I like the vibe at OKW. Both resorts are nice, and OKW in some ways is showing its age. But I concur on the huge room sizes being a nice feature, and I just like the very laid back atmosphere. It feels like it's in the middle of nowhere while still being convenient to Disney Springs and even Epcot and MK. SSR feels a little more urban to me -- more in the thick of things, and more sort of upscale in a "Saratoga Springs" kind of way. OKW has the vibe of Key West. They're both great, and I think it's worth trying both to see which one appeals more to you. Maybe go check out the restaurants or public areas of whichever one you don't stay in, and see if the atmosphere of one appeals more to you than the other.
there are no bad choices!!
