OKW GV from BWV 2BR Pros v. Cons

[nodipopp]

Hi All,
We are thinking about booking an OKW 3 BR this time instead of squeezing 9 adults into a 2BR at BWV. Kids have grown and the pull outs are no longer a comfortable option for a 7 night stay. Has anyone made this switch, or familiar with both resorts to make a good comparison? I would love to hear your opinions/experiences with OKW. TIA

We have stayed in an OKW Grand Villa, it was amazing. Basically 4 bathrooms the fourth with a shower/no tub.
own at the BW and did not know that 9 adults can stay in a 2 bedroom at the BW. Even if it is permitted there is no way I would do it, not enough room or bathrooms.

Thank you. After a spirited family debate we are going to shoot for the 3BR at BWV first, then if not available we will go for the 3BR at OKW. I'm hoping for OKW. And now we wait......

I agree 9 adults and only 2 bathrooms, no way I would do that.

I agree 9 adults and only 2 bathrooms, no way I would do that.

Plus only 2 real beds (1 king and 1 queen).

One of the bedrooms upstairs at OKW only has two double beds in it instead of two queen beds. It's a smaller bedroom. The other one upstairs is much larger and has two queen beds. Plus you have the queen sleeper sofa and the twin sized sleeper chair in the living room. You didn't say when you were planning on going. If you are looking at booking the GV at seven months out at OKW, you might have a problem getting it for all your days. The low point cost makes it pretty popular.

Also, BWV only has seven (or eight, I forget) GV. So you need to book those right at eleven months out. Maybe even walk the reservation.

We are calling on Wednesday to book for May 2016-7 months out. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to get in at either one of the chosen resorts. I have been watching the availability via DVC website and some days there is a 3BR available at BWV and some days not. We could always go to 2- 2 BR units, but we would rather all be together.
