I thought it was supposed to be low crowds!!!
It was packed. There were 20-30 minute lines on most of the booths for the Food and Wine Festival. I have been to this event every year except one xince it began. I have never seen it mobbed like this. Theu have some nerve imposing limited park hours with crowds like that. All the rides had ling lines too, FP return times were hours away. It was pretty ridiculous.
We figured everyone was at Epcot for the festival, we wnt over to MK thinking it would be less crowded, it wasn't. It was also mobbed. The lines on everything were long, the streets were packed, it was not what I was used to. We always go in the off season, I have never seen such crowds in all my trips.
BWV
I never really remember just how tiny those one bedrooms are. When the pull out is pulled out, there is ZERO room left. I remember someone recently saying that the bedroom at OKW and BWV were roughly the same size, LOL, they are no where near the same size. The three of us felt very cramped. We were in room 2129....when you began the trek from the lobby, your firstexperience was the hallway near the elevator, you looked down that hallway and the end of it was a blurr in the distance....you start that trek and realize that the room numbers are a LONG way away from your room. You begin to hope that they skip some or something, but alas, no. You finally reach the end of that hallway and turn only too see anputher seemingly endless corriidor.....finally, this next one is traversed and you get to another corner, you are thrilled that you are now only three or four units from yours and thanking the management that you are not in 2136.
The hallway and its marathon length made going to the lobby or boardwalk for something quick a daunting taks. Unless I could get a guarantee of a room location, I would never stay there again.
VWL
We are figuring that 430 points is not enough. We are going to add on and wanted to see VWL. The resort is spectacular. Every decoration and nuance is perfect. The sitting areas of the villas area is great. The lodge itself, magnificant. The decor of the rooms is very, very nice. Its kind of neat, if you are a member already, they have a room they let you see and there is someone there to talk to. The only problem, the rooms are those same teeny rooms as BWV.
We are going to add more points at OKW. The dues are lower, its the only place we really want to stay and managing the points will be easier.

. Was it just as crowded during the week? I had heard that things were busy on the weekends and empty during the week. We're doing a non-
Knowing what an OKW fanatic you are, I was happily surprised at your comments about my home resort.
