Which resort for April 2022?

[tara595]

Hello! I need something to look forward to and have wanting to go back to Disney (the last time was almost 3 years ago!) With the all of the unknown this year, I'm going to plan for the week after Easter of next year. It will be four of us and my kids will be 5 and 7. I'll have 300 points to spend so I'd like to do 7 nights in a one bedroom. Which resort is the question? The last time we stayed at Wilderness Lodge and absolutely loved it. Here are my choices:
BLT, Beach Club, Boardwalk or Polynesian (I do know that they don't have a 1 bedroom, just a big studio).
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!

BLT has the extra bathroom and 2 sleeping surfaces for the kids (pull out couch and pull out chair). Can't go wrong with the pool at Beach Club though!

When you say the week after Easter do you mean starting the Monday, the day after Easter, or starting the Sunday a week after Easter. It makes a big difference, crowds are extremely huge that Easter week, and though still crowded starting that Sunday after Easter, it is much better.

Moreover, availability of rooms differs between those two weeks. You may find 1BRs at BLT, BCV or BWV during the Easter week at 7-months out, but chances are much higher to almost certain of doing so the week after, same as to the Poly studios.

With kids 5 and 7, any of those resorts would be fine, although I would personally avoid the studios if I have enough points for a 1BR and thus avoid Poly. Of the group, the best 1BRs are at BLT (and personal preference is lake view not theme park view), which are about 100 sq ft larger than BCV or BWV, have the additional twin-size pull-out chair bed in the living room, almost floor to ceiling viewing windows in the living room (request high floor), and 2 bathrooms. Moreover, you can walk to MK. BWV and BCV give you fairly easy access to Epcot and Studios and other Epcot resorts, and there are good restaurants at all the Epcot resorts.
