OKW Grand Villas near Hospitality House

[DisneyDoogie]

Happy New Year OKW Fans,
Can anyone tell me what buildings at OKW have GVs that are considered "near Hospitality House?" Also, any recommendations for buildings with GVs that are not considered near HH but are a short walk away? When Building 63 is described as "handicapped-accessible," what does that mean? It's close to HH, but is it in the "near HH" bookable category? Also, how is the internal shuttle service to HH from the distant GVs - if we get put far away from the HH, how much of a wait are we going to have for the internal shuttle? Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I thought there was only one in the HH area booking category. We stayed in Bldg 15 and it was nice, right on the golf course tee box and a short walk to either the Miller Road bus stop or the HH bus stop.

Bldg 62, 63 and 64 were added later on when they demolished the Commodore House (sales office) and elevators were added to those buildings. None of the others have elevators. So they tend to reserve those buildings for those with medical needs. They are not HH area booking category.

The second and third bedrooms of the GV are on the second floor of the GV and are not accessible except by the stairs (not by elevator). So if you need an accessible villa you have to be on one of them that are located on the first and second floors of the building (or in 62, 63 or 64).

Internal bus runs about the same intervals as the other buses, and they also go to DTD and Typhoon Lagoon. But they start and finish at the HH. You can take any bus at OKW and get to the HH area. And you can walk over to the Peninsular Road bus stop and take a bus back to any area. But it's really not that far of a walk anywhere at OKW.

There are only two GV in the HH booking category. We actually walked a reservation for this summer to ensure we got it. I wasn't too happy with the view...I like to watch the golfers and the trees were in the way. Our family loved the unit and closeness to HH.
