As owners at OKW we would naturally favor it. I have stayed at SS and it was nice as well but the size of the villas at OKW is a big plus and the boat to DTD is just great. We have found the bus service at OKW to be very good as well. Good luck!

Both resorts don't have the themeing like AKL, but they both have their perks.
Both are rather spread out with, so you may have a walk to the lobby depending on where you are located.
We are a family of six as well and our kids love the pools at SSR. I wasn't that impressed with the OKW pools
Our home resort is SS and we LOVE SS. We love the decor, the landscaping and the whole feel of the place.
OKW rooms have more space, but in my opinion, the place just felt older not as neat as SSR. We would go back, but if I had to choose between the two, we'd go with SSR.

There is a mathematical formula I like to use to precisely compare these two resorts.
It is commonly expressed thusly:
OKW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SS

We were not a fan of OKW due to the size of the resort. We really needed our car to get around and I am not afraid to walk. You just have to walk to everything. The rooms are larger but the space is wasted. They did not feel that much larger to us. It also had 2 beds and no sofa (studio) so you had to sit at the small table or on the bed. For half the trip we were in a 2 bedroom and it also did not feel larger than other resorts other than the large balcony. We had a fairway view and 3 of the 4 mornings they were mowing at 7 am. The busses stopped at about 6 stops before exiting the resort. Olivia's had some preetty good food tho.

We have done both resorts several times, and we will always choose OKW over SS. SS is a decent place, but OKW rooms are roomier, the layout is nicer, and it just has a much better feel for us. I give SS a plus on the counter service for food. Bus service from both are very similar - stops throughout the resort before you get to a park of DTD. If you get a reservation at OKW, I'd recommend you request a room as close to the main buidling as possible. Sometimes they can do that for you. Have a great trip.

I have to go with OKW. The point cost is cheaper, larger rooms, added chair bed after refurb. At OKW, you can book a room near the hospitality house. It is a room type, like pool view or standard but it is the same amount of points as a standard room. The biggest drawback for OKW is their tiny counter service, although SS isnt a whole lot better. Bottom line, I like both resorts, while neither are my favorite, cheaper points than most, especially OKW.

Parking at OKW is much closer to the room than SS. It's a plus for unloading, loading, zipping over to hospitality house or driving to the parks if you don't want to take a bus.
