SSR questions for 2020
We love SSR and have been three times in the past few years.
We are looking to book Summer 2020 with DDP and will probably book in 2 weeks time into a deluxe resort and hopefully change to SSR at 330 days out. My main questions are: 1. How extensive is the refurbishment project into summer 2020 and would it be quite disruptive? 2. How does OKW compare to SSR for those who have stayed at both? 3. Are our chances good of getting SSR at 330 days out? ( I am assuming Disney will only charge the difference if we swapped?)? Many thanks in advance - would love to go next year but can defer until 2021. |

We have stayed at both OKW & SSR, and both are lovely resorts and I would be happy staying in either.
Last year we booked POFQ with the hope of upgrading to either OKW & SSR. It was well past the 330 day mark before OKW was available and we transferred our booking for only the difference in price. SSR did not appear for our dates while the free ddp was on offer, although there were dates when it was.

Hi folks, we’re looking to book OKW for 4th January, 2020. Would that date be available on April 25th as it’s inside the 330 day window?

We are thinking SSR for August next year but would also like to know about the refurbishment? Would rather just go for POR if there is a lot of work being done over that period. DH prefers SSR but probably wouldn't be too happy if the works caused a lot of disruption. Will be good to know if anyone has further information on it.

I have stayed at both and am in much the same position re 2020. We will be travelling with a 6 and 4 year old.
OKW: I prefer the sandcastle pool over the main pool at SSR Bigger rooms, compairing old with old I prefer the OKW decor. I think from what I have seen the same applies for the refurbished at both I love the keys theming SSR: The secondary pools are a lot nicer, I love the grandstand pool. Much better quick service offerings, those at OKW are little better than the pool bar at the Springs pool. Location is much better for Disney Springs, plus the resort isn’t as spread out as OKW so a lot easier to get around. I think the studio at SSR is a better design than OKW for 2 people and a baby, given the sofa area, but better at OKW for 4 given two proper beds. We will be needing a 2 bed and a studio, I was tending towards SSR until I read about the refurb (which I had expected would be well underway by now not just starting). On balance I think we are likely to be heading back to OKW next year as it will ensure that we get a refurbished room and no construction impact. However first I want to see what the price difference is vs other deluxe villa resorts that have been added this year. |

Thanks everyone for your replies - keep them coming in. Never really been in this situation in all my years of visiting Disney
