SSR Pros: newer villas, can walk easily to DTD, themed pool, Artist Palatte
SSR Cons: outside entrances, furniture is too large for the room, long walks to the pool
OKW Cons: Not close to parks (like our BWV home)
How is BWV closer to MK than OKWand actually OKW is probably just as close to the front Gate of Epcot is BWV is to the front gate of Epcot.
We have stayed many times at OKW and SSR and had friends at the BWV who took the boat to Epcot and the Studios and we always beat them there.
So while visually the perception of being close to the parks exists at the BWV but in reality, I am not sure time wise there is much difference.
All 3 resorts offer a lot and are fun places to stay but I really do not get the park advantage at any resort except the new BLT to MK.
I'm trying to figure out why someone would take a boat from BWV to EPCOT. It is much quicker to walk! Plus you don't have to wait on the boat. I wouldn't use that boat unless I was injured, had a nasty blister, or it was raining.We have stayed many times at OKW and SSR and had friends at the BWV who took the boat to Epcot and the Studios and we always beat them there. ...
