Most people consider that a canal view.

Planning a June 2018 trip with 2 families in a 2BR Villa. After doing my research, I still have a few questions.

1. Does OKW have movies by the pool like some of the other resorts?

2. Are values the only bus stops with a queue for each park?

3. I've never stayed at a resort with multiple bus stops. Do they start at HH and go around the loop, then exit the resort, or do they stop again at HH before leaving?

TIA for all the help. Just trying to be informed before we go.

Maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing. The river that the boat take to DS.

Trumbo Canal.

1. Yes.
2. I think that is correct.
3. At OKW, Peninsular Rd is the first stop, South Point next, Turtle Pond next, Miller's Rd next, HI is last. Except for the Internal/Disney Springs/Typhoon Lagoon bus. Stops at HH first, the Miller's Rd, then Peninsula Rd, South Point, Turtle Pond, last HH again.

Hi OKW pros. I stayed at OKW for the first time last September and instantly became a fan. I am going back in March the week after Easter, Thurs-Sun. I'm curious if my stay is going to be different during a peak week. I usually travel during peak times, this past September was just a fluke bc of where Jewish holidays fell, but I've never been to OKW during a busy week.

In September, we got on all of our buses at the HH stop so we would go directly to the parks. Will this be a problem during peak season? Has anyone ever seen the buses fill up before stopping at the HH?

In September, the pool never seemed crowded. We had no problem finding 3 chairs together. This has never been the case at other deluxe resorts. Was this a low season thing or is this an OKW thing?

We got the exact room we requested in our fax. This had also never happened to me before. Again, low season thing, a really lucky fluke, or OKW thing? We were in a studio.

I can't express how much I enjoyed my stay at OKW. I am so excited to go back!

We will be staying in a 1 bedroom next month paying cash. I use a EVC. I made a request for first floor. I read on the board someone suggested to call MS. What is MS. And what is the phone number. Thanks

Also, any suggestions on which bus stop would be the most convenient to get on the bus that won't be crowded?

Anyone here now? We leave tomorrow and just received our Amazon Pantry shipment...never using them again. We have 2 untouched cases of small water bottles up for grabs.

Complain to amazon if they promised it sooner. They should compensate you.

How did you make your reservation? If it was a points reservstion, you notify Member Services (if you are the member). Otherwise contact Disney Reservation Center if that is how you made the reservation.

We were in a 2br villa last February and had a ten cup coffee maker with a basket type filter.

We are patiently waiting until we can book OKW for feburary 2017. We can't risk renting, when will be able to book ? We want a 2B , a 1 B and a studio. It feels crazy just typing this.. And the two bedroom will have a special needs child, which area is the quietest and safest.? autistic children tend to have no fear of anything.

I think you can book 7 months out, so that would by July 2016.
