Where would you recommend to stay?
we are a party of 4 adults and 1 kid (6yrs), on a high occupancy date (Oct 1-3), visiting mostly mk and ep
Thanks,

IMHO OKW 2Br hands down. The space you get is calming, plus 2 Full bathrooms!

For the space and the best bang for your buck OKW.
AOA suites are well themed but at a deluxe cost with value amenities.

Although neither appear to be available for those dates at the moment.

The AoA lion king suite was the most fun room I've ever stayed at (comparing against deluxe DVC) and the pool is fun too. Having said that, I'd suggest AoA for a party of 2 adults and the rest kids...but with 4 adults and 1 kid I'd go the 2 bedroom route.

Without a doubt, Old Key West!! AoA is a cute resort but with your party, you cannot beat the size of the villas at Old Key West.

At AoA, two adults would have to sleep on a fold out couch in the living room. I would definitely go with OKW if available and in your price range.

Actually the kiddo would probably get that one.
There is a regular bed and a murphy bed which from sleeping on it at POP is as comfortable as the regular bed.

I am debating between the theme (probably the one time we would do this suite), but mostly which one could have best (easiest) transportation from the parks those days…

I have read that the several stops at OKW involves a longer commute … is it truly that inconvenient vs AoA?

We've had nothing but positive transportation experiences at OKW. Most, if not all, of the villas are near to a bus stop. Of course if you're at the back of the rewrote there is slightly longer ride.

For those dates transportation to and from anywhere could be inconvenient.
In the case that you're looking to get to MK or EPCOT quickly I'd either stay at an MK area resort or an EPCOT area resort so that at least you can easily walk to one or the other if all else fails.
If you're set on staying at OKW or AOA you may want to consider just using ride share if the buses/skyliner seem to be backed up.

Thanks,

Stayed in a Nemo Suite with 3 grandsons - 11,9 and 7 and they loved it. 2 bathrooms so they could have their own and rooms were so close to the Skyliner, the pool and the restaurant. The Skyliner when it is working is the fastest option for Epcot and HS. OKW can be difficult regarding transport unless you have a car and frankly driving and parking at the parks is not my thing.
