OKW 2 BR Villa question.....

[msudawgs30]

My family and I are staying at OKW in April and it will be the first time we've ever stayed on Disney property . I'm making sure to plan for little details here and there that will make our trip just a little "extra" special. Is there a building and villa in particular that anyone has stayed at and just loved? A building or room that you could actually view illuminations from or just REALLY enjoyed the view from?

I read that the last stop for the bus system is at the main house (where Olivia's restaurant is). If this is so, then naturally it would be better to wait there for a trip to one of the parks, yes?

Thanks for any recommendations you can give. It will be my DD's birthday and my 4yo nephew's first trip .

Thanks,

We've always ended up at South Point and it worked well for us. Our last trip was at VWL, where we loaded up the bus before the stop at the GF. Being the last stop isn't always an advantage ... unless you have a desire to stand when the bus gets filled up before it reaches your stop. Not likely, but it is a consideration.

We stayed in a two bedroom near the community hall. We had a view of the lighthouse from the door to our room. The view from the balcony was of a pond with a fountain and the golf course. There was a bus stop right outside our room but we walked to the community hall bus stop as it was either the last or one of the last stops. The bus service was really good too.

We stayed in building 45 in a 2 bedroom had a nice canal view and a short walk to the south point bus stop

We have stayed in 2BR's in OKW many times. I don't think any one building is better than any other. I would not worry.

I don't think many rooms have an good Illuminations view because of the trees. We enjoy the water view rooms. There are usually alot of birds & ducks around those rooms. We liked 31 & 43. Rooms on the golf course fairways are usually surrounded by trees to protect them. We stayed in building 28 once and had very little view and the room was dark because of the trees. The HH is the last stop but you take the chance that the bus will be crowded when it gets there, you will likely have to stand during peak periods.
