OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

Does anyone know if you can order food to go at Olivia's and take it back to your room? Some of the items on the menu look great but we have two little ones (2 and under) and it might be easier to eat in our room. Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, no you can't. Take-out orders were stopped at all table service restaurants when the dining plan was started. I don't think anyone has ever stated a good reason why, but there it is.

No, for some reason people think that would use counter service credits instead of table service. So Olivia's only serves you food at the table and not to go.

Just booked spring break today and so happy to get a OKW dedicated 2 bdrm HH. It is my favorite resort. We purchased at SSR, which I also love, but since they changed the point value for the THV, I prefer the size of the 2 bdrm at OKW. We stayed there twice on cash before purchasing DVC. My boys are so excited to have a basketball and tennis court right next to the pool. We love how tranquil it is there. We love the parks, but also love our down time!

Sorry. Double post. iPad went crazy!

I think we need a few pics. Lets start around the main pool.

We are staying in a Studio on 11/1-11/3 prior to our DCL cruise. I called the resort front desk to ask what location is best for us since I have a horrible leg injury and if walking long for food or pools I would need a wheelchair. They noted on account to place us in Buildings 11-14. Never been to OKW so can anyone with prior visits tell me about this location.

They are the closest buildings to the hospitality house... Just across a small parking lot. Won't be any problem walking if you get one. Only building 62 is a better location, in my opinion.

Should I ask for building 62? I can walk short distances, very slowly might I add. My husband laughs when we are in the mall or stores and the eldery shoppers pass us. I once was a runner and speed walker so imagine that. Anyway, parking lots sound odd to walk through to get to buildings.

If you didn't book the Hospitality House area, you won't get Bldg 11-14. If you called the resort front desk, you got a call center somewhere that doesn't have a clue about DVC bookings. If you are a member, you need to call MS and ask them to include medical needs on your reservation. If you booked for cash, you need to call Disney Reservation Center and add medical needs to your request. And if you booked cash, Hospitality House area will not be available to you.

Plus, you know that very few buildings at OKW have elevators, right? Most just have stairs to upper floors. Bus stops and pools are located throughout the resort, so you are not far from any bus or pool.

I booked using our DVC points in a studio. I called the main resort number and the operator transferred me to the front desk to ask. Whomever I spoke with pulled out a map and went over the buildings closest to main area and pool. I explained my medical issue and they noted it and also noted a possible wheelchair need. So I hope when we get there they will see that and not place us upstairs. I did not ask for an upgrade or anything like that, just something within a suitable walking distance. We will have our car so, I could always drive if needed.

You need to contact MS and add the medical needs request to your reservation. You won't get HHA if you didn't book that area.

I agree with Deb & Bill. You need to contact MS with your medical needs request. The resort can't put in in a different category than you booked, and Hospitality House (buildings 11-14) is a booking category.

It occurs to me that I know nothing about getting takeaway type rooms at DVC. We have booked OKW as part of a very good Disney offer here in the UK. I assume that there is no room service or anything at DVC and I always panic what would I do to feed the kids if one of us was ill and we couldn't go and collect food from the cs. Can anyone help?

You have either a kitchenette (studio) or full kitchen (one bedroom or larger) at OKW. Just stock up your refrigerator with some of your favorites and prepare a meal at home. Or you can order a pizza to be delivered from POFQ by phone. You can make a trip to the grocery store, or order from a grocery service or buy food to prepare at Conch Flats General Store. Breakfast cereal, milk, juice, bread, peanut butter are staples that you might want. Or fruit, meat, etc.

Thanks for the reply we have used gardengrocer in the past and will probably do the same again but I didn't know about the pizza delivery from POFQ.
