Yes, they are. At least they were last June.

We were at OKW 20-26th.. First time at the beautiful resort in a GV. I have to tell you they are fabulous!!!! Adult kids called it the mansion!!! Resort is wonderful, all CM great, bus service was good all week. BLDG 15. We loved the pool and all the palm trees. Felt like we were on an island!!!!! We had great food and drinks from the Gurgling Suitcase(Turtle crawls) Goods to go and loved Olivias for lunch!!! We will return again!!!!!Home resorts are SSR and AK which we love but I think we have found a new resort to love also!!!!

WOW make me jealous why don't ya !!! Glad you enjoyed MY home resort. Your post makes me think I should be there in Dec instead of BLT and BWV. Oh well I want to try them all eventually. Ever done a GV in SSR ? If so compare them to OKW please.

That's our favorite GV building!!!! Love the location for buses too. You can check out the situation when you leave the room, and if you see your bus heading toward Miller's Road, if you walk to HH, you'll be there in time to board that same bus. If you don't see a bus you can walk either to HH or Miller's for the next bus. LOVE that location.

We were in Bldg 15, too, for our GV stay two years ago. I liked sitting on the porch watching the golfers.

Thank you for the quick reply

Diane- we mastered that bus trick after the second day!!! It was great--usually ran to HH to get the bus that passed us at Millers Road And it was cool watching the golfers tee off right outside our back deck!!! It was a great location. We felt very lucky to get it!!!!!!

We are staying OKW in December, have stayed there numerous times.

We have always had Hospitality House location. But it is not available this trip.

DH loves the suitcase. Where's the best room location for us that is not HH?

We will have a car, but not planning on using it after dark, so will take bus transportation back from the parks each night.

Thanks

Ask for Peninsular road. First bus stop when coming back from the parks, and within easy walking distance (even for small kids) of HH.

Can someone "rank" the bus stops by area of the resort? Picked up/dropped off first/last?

Thanks!!

While it occasionally varies because of road construction and maintnance, the normal order is:

1) Peninsular Road
2) South Point
3) Old Turtle Pond Rd.
4) Miller's Road
5) North Cove Rd. (Hospitality House)

I think the internal OKW shuttle and the DD/typhoon lagoon differ from that order. I am pretty sure they hit HH right after old turtle pond for some reason.

No, the internal stops at HH twice.

Booked a last minute night in an OKW 1bd and enjoyed the last Food and Wine week-end! We ended up in building #52 South Point. Villa was in good condition, clean! In 30+ trips the only other time we ended up on South Point was in a GV #53.

We've got a GV booked for Feb, we've stayed in ones in building #15(twice), #43, #53.
Has anyone stayed in a GV in buildings # 22 or #16? Thought maybe we'd request something different, since in Feb, us Floridian's won't be in the pool! Burrr!

We've never stayed at OKW personally - our home resort is BLT - but for March Break 2012, we booked a 2-BR near the HH for my sister-in-law and her two daughters, plus her cousin and her aunt. They really enjoyed it, despite totally avoiding the parks (it was a "lay by the pool and shop at DTD" girls only type of trip.)

Now we just booked a 1-BR near the HH for my sister and her hubby for April 27-May 4. They will likely do the parks (it will be their first trip to WDW) but I think they are looking forward to having the opportunity to cook and do laundry if they want.
