I will be honest. OKW is our home, but we like it the least. The resort reminds me of an apartment complex. When I am on vacation I want to be in a full service hotel with all the amnenties of home. Boardwalk gives you the best of both worlds and it is so convenient. I would choose convenience over size any day, but everybody has different preferences. We are trying Beach Club for the first time next year and I can't wait.
A lot of you may be wondering why we invested in OKW if that is our last choice. I teach at a Business University and my husband works in the world of finance. Since we are analytical in nature, we went with the best investment and OKW beats every property hands down. We decided it was worth the savings to take a chance on the 7 month window. Also, being forced to stay at OKW is not considered a hardship to us. We have stayed at OKW and have enjoyed ourselves very much.
The only way I could be convinced to invest in any other property besides OKW would be if I only visited WDW during Christmas (Peak Season).
