Why do people think BWV's rooms are tiny?

[Granny]

dvcreg....great points about the smilies.

Sometimes I'm thinking that I'm overdoing them, but you're right, they do help clarify that something is meant as a joke or silly statement. Without them, everything looks very serious and there is no way to determine intent!

I thought a lot of this was good-natured ribbing as well but I think I'll just stay away from any comments about other resorts that might be construed as negative.

Fortunately, my "home" is VWL which seems to get left out of the running feud for the most part.

This is great! Richyams has incited a 2 page debate and he hasn't even posted. You're really getting good at this, Rich.

Makes you wonder who has more magic....Walt or Rich !?

Before our first DVC trip this past November (we bought a BWV resale in Feb), we were SO disappointed that we could only get OKW, but were put on a waitlist for BWV. Much to our relief, the waitlist came through.
While staying at BWV...in one of those WAY FAR rooms that made me think of Richyams every time we came or went LOL (but hey, I worked off many All You Can Eat buffets that way)...we found some time to check out OKW, and were pleasantly surprised! One of our favorite things was (and I know this may not seem big to many people) the separate laundry room! It was somewhat bothersome at BWV that our laundry baskets had to be in the entry hallway.

OKW was quite a lovely resort (they let us see a 2 BR), and our lunch at Olivia's was one of our favorite meals of the week...good food, wonderfully friendly service. The resort was very peaceful. We decided that A) if we got "stuck" with OKW in the future, it would be just fine, and B) we might even plan to stay there some day.

Our favorite resort? Definitely BWV. WE love being in the middle of activity, we love being able to do a lot of walking to parks (beyond the hikes down the hallway ), we loved being able to easily split up so, for instance, DH and DS could head back to BWV, while the girls and I hang out in EPCOT/MGM. And the room size was just fine.

And I will ALWAYS be grateful to Richyams for heading me in the right direction to our purchase of BWV.

sometimes I think we all take this stuff way to seriously....I can definetly see the humour in having to bring a screwdriver and hammer to OKW....It sounds like a joke to me, rather then a putdown....I think finding humour in all of this is great!!!...I mean I think that having to bring a compass and sextant with you when trying to find the ice machine at BWV is quite hilarious, and I hope no one takes that as a putdown.

 

[Lesley]

Compass, eh? I'll put that on my packing list!

 

[Richyams]

Bump

I was really looking forward to"Richyams" reply to this thread.Maybe he is still thinking about his response,

As long as we are discussing long winded topics - should dogs be considered as one of the occupants of a DVC unit?

 

[Regina]

Oh no you don't!!!

No "O", no "Fido".

Just the ever popular "my resort is bigger than your resort" is allowed.

 

[Deb & Bill]

What about three dogs if you already have two people in a studio? Are you breaking two rules?

What if you have a family of three, and two of the family members require guide dogs. Can all five stay in a studio?

 

[Regina]

LOLOLOL!!

 

[JackDiznee]

Two medium sized dogs should equal one person.

Now, that does not apply to cats. Leave them home. (Sorry, cat lovers - but they are the handmaidens of Satan)

 

[dianeschlicht]

I see you bumped this Rich! Are you having a good laugh?! It's great to see some real levity on this board.

 

[Regina]

Nope, you're not going to slip in cats to this thread.

We don't want everyone on the Community Board heading over here with their kitties in tow.

Besides that, the rooms at the BWV and VWL are sooo small that there wouldn't be room for a litter box.

 

[TnRobin]

Stop it Stop it. I can't read any more of this thread. I am about to fall in the floor from laughing. I think it was Rich's "Response" that put me over the edge. ROFL

 

[DVCajun]

I actually enjoy the sparring about OKW and BWV. Of course, I'm totally serious when I say that OKW is inferior in every way to BWV.


Oh yeah.... I almost forgot to

 

[Towncrier]

OKW RULES!!!

(Now go away or I will taunt you a second time)

My only question (with apologies to ohiomickey) is:
"Can a dog stay at VWL if it brings it's own Aero bed???"

 

[Dean]

Back to the more serious side of this post. There is a pretty good difference in size and function between OKW and the other WDW DVC resorts. All are great resorts so it depends on what's important. We like them all but find that we enjoy OKW best because of the space, laid back feel and parking right in front. For us a family of 4 (2 teens one of each gender) with a 2 BR at any resort, we would be fine. In 1999, we would not have been OK at the other resorts. We had 12 or 13 people with a 2 BR and 2 studios using the kitchen of the 2 BR for all. That would not have worked well at the other resorts because of the limited kitchen and dining areas. We would have had to get two 2 BR but since we were still using free tickets, that would not have worked either.

Frankly, I've see extremely little on this topic over the years that wasn't largely in gest. You guys do know that Rich is rolling in the floor laughing everytime that you guys take his posts so seriously.

We have points at both OKW and BWV. When we enter our suite at OKW it reminds us of the canyons we go through on Big thunder mountain. When we enter our efficiency at BWV we hear "It's a small room after all" ringing through our heads ......spruce
