OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

[ThisIsJason]

Seeing that OKW is the only studio that has two queen beds in it, I have a question. Could Disney at any point come in and switch out the one bed over to a sofa-bed? Or is this written someplace that OKW has two beds in the studios?

Some friends are looking to buy a 2057 expiration date contract, and this is the main reason they are looking at OKW.

Thanks!

Considering that OKW went through a rehab about 5 years ago and they left the 2 queens, I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot. Also, the Florida timeshare laws forbid timeshares from making substantial changes to the product as it was originally presented and sold. Now whether changing from a bed to a sofa sleeper, I don't know. I think for many buyers, including myself, I would consider it a substantial change. But, who really knows?

Florida's timeshare laws are very restrictive. It is written in the property description submitted to the state for approval before OKW could be sold to the public. FL laws prevent the company from changing what was promised.

Does anyone know where to find a copy of the daily activity sheet for OKW?

Thanks for the answers. I will pass along the info.

The contract with the boat rental company expired several months ago and was not renewed. Not enough people were renting the boats.

Still no rentals available at OKW?

 

[Chuck S]

As far as I know, there are no boat rentals at any of the resorts on the canal, nor at Downtown Disney.

That's what I thought but wanted a professional opinion! Thanks

I did not see any boats at OKW other than the one to DTD in July.

Need room help. We are going in Nov with a 2 bedroom reservation. Need a building with a elevator but also want a great view. I'm concerned that being on the first floor will have less desirable views. Thoughts? What should I request?

This was our first floor 2BR view in building 63 a few years ago. First floor doesn't necessarily mean a poor view.

I think that the Handicap Accessible Building are the only ones with elevators. We had a beautiful golf course view on the ground floor, close enough to watch the golfers and wildlife but far enough for privacy.

 

[Chuck S]

There are only 3 buildings with elevators, and they are generally used for those with mobility issues but that can otherwise stay in a non-handicapped modified room, as not all the units in the elevator building are handicap modified.

My only real concern about a 1 bedroom is how comfortable the sofa/pull out chair bed is. The sofa bed at AOA was okay but not the best.

 

[Wenny]

I haven't personally slept on either the sofa or the chair, but my dad tried both a few years ago and preferred the chair by a huge margin. The sofa is your typical pull out, with a thin mattress and a bar in the middle of your back. The chair is more mattress like.

 

[Chuck S]

I agree, the chair sleeper, though smaller, is more comfortable than the sofa sleeper.

My two sisters slept in the living room. The one who used the sofa bed was uncomfortable. But the one who slept in the sleeper chair was fine. If I was going to travel again with people who planned to sleep in the living room then I would be tempted to bring an inflatable mattress for them. There is plenty of room for several mattresses throughout the villa.

About how long is the boat ride to Disney Springs?

Thanks.

Thanks.

About 15 to 20 minutes, once you leave the dock.

We have booked a 2-bedroom villa and a studio in the HH category. Any thoughts on favorite buildings? We are a group of 7 adults and one teen, so we won't spend a ton of time at the pool. I know it's the busiest part of the resort, but is there a quieter building than others? Thanks!
