There is NO time limit here, sometimes (all the time) life gets in the way of DIS time, but you can always come back home. OKW review...yes please

Ok, so let's talk OKW. First off, we had a 2 BR villa. HOLY GUACAMOLE. The room was HUGE. I was in shock at how big it was! You walk in the front door and to the right is the laundry which leads to the master bath (toilet shower sink area - HUGE) which leads to another room that has another sink and the garden tub which leads into the master with a king size bed and door leading out to balcony. If you skip the laundry and continue down the hallway from the front door, there was another doorway into the master. Seriously this whole side of the house was so spacious I couldn't believe it. The only complaint I have is that there was no door from the garden tub room into the bedroom. Because my kids were also using my bathroom some, that was a bit awkward at times. But this is a minor complaint.
So, the other side - to the left, was the second bedroom. Two queen beds plus a small table and chairs. Much bigger than most hotel rooms. Bathroom had separate vanity area outside of the toilet/shower area. My in-laws shared with with my two girls. Lots of closet space too. This was a big big room.
Ok, further in to the room straight ahead was the kitchen and family room area. Family room has a chair, sofa and loveseat and open floor plan to the kitchen with dining table. Lots of flat surfaces and storage space here too. My son slept on the pull out chair. It is a memory foam mattress and he was in heaven. We never pulled out the sofa bed once he sat on the chair bed. We cooked eggs one morning but that was the extent of the cooking we did in the room. We did load the fridge with drinks and bring in pizza and salad one night.
Straight through the family room was a large deck overlooking the golf course. It was so close we could talk to the golfers on the putting green. Very cool! The deck had another 4 person table.
General resort feedback - I loved the room. It was great for the arrangement we had. This would have been too big for just the five of us (and too expensive) but it was great considering we had the in laws with us. Our building was pretty far back on the grounds. The walk to the feature pool was far. You could use the buses but that wasn't super convenient. We ended up taking the car a couple of times. The walk never bothered me at CBR in April where we were also far away but I think the heat makes a big difference. July was hot and when we came back midday for a swim (every day) we were HOT. We were much closer to Turtle Pond Pool. It was a good spot, not crowded with plenty of seating and a bar with snacks. We did that one day but my kids liked the main pool with the slide and the games.
Main pool - awesome. Big pool, great slide, fun poolside activities. As I said earlier, we stopped everyday midday for a swim except the last day when we hit the pool after breakfast. About the time we were heading to the pool, most people were leaving and we never had trouble finding chairs. The pool has lots of twists and turns and you couldn't see the water from where our spots were. This wasn't an issue for me as mostly, I was in the water with the kids (I loved the slide too). I also have three kids that are very strong swimmers so not an issue. We had a couple of yummy drinks and ice creams from the QS area.
Food options - this is probably my biggest issue with OKW and it doesn't overshadow our stay but I was disappointed about no indoor QS place. The options were pretty limited. Again, not a huge deal but definitely a step down from our last few resort stays. We did eat breakfast one morning at Olivias and it was fantastic - banana bread French toast - yes please! I would have tried dinner there too but it was pricey and I was feeling bad choosing so many expensive options.
The gift shop had a good variety of items but not much in the way of groceries - go offsite for that.
Transportation - the buses came often but there are a lot of bus stops. We don't mind this much as the buses are cool and we don't like to drive to the parks. I'll take the extra stops to not have to deal with parking and walking and driving back.
Anything else you want to know???
starting to get practice for our soon empty nest.
I would have been SOOOO upset. Yeah, I think it'll be OK at the boarding facility. People have given some of them rave reviews so I'm hoping they're as good as their ratings are.
Our last dog died of something similar too. 
Many prayers headed her direction.
Thanks for the welcome!
so glad I finally found it!
Well I am telling you I checked EVERY DAY! That was the hardest Cha Cha Change I have ever had!
