Why do people think BWV's rooms are tiny?

[Dizzy4Dizney]

I've noticed a few people commenting on the fact that the rooms at the BWV are "tiny". I don't understand. I don't think they are tiny at all. Granted, the rooms at OKW are bigger, but I felt that OKW was more run down. Maybe because it's older. We hated OKW and won't stay there again. I guess it's a matter of opinion.

OUCH!!!

That's going to start some fireworks.

 

[Dizzy4Dizney]

Hey, some people don't like the BWV's. I just don't understand why they are referred to as "tiny". A Motel 6 room is tiny!

Same with VWL. Our first apartment was smaller than a 2 bedroom at VWL and we lived there for a year!!

And compared to the tiny room we had at DxL a VWL 2 bedroom is a mansion!

Guess it's all perspective and what you're expectations are and what you're used to.

It's true the BWV rooms are smaller than OKW but then we don't have to bring a hammer and screwdriver with us on vacation. It all evens out.

Dizzy....I believe our friend RichYams enjoys calling BWV and VWL rooms "tiny". I think he enjoys seeing responses like this.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if everyone thought these resorts had tiny rooms....sure would make it easier to book them!

 

[PamOKW]

And where do you need to bring a hammer and screwdriver?

The resorts are all different. Some folks like one, some like them all. Some people like taking "shots" at other resorts....maybe to get a rise out of their neighbors.

Pam I agree totally. This is why I don't post here much anymore. I cannot understand all the putdowns on this board. The whole point of ALL the Disney resorts is that there is something for everyone. No the rooms at BWV and WLV are NOT tiny and the rooms at OKW do NOT need a hammer and screwdriver and are NOT run down. Why is so hard for people to accept the fact that everyone has different tastes and needs? I usually enjoy reading posts from people telling others about their vacations and asking questions, but putdowns are not fun and take away from the real point of this forum.

You're exactly right DisneyMim.

I think that it's fantastic that DVC has become a whole system of unique resorts.

Why we have this constant "my resort is bigger/better than your resort" baffles me.

It would be wonderful if everyone would respect each other's decision as to where they prefer to stay, and not feel it necessary to bolster their own opinions by belittling the other resorts.

Well said DisneyMim. I too enjoy reading these boards, but sometimes it is really depressing reading all the negative stuff. You just have to ignore it. I really think that there are some people out there who just enjoy getting a rise out of other people (I have a friend who does this), he doesn't really mean any harm and sometimes doesn't really realize he has taken things too far.

 

[ncligs]

I agree 100% DisneyMim!!!!!!!!!

We own at BWV and VWL and we are very happy with our resorts. The reviews (or opinions) are interesting and provide lots of information, but we are not going to sell or get upset because someone prefers OKW. We may also try OKW sometime.
To each their own!

WOW !!! I can't wait for RICHYAMS to weigh in on this one. Wow !, worn and run down you say, about OKW.....wewh !, you mean like a public housing project............a chanty.....the wrong side of the RailRoad Track.......????

One thing about RICHYAMS, I love his knowledge and input. He was instrumental in our own decision to buy. BUT, I also know his sense of humor. He is one of these guys that loves to give an occasional, harmless dig. I love the guy, but I know when, and when NOT to take him serioulsy.

He is probably sitting on the sidelines right now watching this thread and laughing at the storm he has brewed.

Let's NOT take everything serioulsy, after all every thread (posts) is nothing more than someone elses opinion, including your threads (posts). "Tiny", we ALL know is an exageration, nothing more. If you don't know, well you should know the rooms are smaller at BWV, and WLV compared to OKW. I OWN at BWV and WLV, and I could care less what size rooms are at OKW. I like what I bought, if I liked OKW I would have bought there.

I am also mature enough NOT to get offended and bent out of shape at somone's HARMLESS sense of humor. If your skin is SO thin that you take offense to his transparent humor, then so be it !!!! Don't post on these boards........or anywhere else for that matter, you might get offended.

 

[SnowWitch]

KNow before you flame me this is meant as a joke!!!!hehehehe

To some size obviously matters.

 

[Lesley]

Gee, I always thought there was a friendly "ribbing" sort of thing going on here.....BWV rooms are "tiny", OKW is the "retirement village", and VWL has nothing to offer anyone in their right mind....RIGHT?

And we all know the next resort is the long awaited Tent City Villas along I4

Sometimes I think we all take each other waaaaaayyyy too seriously!

When you're dealing with a message board, you can't assume that people can read between the lines.

It's very easy to click on a smilie and add or

Sometimes, I'll read something and think

Then I see that little and I know that it's not meant to be taken seriously.

This would help a lot if people don't want to come across as being mean-spirited.

 

[one_cat]

That's why I don't spend too much time on the DVC board anymore. Some people here don't understand humor. OKW is a beautiful resort as are all the other DVC resorts and they are all kept in tip-top shape as far as I can tell. Seriously - are you guys really worried about having to bring a hammer and screwdriver with you on vacation?

 

[DVCDAVE]

DVCREG;

Good point about the s. Your point compliments mine about some good old fashion, transparent humor being taken too seriously due to the limitations of the written word and the personalities behind those words.

 

[dianeschlicht]

okey, Just to set the record straight...
BWV and VWL are small hotel rooms...
OKW is a large townhome...
Got it?

 

[Nanajo1]

Sometimes the way these threads go on and on and then are resurected makes me think some folks have too much time on their hands!
