I'd pick Boardwalk. Location, location, location. I could always get to Kidani easily enough to look at the animals, eat at Sanaa.
Having lived near the ocean my whole life where beach theming is way overdone, I've no attraction to BC, but that is a personal thing with me.
Definitely the Beach Club. I love the quick walk to Epcot!!! And the resort is really nice overall, including the CMs. Only drawback for me is no real counter service option, save for the very limited items in the Marketplace.
We had a savannah view at Kidani in June and it was wonderful. I loved looking out at the animals - it was amazing. Sitting on the balcony was such a treat.

I might have said one bedroom Animal Kingdom, but not at Kidani. That doesn't do it for us, as to us, it's too remote from the main building, which has more of the action. The Beach Club is our favourite, so that gets our vote.

I should add that we've already stayed at kidani twice, but never at the other two resorts.
Initially I'd say savanah view - love AKL!!! Butafter reading this coment change to BC! Been there and love the resort! The location is perfect...walking distance to Epcot, boat ride to DHS...plus near Boardwalk and add
SAB - the pool complex is amazing!! DD loved the slider and the kazy river!!! And there is also Beach and Cream.... best milk shake ever!!!!

BC is our favorite! We love the location (it's wonderful to walk to Epcot and DHS!) and SAB, and we enjoy its light and airy feel. Very relaxing! And since you've never stayed there, you might like to give it a try. If so, I hope you love it as much as we do!
We love AKL. yes, I know its out of the way. But that is one thing I love about this resort. It feels like you are in a place of your own. AKL -has 2 bathrooms in a 1 bedroom. I hit with me when I have 3 girls.

That was a tough one! I love both BC and AKL!!
Love the location of BC, but when it comes down to it, I love AKL for every other reason! The animals, the feel of the resort, the way it makes me feel I am actually in a far away place like Africa!
For me there is nothing like going out on my balcony and watching the beautiful animals on the savannah!
Beach Club for sure. It's close to Epcot and DHS. It's on the boardwalk for nighttime entertainment, and it has Stormalong Bay. You have more food choices here than you do at Kidani, too. Plus, you've already stayed at Kidani, try something new!
