BCV will cost less to buy but it also has an earlier finish date. If you are looking short term then BLT is probably best. Longer term BCV. If buses are enough for you not to love AKL then that is out.

I voted BLT. It will last for 50 years, has monorail access to both MK and Epcot (via TTC), and you can walk to the MK. There are nice restaurants off the monorail. The annual dues are the lowest of all resorts.

I voted for Animal Kingdom. Based on the resort style and decor I think its the best. However, I know about the transportation issue but its not a big issue for me, since I don't have a set schedule when I'm there. My second choice would be BCV because of the location plus BLT studios have strange bathrooms.

It sounds like the only real drawback for Contemporary is the decor. Not feeling at home can be a big impediment, true, but I think the location makes up for it and you would feel more at home after a few stays, keeping in mind also that BLT probably won't feel as big, busy, and hollow as the a-frame next door.

BCV, great location and it's hard to stay there if you don't buy there, to my understanding, but you are buying in for so much less time.

FIrst of all, you are in a no lose situation. You will enjoy all of them and can use all of them depending on the season. That being said, unless your kids are really, really young I would vote for Beach Club. They will quickly grow into the pool and will love it. You will love the grounds and everything around it. It offers far more to do than BLT, but it also depends on what your family enjoys. Just my two cents. Mark

Of the 3 I would have to say BCV. The only draw back is the contract runs out sooner than the other 2. But they may offer an extension of years like they have for OKW.

When our 4 children were young we always stayed at the Contemporary. It is our favorite resort and so very convenient with children of all ages. I love the decor and find the building a marvel. However, you need to have a good feel for where you plan to stay so it sounds like BLT is out for you.

AKL is so beautiful and a great place to stay for adults traveling alone or with children. We rented a car when we stayed there so the transportation was not a barrier but if you plan to use the bus system and will be with children this choice can be problematic (especially if you want to go to and from the parks and AKL more than once a day).

Sounds like you really like BC. If the shorter length of the contract and its distance from MK is not an issue (and really taking the bus to MK or the monorail is not such a big deal) then your choice might be made. You can even get a good prive via the resale market.
