We are staying at SSR for the first time for Labor Day weekend. I have been doing lots of research and watching videos to familiarize myself with this resort. There will be 10 of us (6 adults, 3 kids, plus 1 infant) in a 2 BR Villa, Resort View. I requested to be at Paddock near the pool. I really never imagined staying here before, but I think we will like it with all of the pools for the kids, plus being close to DS. We debated between AKV Kidani for the third bathroom or SSR for the murphy bed. In the end, the murphy bed won out.
SSR accommodations are much more modern than Kidani at this point. Kidani 2 bedroom villas are about 100 sqft larger, IDK how much of that is taken up by the extra bathroom though. Probably a decent amount. I definitely agree having the murphy bed would make the difference. Putting the kids on the couch bed would be fine but if adults will need to sleep on it, you'll definitely want the murphy bed.
Once Kidani is refurbished, man that gets to be a tough decision though.
