Does size matter?

[goldilocks_63]

Hi, here at OKW, and also own at SSR and BCV. I saw the SSR rooms for the first time this weekend....

and couldn't be sure, becuase I was coming from OKW hugeness, but are SSR rooms even smaller than BCV?

I asked my guide 3 times, and he hedged each time, which in itself is the answer to me....

Anyone know?

I still think SSR is lovely..... but it's getting crowded here folks.

IMHO, Goldi

OKW slide appears to be progressing, but no good pictures to post.

Sorry...

Don't know for sure, but someone posted recently that although they thought the rooms were the same size, the heavier furniture (bigger/darker colors) made the room seem smaller.

With OKW you have really big rooms and pretty light furniture - making the big rooms seem even bigger.

SSR and VWL are decorated darker. Making the smaller room seem smaller still.

The furniture (sofa, chair, armoire) at SSR is definitely bigger and more solid (takes up more visual space) than what I've seen at BCV or OKW.

The square footage of each room is around here somewhere...they are within a few feet of each other.

Goldi, how are you enjoying OKW? What size unit are you in??? We were there in early October and loved the 2 bedroom! We own at BCV, and that is the only other place we have even seen. Just sent the check for our VWL add-on, our next trip aill be there. Have fun down there, you are not missing anything up here in Naperville....Lacee

I thought that studio at HH seemed quite large!

I don't think size matters at all.

It's all about location, location, location to me!

HI, we're in OKW 1BR - Building 30, by Turtle Pond. Low 80s every day.

It's been lovely. Go to the parks, til 4 or so when DD-6 is tired, and home to swim.

Nana and Grandpa babysit, and off to pleasure island to shop / party!

Lots of fun. Haven't done the Halloween party this year (maybe next time).

From the above post, I guess the room sizes are almost the same (Must be the colors).

Guide said there would be only 1 theme pool at SSR, and 5 other quiet pools. I again pushed for another theme pool at the other end....

Boat CM said that they can fix the treehouses, but if they tear them down, then they can't rebuild (apparently treehouses are grandfathered into the wetlands, but if they go down, nothing can be rebuilt...)

It's also a function of how the space is used. We thought the 1BR at BWV was much smaller than we expected, but the studio we had at BCV really didn't seem that small compared with OKW primarily because it was a dedicated studio and had a sleeper sofa rather than a second queen bed in the room. Also, the split bathrooms in the studios at BCV, BWV, and VWL mean that the bathroom itself seems smaller than in those studios like OKW and HH that do not have a split bathroom with the sinks out in the open.

Those studios do still have the bar type sink outside the main bath. I really like the more spacious feel of the bath in an OKW studio. I think that angle helps make it feel large.
