I have stayed at both OKW and BWV. BWV are my personall favorite, but since you're traveling with adults, I figure space would probably be important. OKW have the largest rooms on property so that would probably be the best bet. However, SSR rooms are supposed to be fairly large as well and it has a much better location than OKW. Have fun on your trip!

what are you staying in - 1 or 2 bedroom? with 5 guessing 2-bedroom, then might go with BWV - just because you can walk to Epcot and Studios.

if it is a 1-bedroom then definitely OKW. you will need all the space you can get.

We have stayed in all 3 of them.
With all adults, I second OKW for the space.
There is the boat--which will avoid all that weekend traffic there-- & bus to DTD.
Love the full size washer/dryer & the built in buffet-great for recharging cameras, cell phones etc (just remember to bring your Squid!). The kitchen is much larger and can accomodate 2 cooks, easily.

We will do BCV or BWV when our group is all adult for the ease of all the dining venues & the short walk to Epcot & MGM.
FIL likes to roam early in the morning, on the prowl for coffee & sweets, so the Epcot area is ideal for him. Plus he has no idea how the WDW transportation functions, so he can be up & off to Epcot & MGM without anyone having to accompany him. We're a family that will tour in packs or go it alone!

SSR is roomy and has the boat to DTD. Am not a big SSR fan, but many are.
The Grand Villas are HUGE, perfect for a group.

We're a grown family of five too. OKW is our home resort and always our first choice for the size of the villas. I love the drive up to the door convenience.

We have stayed in a 2-BR in BCV which is the same size as BWV or SSR. The kitchen is insanely small, as is the eating area, and the living room.

When it's just me and DH, a studio at BWV is our favorite. But with three teenage/college kids....it's not a vacation if we're crammed into tiny accommodations. OKW it is!

If you are paying cash to Disney, they will only let you in a two bedroom. If you are staying on DVC points, you could get a one bedroom, but you won't get any additional bedding, linens, etc for the fifth person.

BWV definitely. Closest by far to the fun and action!

I stayed in a one bedroom villa at SSR through Disney. I had maid service every day and thought the facility was beautiful. It's a huge resort, but you can take any bus internally throughout the resort. The boat service to DTD was wonderful.
