    OKW lovers thread !!!

    Ed was terminated by management this past Monday. Fifteen members met with management on Tuesday to express our anger and loss. I urge everyone to write to management at Disney and OKW. Perhaps if they hear from enough members they will listen to the will of the members.

    Anyone been to chef mickeys recently?

    We just ate at Chef Mickey's about two weeks ago. The food was all-American and very good. Not fancy, not gourmet - just really good food!!! No complaints from our group! And, we had a great time!

    Cleaning question

    People - when a Studio is cleaned on a check-out the mousekeeper is to defrost the fridge - do you really think the guests defrost the fridge. If you check-in and the fridge is off - well, the mousekeeper turned it off and didn't remember to go back and turn it on. I really didn't mean this to...

    Cleaning question

    I always tell the housekeeper that I have shut it off - usually I have them come in the room and show them. I am always running late and I want to save them as much time as possible.

    Cleaning question

    We stay in a Studio. Towles in the tub - all trash out. I shut of the mini-fridge and lay a bath towel down in case the defrost runs over. This save the cleaning crew the time of waiting for the fridge to defrost.

    The good the bad the ugly of OKW renovations (update pg 13)

    I agree - the updates were really just patches. The painted furniture is chipping - the bathroom mirror is chipping - the caulking in the bathroom is chipping - and the blinds on the patio door are chipping me!! Housekeeping has always been an issue at OKW. They don't take the time to...

    Disney Transportation is stressing me..almost ready to rent a car!

    Quite simple really - go to the bus stand - get of the first bus to the closet park - hopefully MK. Get of the bus and go to the bus stand for the resort you wish to go to. Now if you are going to be coming back late I would suggest taking the DTD bus as they run very late - and reverse the...

    The good the bad the ugly of OKW renovations (update pg 13)

    My favorite so far... we have friends at OKW right now. The text message they sent...... looks like a 1941 Holiday Inn.

    Main pool closed at OKW

    I just called MS to question the memo on the ressie. They put me on hold - the music tape was broken - that was pleasant. Well, they came back on - and could not understand the error. The only pool that is closed is at Saratoga. So good new for all going to OKW in April.

    OKW lovers thread !!!

    I can only speak for Miller Road - I sit at that pool for about six weeks a year. They took out the swings and never replaced them. We rarely see children in the Miller Road pool. Most like the HH pool area - so much more to do with playground, parties, sand castle area, game room, etc. etc. etc.

    There is no playground area at the Miller's Road pool! The removed the playground several years ago - not there are only the grills and a picnic table.

    The good the bad the ugly of OKW renovations (update pg 13)

    Our friends are at OKW in a two bedroom. I don't think much thought went into this project at all. They don't like the blinds - I don't think anyone will - the nasty coffee table - the dark wood, etc. etc. But, I think the biggest disappointment for me is the lack of thought for the owners...

    smoking in villas

    It seems with Disney whatever the infraction of the rules the answer is not to correct the problem, but to move you. We have had many problems with guests in neighboring rooms. When we report it - the front desk answer is always to move us. Why should our vacation be disrupted because of...

    Studio for 10 days - Are we nuts?

    We always came for a month in a two bedroom - it was wonderful. But, I became very spoiled and wanted to stay longer - so we tried a studio and I loved it. There are only two of us - and it works out great - also we are at OKW where the rooms are much bigger. When my daughter comes she gets...
