OKW Grand Villa

[zoomsharedisney]

I'm planning on booking a GV today at OKW for August, but before I do...I would like some recommendations. This is the first time for my parents (Mom & Dad), Sister, Brother-in-Law, and 2 nephews going to Disney in quite a few years. It's been at least 10 for my mom, dad, and sister. And it's been the VERY first time for my BIL and nephews (ages 6 and 8). The 8 year old has a birthday the day we will check in.

Anyway...we would like to be close to a bus stop, and pool, and possible the Hospitality House. Is this even possible to get? Does each building have a grand villa? Which building shoud I specify?

Thanks,
Amanda

The three buildings with grand villas closest to the Hospitality House are 15, 16, and 63.

You can look at a map here to get an idea of where grand villas are located.

Good luck and have a great trip!

Actually, the GVs in buildings 29, 25, and 22 are pretty convenient too. We loved the view from 22, and while it seemed a bit far from the bus stop, the view made up for it. Building 25 is almost as easy access to HH as 15. One thing I like about that Peninsular Road area (23-29) is that it is the first incoming stop for buses on the way back into the resort, and close enough to HH to walk over there to get on the last stop before the bus heads out to the parks.

I had requested OKW GV close to HH and ended up as far from HH as I could possibly have been (BUILDING 49) BUT we loved our location because it was so quiet and was also an easy walk to bus stop, quiet pool at Turtle Pond or Southpoint and it was at the back of the resort so made the walk to SSR spa and/or DTD very doable. Have stayed at OKW a number of times in other locations but have already requested Southpoint for our next stay in March! Even from that area, it is only about a 7 minute walk to the HH and since we do not have little ones now, that is no big deal. The GV was incredible!
