which would you choose

grand floridian outer garden room or beach club i bed suite for family of three..

The 1 bedroom suite seems kind of excessive for a family of 3, IMHO.

That's a tough call. On the one hand you have great proximity to MK with GF, but an easy walk to Epcot with Beach Club. Personally, I'd go for Beach Club simply because I like the atmosphere better. But it all depends on your preferences and maybe which location is more convenient for you.

Some information about when your trip is and the age of your child would be a little helpful too.

In the summer you can't beat the pool at BC or on the fall its great to pop into Epcot for Food and Wine. Although being near to MK is awesome for many reasons too.

Hi grand daughter is 10yrs we are staying in the fall

I always go for a one bedroom and the beach club is close to two parks. Plus the pool is great and there is a lot to do on the boardwalk across from beach club.

My choice would be the GF. We've stayed at both resorts (although never in a suite) and we prefer the GF/MK area to the BC/EPcot area.

If your granddaughter likes to swim and is a strong enough swimming that she can be out of your sight I'd say BC. You might never get her to get out of the pool to go to the parks though.

The easy walk to Epcot in the fall make Food and Wine so easy.

I would also vote for beach club. LOVE the atmosphere and its proximity to Epcot, Boardwalk, and SAB is GREAT, and I would 100% choose a 1 bedroom for privacy over a regular room where there isn't much.

Chalk one more up for the Grand Floridian. Very beautiful resort with some really awesome dining options and a fun "Mad Hatter" themed children's water playground.

The Beach Club would give you much more space and easy entry to Epcot during F&W. The pool is great, but if you don't go in with your GD, you won't be able to see her at all times (it's large, spread out, etc., so fun for strong swimmers, but not great if you want to relax on a chair and watch her). Also I believe that the suite would give you access to the club level lounge with its snacks and drinks.

The GF is lovely, and it would give you easy access to the MK. There are 2 nice pools, both of which make it easy to keep your eyes on a child if you need to.

It just depends on what you prefer... More space? Close to MK? Close to Epcot? Both are nice (we have stayed at both of them), so I don't think you can go wrong here.

My pick would be BC. Easy walk to Epcot and DHS. Prefer the theming.

Are there 2 beds in the bedroom of the suite? I know some kids wouldn't blink at this but if not, will your 10yo GD be ok sleeping in the outer room of the suite by herself? I know my DD never wanted to sleep in the outer room alone when we were traveling and always ended up in the bedroom. It was something about being in a strange place... In the end it was always better to have 2 beds.

I've stayed at both twice. While the GF is really pretty, I find the location of the BC nicer. I'd also like the space of a suite, so if it were me I'd choose the BC.
