Again, I’d be careful about wishing for a DVC switch, if you’re 4 or less, you’re likely to get a studio. SSR sleeps 4, but 1 bed is a sleeper. OKW has 2 beds. If you’re in a value, those are the 2 most likely resorts. They really have no advantage over a standard room.
I love OKW, it’s one of the resorts we had for our trip. But transportation is internal and it’s slow. We never stay there without using a MinnieVan or Uber, and
I don’t know that Uber will be an option. We stayed at SSR once. It’s just too remote, and not our favorite. But these were 1 and 2 br villas, not studios.
If they do go with this, they have to have more expensive DVC’s for those in moderates.
Just saying, be careful what you wish for.
Yes, I agree. We are a family of 3 and now that DS12 is bigger (bigger than me!), he is really uncomfortable on the studio pull-out sofas. I read a rumor on here that if we are "offered" an upgrade to DVC, we either take it or we will be canceled. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I also do not want to be at SSR or OKW for the reasons you state.
I hope they don’t overcrowd DVC before the parks open. Without the parks keeping people moving around, Beach Club Villas at full capacity would have over 1,100 people around a pool the size of backyard in ground pool. Even a 10th of the hotel capacity could not socially distance around that pool. Limited resort restaurants would work there because there will be more people eating there without walking into Epcot or going to Disney Springs. There are already nights with no availability in Beach Club studio rooms/2-bedroom lock off villas during the odd time between DVC and parks opening. Beach Club Villas booked more solidly after opening of parks. This is just the one I’m watching because we are still hanging onto a reservation there.
Yes, I agree with this as well. I love BC and BCV, and I understand they would want to accommodate as many people as possible, but moving everyone from, say, non-DVC resorts to DVC resorts and their resort-side counterparts, I fear a very crowded situation - particularly BC where the QS is so small. Plus the rumor that they may not open SAB. I don't know. I've become very discouraged by this whole process (we were supposed to be there mid-March and are on our second reschedule as many others are - some more!). I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
