I think since they have stayed at GF before it would probably be good to stay there.
Pluses to GF
- they already know the area, layout and are comfortable getting around there
- resort monorail provides easy access to MK
- resort monorail provides easy access to the other MK area resorts if they want a change of scenery/eating places
- monorail to TTC provides easy access to EPCOT
- zero entry pool and water wheelchair are available (ramped entry to pool)
Minuses to GF:
- need to take busses to AK and the Studio
Pluses to Boardwalk area:
- Yacht Club is smaller than GF
- an easy ‘roll’ to get to Epcot or the Studio
- can take the boats to get to Epcot or Studio
- easy access to the Boardwalk area shops and restaurants and to other BW area resorts for change of scenery/eating places
Minuses to Boardwalk area:
- new area to them and they may not feel as comfortable getting around
- need to take buses to MK and AK
- pool has ‘bump steps’ but not zero entry
There may be other pluses and minus to each place, but I think it’s basically a matter of looking at them and weighing what is most important. Some of the things I listed may not be an issue for them at all (+ or -) and some may be so important that one issue can make the decision.
For example, the and ease of getting around YC may make a difference for someone who is not familiar with either resort, but may not be an issue for them if they are very comfortable at GF.
