If BCV or BWV not avail/which one

[debbie in Seattle]

If I can't get a unit at the BWV or BCV for early December, which other DVC should I consider and why?
What is Old Key West like?
Saratoga Springs?
What is the difference in the 2 bedroom units?
Positives, negatives.
Just my sister and I (old bags) don't need to be near a pool, etc. Going to enjoy the Christmas decorations.

Debbie-

I am very partial to OKW. The rooms are about 30% larger than any other resort in Disney. The Jacuzzi in the 1 and 2 bedroom rooms is also much bigger than in any other resort. I also find OKW to be quieter and more laid back.

The biggest drawback is the distance to everywhere. I do miss the dining and shopping available at BWV etc. The boat only goes to DD otherwise you have to rely on busses. The busses also stop several times within the resort so there is a wait either coming in or leaving (depending on what building you are in) I really dont mind being on the busses but some people despise it.

The only difference between the 2 bedroom and a 1 bedroom is that they attach a studio to the room.

Saratoga has much nicer decor than OKW but the rooms are much smaller. You also have the ability to walk to DD in about 10 minutes which is nice if you go there a lot.

Hope that helps
