Thank you.

I think as long as Disney has to rent out BWI we will be okay.

39 today and DH was 40 2 days ago!! We LOVE OKW and wouldn't have it any other way. We feel we can have the best of both worlds...........relax at OKW and go wild or let our hair down at the other resorts (barring we have a babysitter!!) LOL!!

Paul,
Turtle pond has a bar and serves some snack food.
The tennis courts are by the main pool and there is one in the Turtle Pond Area.
Adults only vacations are great. Different resort chains do different things.
I only use Sandals which is pretty tame compared to Hedonism (which is definitely not something I am interested in). I am sure there will be a time when this will interest you and I know you will have a wonderful time.
Just giving you some information here.

I can why people get turned off from reading these boards.

Well, what a surprise. We are definitely in the minority at pushing 70. But, we are very satisfied with OKW as is - bought in 1995. Perhaps some of the posters have lost sight of the "timeshare concept". It should be different than a resort hotel. If we have the urge for a quick food court experience, the moderates are close by. If we need a fancy pool - pool hopping is available.

Our experience has been to stay at OKW when the grandkids are with us, and at the BWV when we have other adults. The kitchen facilities at OKW are quicker and cheaper than a food court when the family is together. Conversely, when the adults travel, fine dining is the norm. Prior to joining DVC, we used and enjoyed the food court at DL, but we have not used a food court since 1995.

Althought we enjoy the BWV because location, it is not unlike checking into aresort hotel. Give me OKW for the "Home Away From Home" experience.

Just my two cents.

WCJOE,
That's what makes the world go round.....
Different strokes for different folks!!!
I also like OKW, that is why I bought into it.
I would just like a slide at the resort, BUT I understand also why others do not want a slide.....I RESPECT there opinions!!!
Thanks
