Poly or BLT

I am trying to convince Eric to make a trip for June 2017. I will be us, J who will be 4 and possibly my mom. We (me) are looking at a studio. We just stayed at AKL in a 2bd but decided it is so far out. We would do 2 (maybe 3) days at MK, 1 at HS, and 1 at Epcot.

BLT studios are TINY. 3 adults plus a kid would be very cramped IMO.

Would it be worth to get a 1bd? It's a difference of $35 a month we would have to save (a 1bed at BLT vs a studio at Poly.)

What's is the availability availability for a 1bd at BLT at 7m out for standard view?

Standard view is the hardest view to get. 1 bedrooms are slightly easier though to get standard view then a studio standard. What are your dates? Beginning of the month right? I'll keep an eye on the dvc website once June is up for booking.

I'm thinking June 6-11th 2017. When does booking open up?

11 months out for people who own at that resort.

We did 5 people at poly and it was plenty of space. Two people per bed and the littlest one slept on the pullout sofa thing.

There are sites that list the square footage of the different rooms. I don't mind sharing a studio w/ the 5 in my family but I would't want my husband & I, a kid AND one of our inlaws. Sometimes 2 studios are cheaper than a one bedroom.

If it was with a parent or IL I would spring for the 1 bedroom. There is no way my husband would want to sleep next to my mother. Anecdotes

My mom stayed in the bedroom with us when we stayed at AKL earlier this month plus 3 night in a hotel traveling to and from WDW. I think he would be ok. He's the kind of person "that's only in the room to sleep."

We were able to get a lake view 2-bedroom at BLT at 7 months out. We had requested a standard view but there were none left. I think there's a very limited number of standard view rooms because they're basically just rooms on the lower few floors.
