Just back from OKW

[ronw]

We stayed in a 1 BR on Turtle Pond Rd - building 30. It was our first stay since they refurbisihed the units and it was in really great shape. I really like the new range/ovens - the flat corning cook-tops are so much nicer than the old electric range. The non-stick cookware is a great improvement as well. Can you tell I like to cook on vacation? The parks seem moderately crowded - nothing like spring break though - and it was very hot (we usually go spring/fall) with rain almost every day. Early mornings and evenings worked well for parks with swimming and/or room time in the afernoons. We did an e-ride night that started after an evening storm so it seemed even emptier than usual for an e-night. Bus service was fine. We toured SSR and thought it was very nice. As I mentioned in an earlier post we were also able to get a couple of the DVC member Fossil watches. All in all a great trip.

Thanks for the trip report. Glad you enjoyed your OKW visit. We were there last August, and it rained non-stop!

It sounds like you had a great trip? Since you like to cook, can you tell me if the units have a colander and a measuring cup? Thanks.

 

[PKK/MJK]

Yes, the one bedroom units and larger have a colander and a plastic measuring cup--the kind you use for measuring liquids.

Glad you had a good time on vacation. Thank you for posting!

Did you unit have the new type of sleeper sofa?

Thanks for the great report.

You do have me nervous though, because we are going next spring break--I expect crowds, but I guess I didn't think it would be much worse than the summer.

We usually go the week of 4th of July.

Either way, we're going and we'll deal with it!!!!

lizziepooh,
Yes the unit had the new sleeper-sofa - it took us a while to figure out how to fold it back up. My son reports that comfort-wise it is about the same as the old - maybe a little better but that may have more to do with it being newer.

There is a two-cup liquid measure but they no longer have the individual measuring cups. The new cookware had the type of lids with drain-holes which made it easy to do pasta without using the collander.
