OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

[Chuck S]

Inquiring minds wonder why HH buildings are the same point "cost", yet the equivalent buildings (closer to the main building and FF) at SSR are more points? Was there a time when all the rooms at OKW "cost" the same points? Then when the resort was split into 2 building categories was there something that prevented OKW from changing the points for some buildings? Although I do remember staying at SSR once in Congress Park when all of SSR point values were the same. However, that was way back when Congress Park was one of just a few buildings available. Not much of the resort had been completed yet, so maybe when the entire resort was completed, SSR was split into 2 categories. Anyone remember?

Yes, the HH booking category was created after the resort had been open a while, and the points just never got an adjustment. But it seems to be working fine as is.

I hope they don't make the HH category more expensive, like it is at SSR. I don't know how the SSR owners put up with that!

When my 11 month window opened up for early December, could not book HH. People walked

Many employees park in the parking lot by the marketplace/main lobby limiting spaces.

On the positive, IF they do increase points for near HH (I also hope they don't, even though I rarely book it) the rest of the resort would adjust to a few points lower. But, honestly, I just don't think they will adjust it this late in the game for a 2042 resort, even with some extensions to 2057. I didn't extend, as I have no direct heirs, and by 2057, I'll be 98 years old, or more likely, no longer functioning within normal parameters.

The category “split” at OKW seems to have been done the same easy way as the BWV split, where the Preferred view category was split into BW view and P/G view without any changes in point costs. So no need to make sure total points for the resort remained the same.

When SSR was split though they did change points. Maybe the arithmetic was easier at SSR than at OKW, or they had a math-whiz intern who loved the challenge of increasing the points costs of villas in some buildings while decreasing in a larger number of other buildings and still keeping the total number of points for SSR the same.

Hmm, something just occurred to me. When did the increase in SSR Treehouse points happen in relation to the preferred and standard split? Were they done together? Did 2BR points change when Treehouse points were increased?
