OKW or SSR?

I can not decide need to add a couple of nights using points. OKW and SSR are available what would you choose and why? Thank you!!

What room type? A studio?

A studio, thanks

SSR would be my choice. I like the pools better and its closer to DS, some buildings are an easy walk and others just a short boat ride away from all those new restaurants.

I'd choose SSR too. They have two full-size pools and are so close to Disney Springs.

OKW studio has two real queen sized beds. SSR has one real queen sized bed and one double sleeper sofa. You can take the boat to Disney Springs from OKW as well. However, most buildings do not have elevators. So you might be walking up stairs.

We have stayed at both several times. Here are my pros/cons for each:
SSR Pros: walking distance to DS, dinner at the Turf Club Cons: Depending on where you are, buses can take awhile, huge and maze like place
OKW Pros: the studios are HUGE! we also like Olivia's restaurant, quaint atmosphere especially on the boardwalk, boat to DS; Cons: Depending on where you are, buses can take awhile; counter-service is outside on the boardwalk

Enjoy!

I think you're good either way, we prefer OKW but have a DVC contract at both resorts.

I much prefer OKW. Larger rooms, parking near your front door, décor and atmosphere more like Florida and not some huge condo complex (SSR) that could be anywhere in the USA. The SSR proximity to Disney Springs is over rated, unless that is the only place you are going to visit.
