Back from OKW Jan 1 to Jan 9 Great Trip

[katmittens]

Stayed at Pop Jan 1-3. Everything was good. Great room location and mostly quiet. Checked into OKW on Jan 4 Sun. at 8:30am. Room not ready. Got into room at 4:30. Building 13, top floor. Great view from balcony. One complaint BAD MATTRESS. It was so hard. No one slept good the first nite. We called Housekeeping next day and they brought us the foam pads and not one for each bed but we all had 2 to 3 on each bed They brought them to us and then when we returned at nite there were more and then the next day there were more. Every time we went out when we came back there were more We thought they were growing in the room. We did sleep after that, but they were very very hard without the foam pads under the sheets. Every meal was good, most of the time we had good service, just very slow at Grand Floridian Cafe for dinner. Weather was warm and we swam two days at the pool. Had a different drink every day(that was my goal) Room was in good shape and CM were friendly. Another great trip. Parks were busy but we did what we wanted and still had time to relax. Any questions about meals just ask. Ate dinner at Le Cellier, Rose and Crown, Biergarden, Cape May, ESPN, House of Blues, Grand Floridian Cafe,and Olivia's , lunch at Casey's, Peco's, Rainforest Cookes of Dublin, Back Lot,Olivia's, Cantina at Mexico, and Beaches and Cream. Oh also Boma for breakfast. Was a great trip.

Sounds great! I just booked for next Jan 3-9. How were the parks? The weather? Is the hospitality house area nice? The gal put me down for that, since I'm clueless.

Am I the only one who loves firm mattresses at OKW? My complaint is the beds are too high. I'm only 5'....I feel like I need a ladder to get into bed!

katmittens - glad you had a good trip. Too funny about it looking like the foam pads were growing in your room.

Sounds like you had a terrific trip (sooo jealous!!) We are hoping to stay at OKW next January and have never been there before. I have heard some buildings are closed for refurbishing now. Does anyone know if all the older buildings are being refurbished. I wonder if they will be replacing those hard mattresses?

The parks were busy from the 1st. to the 4th. but then it was ok for the rest of the trip. The weather was very good in the high 70's and low 80's. We swam a few days so that was great especially since we have had a cold and snowy winter in Pa. We like the HH area, although some think it is noisy. We have stayed in Bldg 12 and 13, and my kids say 13 was a little noisy, they did hear the buses at times, but we do live in the country and it is very quiet here so we are not use to any noise at nite. I really like bldgs 23-26 which is also part of the HH area. You are close but not too close to all the activities. I do understand that those bldgs are under refurb, so I don't know when they will be done. We will be there next Dec 31 to Jan 8, 2010 and we have HH area, so maybe we'll see your there.
