Just back from a week at OKW

Glad you enjoyed OKW - we fell back in love with it back in Dec! About the bus to the Hospitality House area - we didn't use the busses for that reason - we had a car with us and used that. I guess it can take some time to get there via bus depending what section you were in.

That's mostly true if you are at South Point or Turtle Pond. Frankly, we don't mind walking to HH from most locations at OKW. The farthest is if you end up on the end of the middle cul-de-sac at Turtle Pond or building 21 on Miller's Road. But, to that point, there are very few times we actually have a reason to go to HH during a trip. Once in awhile to pick something up or get a moview to watch from Hank's if we are staying in for the evening. We tend to use the buses for parks when we are at OKW, and only use our rental car when we want to go to dinner at another resort.

I feel safe in posting here because the rest of my family does not use the DIS. We have a Grand Villa/HH area reserved for this coming Oct. for our family of 10 vacation. They all want to transfer to AKV at the 7 month window for they says the grandkids and I guess that is great. However, I love OKW soooo much, I prefer to stay there. I just like everything about the place. I just keep my mouth shut and go with the flow and pony up the point.....smjj

We like OKW, too! I stayed there in March 2009 for a 3 day trip. It was me and my 2 kids and my friend and her 2 kids. We all piled into a studio. Shhh...don't tell the room police! It worked out well b/c we took 2 twin sized air mattresses and they slide perfectly under the room's double beds. Becasue the beds are raised, we easily stored them under there during the day. Anyway, the room was nice and it is a pretty resort!

We also took an air mattress so our 2 grown children would not have to share the same bed in our studio room. What made it special was that housekeeping, without our asking, left sheets for the air mattress after the first night and changed them just as they did the 2 queen size beds! How's that for room service?!

I stayed at OKW with my brother a couple years ago and loved the resort. I was fortunate enough to get one for October 24-29 for the 10 of us. CAN'T WAIT!!!

I agree. Don't ever stay there, especially in a Grand Villa. Too many cons in them--hard to choose which bathroom to use (since there are 4). You can get lost wandering around in the spacious rooms. It is hard to decide which table to use--dining room, living room or on the balcony. The list could go on and on.

And don't forget that the kitchen area is so large, one can get lost going from the balcony to the fridge to get a glass of wine!!! Oh yeah, and as my signature shows there is always a line for the room jacuzzi.
