Pricing out a family vacation for August 1-12 of 2010. Looking for a two bedroom at either SSR or OKW. Can you tell me availability and price? Also, which one do you find better for kids? Looking for a golf/WDW family vacation. Also, want lots of room?
There isn't an issue with availability, we can get whatever you want at SSR. I cannot book OKW until February 1,2010 as I am not an owner there.
I've not stayed at OKW, so I can't comment.
SSR has a couple of advantages - one the proshop & first tee at the LBV course is almost on property. It is directly across the street from Pleasure Island, Downtown Disney and the MarketPlace.
Some persons think the buses are an issue, we didn't find that to be true, there are a lot of them continually accessing SSR & DD so the delays seemed to me to a lot less than for say staying at BCV or VWL.
SSR to me is a lot quieter than other resorts, mostly due to the way its laid out. Whether the kids think thats a good thing or not - I can't quess.
The 2 BRS are plenty big at SSR - I do beleive that the OKW rooms are a little larger, whether or not that is an issue??? Not sure how many in your party.
As far as kids are concerned, the pool at SSR is good - but not the same as the one at BCV - that one is the bomb. The big draw for kids at SSR is being near DisneyQuest in DD. They do have the normal amount of arcades / activities for kids there, but in general I think AKV or BCV are the best for the under 12 crowd - not sure if this applies to you or not.
Let me know if your interested in pursuing SSR, we can make those arrangements asap.
Hope this helps!
