Just back from a fantastic 10-day trip (and going through post-Disney depression)! We stayed 5 nights at OKW and 5 nights at SSR. The 5 nights at SSR were by default because we delayed our trip due to Hurricane Wilma and couldn't get the last five nights at OKW. Well, what a great surprise! We absolutely loved SSR. Checked in Monday morning and signed on the dotted line for another 150 points by Wednesday afternoon!! Of course, I'm now immediately busy planning our next trip(s) to use our new annual passes and new June use-year points.
On another note, it was our first time staying at OKW and although it's a nice resort we just didn't feel the same Disney magic there. Our room (studio - 4520) was in dire need of a rehab. It just looked really, really worn. But we did like the quiet, laid-back feeling and loved the really, really quiet pool in our area. Maybe if we stayed in a one- or two-bedroom we would have felt differently.
DVC guide says she thinks they've got big things planned. Recently opened a California office and can now use points in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Can't wait to see what comes next!
