Currently investing in Blackrock 529 through a financial adviser with Edward Jones (2 kids 18 months & 2-1/2 years old.) I'm 33 years old
Anyone have any experience or can provide feedback with this college savings plan? Thinking about switching to a Vanguard savings/college plan.

I'm not an expert, but did a good bit of research on 529 plans when my first kid was born. I decided to setup my kid's accounts, and the accounts I setup for my nieces and nephews, in the Utah Educational Savings Plan (UESP).
They have a good variety of low fee funds to choose from that include age based, static, or custom allotments. Then they also have Vanguard and Dimensional funds that you can choose from. LINK
I live in Texas, which doesn't provide a tax incentive for contributing to 529 plans and the Texas 529 plans are pretty subpar, so it was a no brainier to go elsewhere. The low fees and ease of use with UESP have been great so far.

I set up an educational savings account (ESA) for my kids through schwab. Used a target date mutual fund.

What state are you in? BlackRock is a good fund company.
