The only reason I do not believe this , is the statement of topping any DVC room to date . DVC will never build another resort with rooms the size of OKW hence no DVC will ever have rooms better than ever. DVC realizes they can get more bang for the buck with smaller rooms.

No room can ever top an OKW 1BR or 2BR.

I think he may mean decor wise they top anything DVC has built. I looked at the AKV models and they are definately a "cut above" BCV/VWL/SSR etc.

We walked through the Grand Californian models on Monday. DH and I both thought the GC's 1BR unit was far superior to those we've stayed in at BWV and AKV Jambo house: larger, open kitchen w/ free-standing workstatation, 6-seat kitchen table, twin-bed murphy built into the entertainment hutch, 2nd bathroom w/ shower, etc. Overall, it felt much larger ... but perhaps it was based on a "better use of space."

The studio layout follows that of BWV (hotel-like) -- which we prefer over OKW's and VB's triangular layout. Better flow, less cramped.

I wonder if the models are ready at Doorway to Dreams too?

ooh, if this is true then I can see the model in December on my trip to WDW! Hopefully though someone will have some pictures up before then anyway.

Oct.... I had heard from my DVC guide that the may be on sale as soon as June
any one else hear this????

Right. The decor and quality of the inside is what I was referring to. A step up from AKL, which I woul consider the "nicest" of DVC rooms.

We've stayed at the Dolphin/Swan, and the one thing that they have above DVC is the "Heavenly Bed". Any chance improved bed/bedding was part of the upgrade?

Being from Wisconsin, this would be the only way I could see the GCV models before my Sept-Oct trip.

Disney doesn't meet the deluxe standard for bedding in thier "Deluxe" resorts much less in DVC!

 

[MiaSRN62]

We prefer the triangular feel of the OKW/VB studios----feels much more spacious to us. But we will see if we can check out the model this Aug. Are they open to the public to tour ? Oh....does anyone know if the 1 bedrooms will sleep 5 like AKV ?

Unless they lease more space there is no room there for them to have two sets of models.

 

[liznboys]

How exciting, thanks for the scoop, dudleydog! I can't wait to see them!!

 

[itsreally4mommy]

Ooooh, exciting!

Any chance source had a bit of scoop on the points/cost?

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

Disney is really waiting until the last minute to finally announce this one aren't they.

I can't wait to see it.

When we took the VGC model tour on Sunday, the CM said that the rooms would have the "high and comfy" beds like the hotel side. And I'm not a fan of any hotel bed be it deluxe or not, but those beds were wonderful.

I would guess that any Contemp DVC rooms would have similar adjustments made like the VGC rooms, like sleeping 5/9 people and the kitchen setup.
It will interesting to see whether the murphy bed will be the extra bed or if the chair bed will remain.
