We have just decided we can manage a 2 week visit in Jan/Feb 2011 if we budget nicely
Pricing things up, SSR and OKW have a discount, and the studios are affordable to us. We wanted somewhere with access to bars and restaurants on the evening without us having to drive or take the bus, and as we can't afford to stay in the Boardwalk area then DTD will do very nicely! The balcony/patio is also something we will truly appreciate and use.
Thing is, we don't know much about these resorts, and searching and reading about them has clarified some things, raised questions about others, and left us totally confused as to which is preferable! We know we can walk pretty easily from SSR to DTD, but can easily get the boat from OKW, so am I right in thinking that access to DTD from either is going to be fine? Location-wise, are there advantages with either above the other?
The other, and maybe more important point, is that many reviews seemed to say that OKW studios are a bit shabby and old (I must say, I thought they looked a little old-fashioned on the pics I'd seen). I know they're being renovated, but I worry that if we don't get a renovated room we'll be disappointed.
Then I read other reviews that said SSR rooms were looking dated also....so I guess I'm asking for feedback on the state of the rooms. I hear rave reviews about the villas in each, but as we can only stretch to a studio (there will only be the 2 of us anyway) I'm not so sure about them.
I think I have rambled a bit but any help would be most appreciated, thank you!
