Where to stay - studio in May 2021?

[dledger]

I also vote Poly. (Though BCV and BWV make the list)
Poly studios are the biggest.
Obvious proximity to the MK. Walk to the TTC and get right on the Epcot monorail (and you will have flower and garden going on at that time if that is of interest.)
Poly has the split bath rooms.

Probably be star wars weekend (May 4th is in your date range)

I appreciate the input! I forgot about Star Wars weekends but that likely wouldn’t effect us as we aren’t typically too eager to make the trip to HS. So, if we needed to skip that we could.

So, a BLT studio is about the same size as a room at POR, but because the BLT studio has a kitchenette taking up space, the way the space is used is less efficient. When the sofa bed is out, you will absolutely feel it.

For a family of 3, I prefer Poly, because you can use the queen bed and the murphy bed and never touch the sofa to pull it out, just to sit on or stack laundry on.

Renting, you should be able to get BLT Lake View or Poly Standard. I would never count on BLT Standard, as that category is quite small and popular. Poly Standard is a huge category - 300+ units.

I agree with this! The are of the BLT studios where the bead is located is just really tight and cramped to me....

I’m glad to hear you say the distance doesn’t bother you with AKL because that was my ONE drawback to it and the only reason it’s not #1 on my list!

Regarding the distance of Ak to the parks....it has never been an issue to us. We have never had to wait a long time for buses or anything. AK Lodge is close to AK park and not too far from HWS. You can also use the MDE app to see how close the buses are and when they are coming. AK does not share buses with any other resorts and it just picks up at one spot at Jambo and one spot at Kidani so there are not a bunch of stops within the resort {if I cam recalling correctly}
