Thanks!

OKW

 

[zulaya]

OKW has the largest rooms in terms of square footage.

 

[MarylandPizzaman]

It is also the farthest away from everything!

 

[Richyams]

OKW has the largest rooms in terms of square footage.

Also in terms of volume.

It is presently the closest resort to DD, PI, MP. Its right next door to the new SSR.

If hallways count as rooms, BWV by far!!!

 

[Richyams]

Doc, do you have the room sizes by volume?

Not necessarily a bad thing.

LOL ! You're not kidding......I experienced this first-hand this past August ! I felt it was a very stiff (but doable) hike to Epcot from my room location

 

[dianeschlicht]

Yes, OKW has the largest rooms, the best buses and is far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel like a vacation. OKW also has easy access to your vehicle if you have one, because you can park right outside your unit. Three of the buildings have elelvators, otherwise the handicapped rooms are all first floor facilities. Oh yes, and NO LONG HALLWAYS!

Enjoy the "debate" you may have started here on our friendly little DVC board!

 

[Sammy]

Oops! As a newbie, I had no idea there was a "history" behind this topic!! As far as the loooong walk to Epcot from BWV, we just returned from the Dolphin and walked several times back and forth......it can't be much further from there, can it??

 

[CRobin]

Don't apologize, Sammy.

The fun thing about this board is you get both facts and opinions.

The difficult thing is sometimes making the distinction (both from the poster's and the reader's perspective).

Fact: OKW has the biggest rooms.

Other Fact: The walk from Epcot to Swan / Dolphin is about the same as to BWV.

Yet another fact: Everyone has a favorite resort.

 

[Richyams]

Its not that its further from the park, its the hallways.

Somehow the Disney Magic machine was able to put 1.2 miles of hallway in a building only a fraction of that distance.

When you begin the trek to your room, its not that bad, you walk to the end of the huge lobby and then enter the first hallway.....the end vanishes in the distance on the horizon.....you finally reach that first goal, begining to feel worse for the wear.....turn that corner and another endless hallway reaches to the horizon......many members feel there should be a rest stop somewhere along this expanse......reaching the end of this leg of your journey brings relief, but alas, its only temperory as you round that corner and see yet another endless corridor stretched out before you......

It exhausts me just reliving that trying experience again in my mind.

............SNIP

Here are a different set of numbers for BWV
Studio: 412 sq. ft.
1 BR: 814 sq. ft.
2 BR: 1226 sq. ft.
GV: 2491 sq. ft. and 2584 sq. ft.


I know when I've posted this information here before many people have questioned its validity. The information was provided to me on a printout by a DVC Rep. and has since been validated by a WDW employee via the Boardwalk Page on the WDW Cast Portal.

If these numbers are correct it makes the BWV GV the largest DVC room in terms of sq. ft. I have no idea why there is a discrepancy or which numbers are correct. I only offer it as food for thought.

These number MUST include the hallway space in front of the units, that MONSTER balcony and the bath room from next door.

Sorry, this is not correct information. Check your paperwork from when you purchased.

As I Said in my post "I have no idea which numbers are correct."
The infrormation I provided is from an offical Disney source where Doc stated his source was this site.

I have not taken out my tape measure to verify their validity, I only provided it for informational purposes. So please don't flame me for providing offical information you may disagree with.
