Last May we were upgraded from a value at $59 to a 1 br villa at OKW for the same price.

Disney must have known what they were doing because we did buy at OKW this year.

We like the very laid back feeling and not having icons in our face. After a day in the park we need to relax and yet still feel like we are in Florida. OKW does that for us. We spend all the money to travel so why would we want to feel like we were in upstate NY? It has a wonderful boat ride to DTD and DS loves to go there at nite with DH.

We listen to Jimmy Buffet and home and are parrot heads so we like being by the pool with the music. I found the buses located very nicely and it was just a quick walk away on for us. The main bldg was a bit of a walk but nice to do in the morning.

Love OKW but don't let the secret out, it is the best resort IMO

I'm sitting here waiting and waiting for my small piece of property to sell,,I know I have to be patient but this thread helps me remember to be patient.
I had one inquiry last week but they were offering alot less than listing price so my dreams of owning at OKW will just have to be that until I sell .
The cat got sick while I was away in Disney world in March and I swear I could have bought a small contract at OKW with the cost--so far $1,750.00.I should of become a vet.
Thanks for posting guys

Laid back, relaxing, away from it all feel, Gurgling Suitcase, Large well appointed rooms, friendly staff, Gurgling Suitcase, Nice feature pool, can park right in front of your room, Gurgling Suitcase, Great balconies with golf views, boatride to DTD, and just in case I forgot, the Gurgling Suitcase!

I agree with everything you said-especially Gurgling Suitcase!

We enjoy our "first Vacation toast" so much, actually dissappointed when our room is ready early!

I don't know if Ramona is still there, but I have never had a better margarita. She makes them better than the Epcot restaurant in Mexico!

LarryK · 04-21-2007, 07:38 AM

Yes, Ramona is, but I still kinda miss Russ and Robbie. They were talkers!

bababear_50 · 04-21-2007, 08:10 AM

OKW it's the best

littlestar · 04-21-2007, 08:43 AM

I love OKW. Palm trees, pastel buildings trimmed in white railings, beautiful flowers. ahhh

snowwhitemom · 04-21-2007, 04:04 PM

Wow....I have stayed at OKW at least twice a year for the past decade and I did not know about Gurgling suitcase.....I will check it out say on June 2nd when I arrive...yeah thins for the Hot tip on a cool drink...cant wait!!!

mickeysaver · 04-21-2007, 06:54 PM

I love this thread. We are staying for the first time in October. I can't wait to be spoiled. After 4 nights away from WDW in regular hotel rooms, it's going to be awesome to be able to spread out and relax.

I am secretly hoping to use this trip to help show Gabby exactly why DVC is a purchase that we should be making. Maggie
