We just got back on Wed evening from a 12 day stay at OKW and noticed a few new things we wanted to mention.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom in building 64 and found all new appliances in the kitchen. The microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher were very similar to the old ones, but the stove now has the flat ceramic cooktop.
The TVs looked new, but pretty much the same as before, but there was a DVD player in place of the old VCR.
The sofabed in the lving room looked like they had just recovered the old one in a slightly different fabric - until we opened it up. It's a totally new design compared to the ones they used to have. I'm not sure how to describe it, but here goes. Instead of a metal frame that pulls up and out of the couch, the whole front of the couch pulls out and you end up with the front end being like a footboard for the bed. The top 2/3 of the mattress is all one piece, just folded up and the bottom 1/3 is a separate piece that fits snugly without any noticeable seam once it's open. There is a solid flat piece of some type under the whole mattress and the whole bed felt nice and firm. No metal bars in your back, in fact, there are no metal pieces to catch or get hit with, none of the hinges or bars are exposed when it's open. My oldest DD and my niece slep there and said it was very comfortable.
We noticed that there are no more throw pillows except in the master bedroom. I know that last year there were some in the living room, but those are gone now. I'm pretty sure that when we bought into DVC, there were also some throw pillows in the second bedroom, whenever they disappeared, they are gone now too.
