Looking to do a quick trip Thanksgiving week and would like to stay somewhere we haven't yet stayed. Narrowed our choices to a studio at BWV, OKW, BLT, VWL. Trying to determine during a crowded week, which will be easiest/best transportation to all the parks, as well as best setup/space for 4 people in a studio. Normally we do a 2bedroom at BCV or AKV. Any opinions? Thanks!
 
BLT has the easiest transportation to the parks. You will have years to experience all of the resorts, availability may determine where you stay this time.

For four in a studio, you might consider BWV which has the extra pull down sleeper. So does VGF and VWL, but VGF is hard to book for non-owners and VWL is under major construction at the resort. BCV may be finished with their refurb by then which also would give you the pull down bed.

OKW has two queen beds if you prefer not to have any sofa sleepers.
 
I would say OKW based on sleeping arrangements. I love BWV and BLT. But, BLT studios are way too small for four. Three are cramped!!
BWV does have the pull down bed. I'm 5'7". I slept on it quite nicely. Some say it's too small for adults, I was fine. That would give you more options.
I like BWV simply because of its location. OKW is great if you're looking for a more laid back stay.
 

Even with the Reno, I think for that time of year, I would try VWL. 2nd choice BWV.
 
Four people in a studio ??? If space and comfort is your first choice then a studio at OKW is your first choice. The two queen beds and the shape of the rooms gives you far more space then the other resorts. The studios at BLT are a joke and we were spaced out with three people let alone four people.
 
Have you looked at availability? - I'm guessing that unless you want to move, you are at OKW that week.
 
I wouldn't consider a studio with 4 people at BLT - you'll be extremely cramped. I'd go for OKW since their rooms are more spacious or BWV for location.
 
BWV will give you good proximity to 2 parks, BLT will allow you quick time to MK, plus monorail. If park closeness is at top of priority, I would say BWV. But, that time of year is very popular, so I would book ASAP, then be ready for a backup plan. VWL, though under construction, is very nice around Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays.
BWV, VWL and BLT studios are similar in layout, but BLT rooms are a bit smaller,and less storage space than the other 2. OKW has more sq. ft but is laid out less like a studio, more like a hotel room. Dont get me wrong, love OKW, esp. the 1 and 2 bedrooms, just not big on the studios
 
I voted WLV however I do not think it is available right now and you have to consider whether the construction will affect you. Boardwalk would be my second choice.
