HELP...We can't decide which Studio Villa

[Philhar-Fanatic]

We're a family of 4. DS 14 DD 13. Last Spring Break we rented points and stayed at AKL Jambo House Studio Villa. We fell in LOVE with everything about this resort except the bus service(seemed kind of slow) and the food (it wasn't our taste). So we decided that next trip WL would be the place for us. We love the food, atmosphere, and ease to MK. Here lies the delima!! With WL starting construction we don't want to be smack dab in the middle of that next March.

So here's our options and my observations of each. Please help decided what to pick!!
BLT: LOVE the location, amenities and atmosphere seem great but I don't see how 4 of us will fit in that room!
BWV: Location and atmosphere seem great! By reading reviews rooms seem REALLY tired!
SSR: Like the ease to DTD but bus service may be an issue due to it's size. Also concerned about their being a lack of atmosphere here.
BCV: SAME at BWV
Poly Villas: Has more than enough room and atmosphere. Doesn't seem to have any cons except the price.
GFV: Same as Poly Villas

Last option: Stay at AKL again. Cheapest option, room is plenty big enough, atmosphere is great, and just venture out for food.

Thanks in advance for the help!

If it helps, the BCVs should be fully renovated by the time you go. They are renovating its rooms right now with completion expected around October of this year.

We were BC not BCV but room was great and food options were great (nearby everything). Walk to Epcot and friendship boat to DHS big advantages as well.

Good to know! I've read about this, but haven't been able to get a definite on if it actually was happening.

I've stayed at BWV's twice, and loved the rooms both times. I preferred them to the BCV, but that was before refurbs. I like the location of both of those places, being within walking distance of 2 parks.

IMO, the bus service is no better, and in some cases worse, at BLT, BWV, BCV, VWL, SSR, and OKW when compared to AKL. I cannot speak to the bus service at Poly or VGF as we've never stayed there. If I had to choose from your list, and not AKL which would be my choice, I'd say BCV any day! That place is far from tired and surrounded by some of the best food options and hands down the best pool.

Thank you for the input! I put in our request for AKL 1st, Poly 2nd, and BWV last. We'll see what's available!
