We are currently at OKW- building 36- having a WONDERFUL time....wish you were here!
The resort appears to be in great condition. The painting renovation is still ongoing, but the driveway resurfacing seems to be pretty well completed.
The bus "On Demand" program has been changed/modified/cut-back since it began in late March, but they stil have great hopes and expectations for its ultimate success. The computer system has been a major source of trouble thus far, so currently the program is being handled manually. The program functions between 11AM and 6PM. Early and late routes are the same as always. I have always been an advocate for the bus system and right now feel it is better than I've ever seen it. We have not had any wait more than 20 minutes and most have been 10 or less. We did have some delay at VWL 2 nites ago, but still within the 20 minute range. I'm confident that it will continue to improve and will eventually include key terminals at all bus stops. The 18 new buses are in service and they have more ordered when Pop Century comes online in Dec.
As for DVC sales information, I have spoken with numerous DVC CM's and have not seen such a consistant lack of information. Most do not evenhave any rumors they can offer as an incentive to ask more questions. All have backed off on the Bonnett Creek rumor, which was very consistant in the last 2 years.
Price increases- beyond the $75 for June 3, are also not rumor-mill fodder. No one was willing to suggest any price for BCV- or a sales date. All feel that another increase is likely by that time (whenever that may be) but have no other info to offer. I'll keep asking around, but have nothing concrete to mention at this time.
Our guests left this evening. Our room has been great. They changed our full clean by a day and we will pay for an extra cleaning tomorrow so we can move back into our 1BR. All is well!

How is the weather right now? Is it super hot? And are you finding the parks really crowded or so-so? Hope OKW is treating you well!! Enjoy your stay home (I am sure you will...)
