Would you trade a BB at a value resort for a unique code at SSR or OKW?

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

I'm currently staying at Movies with a 35% BB discount and wanted to switch to Poly but nothing has been available.

Got a 40% code to stay at SSR or OKW in a deluxe studio and I'm just debating if its really worth it?
They are not an ideal location for me and they just seem kinda "dingy"
Plus with this offer I'd have to book room and tickets separately.

What I do like is the deluxe extended evening hours but I could also just use my BB offer at a different deluxe and get that.

Anything I'm missing as to why I should change from what I have?

We've stayed at OKW and SSR, and I can assure you 'dingy' is not a word that comes to mind! We've done OKW way more, and it's a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. I agree the location might not be ideal with OKW or SSR, but it's not going to be ideal for Movies either. At least at SSR, you'd be within walking distance of Disney Springs, if that's of interest.

If EEH are important for you, perhaps make the move. If not, perhaps just enjoy the Movies resort!

Just my opinion here, but I suppose that's what you're asking for:

There's probably not a lot of debate unless the price, after discounts/tickets, is a big difference. You're talking about the difference between a value and deluxe resort. If the cost is relatively the same, it's a major upgrade to stay at Old Key West or Saratoga Springs, even if they are not the Polynesian or Grand Floridian.

They are definitely less convenient than monorail loop or Crescent Lake deluxes, and their prices reflect that. But, they are definitely maintained to the same standard.

This is not meant to disparage value resorts. They are wonderful and charming in their own right and have their own place in the world. With that said, they are not deluxe resorts.

I take issue with the word "dingy". This isn't accurate at all.

Id swap to SSR in a heartbeat. Esp walking in to DS. Plus, are you going to Movies when the Food Court is going to be closed for refurbishment?

I wouldn’t call any deluxe dingy, I would jump on moving to one regardless. I’m just not wild about the location of OKW and SSR which is the main reason why I haven’t stayed at either yet, but tbh it’s no worse than Movies and you could do a lot worse than being a boat ride or short walk to Disney Springs. Personally I would look at a mono or crescent lake resort though, I have a hard time with deluxes that don’t have park proximity personally. If you plan to do extended hours, it’s so much more convenient being able to just walk home afterwards instead of waiting on buses.
