I love both resorts, another family of 5 with 3 teen daughters. I liked the rooms better at AKV seemed more spacious but the location of BLT with young kids and teens cannot be beat at BLT. My DD's ride the monorail, get off at the different resorts, check out the shops etc... They stayed at the MK until closing and were back at the resort in less then 10 minutes. If it were up to my kids they would for sure say BLT because it gives them so much freedom! I also like the idea of a split stay. If you can swing 5- 6 nights at AKL and do AK HS and Universal then move to BLT and have those days be your EPCOT, MK days. I actually would do/have done BLT 1st and then unwind at AKV at the end of the trip. Good luck
