We arrived 11-6 and check-out 11-15, in studio 3110.
There was no wait for check-in. We were given our pick from 5 buildings, none of which were ready for occupancy. I told the CM that location didn't really matter to us, as long was we got first or second floor, not 3rd floor. She picked 3110, a first floor unit for us. Probably one of the nicest views for a studio that we've had, as no studio has a fantastic view at OKW.
Our room was ready about 2:30, and it was in good shape and clean, though you could tell some past guests had been less than delicate at some point. The bar sink faucet had a slight "bend" in the crook part, like a youngster had grabbed it to climb into the sink, and the diffuser for the under cabinet light kept falling off.
Everything was in working order, the room had obviously been painted fairly recently, though there were a few normal wear and tear knicks here and there. All in all an excellent location and well maintained unit.
Olivia's food seems to cycle through good and bad periods, like most Disney restaurants. We ate there several times this trip and it was very good, and the service was the usual OKW style, relaxed, friendly and efficient.
I was disappointed in that the counter service at Good's to Go doesn't have more selections, or at least options, like the Ceasar salad can not be ordered without the chicken, as the salads are pre-made. We really like Disney's plain Ceasar salads, so for counter service meals we drove over to POP Century, who has a wonderful selection of items, and the added bonus of accepting the DDE discount
We rode the busses to the parks on a few occasions, and found the OKW bus service to be on par with other Disney resorts.

Alternating every other trip one bedroom/studio works well for us.
