Where should we stay?

[robyng]

We are planning a trip to take our 2 kids (ages 8 and 10). We'll be staying in a studio. Our choices are Jambo House, Kidani Village, Old Key West, Beach Club Villas, Saratoga Springs or Boardwalk Villas. Where should we stay? We need kid friendly with a great pool and food options. Thanks!

I would say either BWV or OKW. I love BWV for the proximity to EPCOT and the Boardwalk Bakery, although that's your only CS option really close - BWV also has an amazing pool and a great atmosphere.

OKW was the biggest shocker to us - we stayed there for the first time last year and LOVED it - it's our favorite now. The atmosphere is so laid back, the bus service is the best I've seen, and the pool is beautiful. They do have a CS place that's pretty decent, plus it's only a boat ride to DTD for tons of food options!!

I vote for AKV.

As for Kidani or Jambo, you'll have to decide that for yourself.

Kidani pros - quieter, 1st bus stop (if you don't have a car), shaded parking (if you do have a car, pool play area

Jambo pros - bigger store, bigger lobby, QS restaurant

Old Key West is really nice too. Plus it has 2 beds instead of a bed and a sofa bed.

Thanks for the advice. We've booked AKV Jambo with a Savanna view.

would suggest you do BCV - it has the best pool on property (at the bc part - SAB)

you have counter service there at the market place - but it has one of the best restuarants - Cape May Cafe at BC.

you also have easy access to the restuarants at Yc, Dolphin & Swan plus BW area plus Epcot is a short 5 minute walk away.

so more choices for dinning.

Why is not BLT on your list?

...Why is not BLT on your list?

My guess? The OP read about how small the BLT studio is and they are booking a studio.

OKW is nice and relaxed.

I like BCV. Being able to end your day at Epcot and walk back to your room is wonderful.
