OKW looks pretty good. Everything is well kept up. We got in after midnight and were welcomed with a nice welcome home. We were in room 1432 and liked the location but had a noise level (not the bus) issue with the kids in the next condo. They cried in the middle of the night and made lots of noise when they were in the room. My wife is convinced that there should be kid free buildings. The main pool was crowded. We needed to walk over to a community pool to get a chair (this was at about 2:00PM in the afternoon on a sunny day).
There is a pretty good selection of merchandise at the General Store with DVC shirts in purple, white and blue; Christmas ornaments, magnets, jackets, sweatshirts, bathrobes, mens bathing suits, drinking glasses, mugs, etc.
We noticed shorter days at the resorts, the bag security checks and fewer services. There is no longer as many character breakfasts. The OKW bus service was the pits. With the MK opening at 9:00, we waited from 8:30 until 9:20 for a bus to show at the Hospitality House. During that time there were four bus' for MGM, one for Epcot and AK each and lots for Downtown. There was a staffer who wrote down times and made lots of apologies.
We ate at Ohana's, Teppanaki Grill, Crystal Palace, California Grill, Planet Hollywood and Olivias. All meals were very good. We very much enjoyed the liked the Dreams parade at Epcot. It was a nice trip but we are glad to be home home. If you have any specific questions, just ask.
