Fresh. You will also love being able to walk to all the good eateries in Epcot's World Showcase. BWV units also seem to be pretty easy to rent points through, if you are going that route.

Probably Boardwalk Villas, although my personal favorite is Beach Club Villas!

Based on your criteria, no question: BWV.

OKW: Aug 2003

There is a nice clubhouse/community center at BWV with children's activities. Not sure what the age range is though.

The Luna pool is great for young children, well contained and easy to watch them. The theme will appeal to youngsters too, there is a kiddie pool and playground area.
