Which Grand Villa is your favorite and why?

[princess girls]

Hi everyone!
We are planning a Christmas 2005 Family Gathering and are trying to decide which Grand Villa has the most room and just overall look of it. Looking at the Grand Villa pics of SSR (our home) makes us a little weary about having the divided dining/living room. We have 10-12 people coming and going in that week. I like a more open space in the living/kitchen area. We plan to look at SSR GV when we are there soon.
Let us know what your thoughts are and thank you in advance!

I have to agree, the pictures of the SSR GV do look a bit cramped. I think the OKW GVs are very spacious, but the kitchen/dining there is also seperate from the big two story high living room. There is, however, another table and chairs in the LR, and I am not sure that is true at SSR. BWV one floor GVs seem to be open between the dining and living room areas. Personally, I don't think you could go wrong in ANY GV, and if you have 11 month booking priveledges at one or the other, I would let that be the deciding factor.

You have to remember that the OKW Grand Villas are difficult to book, and you only get the 7 month window. Your best bet is to get something at your home resort at 11 months and hope for the best. Sometime OKW owners have problems booking the GV's, especially at the holidays.

We have never had a problem booking an OKW GV, but we usually do it day by day during what is a popular DVC time.
