OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

[dvc at last !]

We had to raise the room temp a degree or two when we were there in June. We did use the override to keep the A/C running through the night. Overall, we were very comfortable for the week we were there.

override ?

override ?

You hold the F/C button in until the thermostat says BP (bypass), that keeps it cycling.

It's the Fahrenheit / Celsius temperature button.

Hi Everyone

Im looking at booking a 1 bed for 5 adults, there will be my and my OH and then my sister and 2 cousins in the living area on the bed/chair.

I remember reading somewhere that only certain buildings have direct access to the bathroom from the living area, and not through the bed room is this correct? If so can you advise what buildings they are so we could look to request them?

Is 5 aults (2 of them are 'young adults' i.e 17/18) too much of a squeeze into a 1 bed? Am I better looking at a 2 bed instead?

We are only going for 1 week so really wont be using the room for much else other then sleeping etc. Thanks so much in advance xxxx

The villas numbered over 30 have two entrances to the bathroom. Turtle Pond area is a great area.

Was just surprised with a trip to Disney and we are staying at OKW! Never stayed before! Get me excited! Best places to get breakfast (QS)? Downtown Disney breakfast spots?

I think the best spot for a sitdown breakfast is right at OKW, Olivia's. You can actually get cooked to order eggs instead of the usual pre-plated family style Disney breakfast.

We're headed here very soon! Do any OKW veterans have any last minute tips for the resort?

 

[Nanajo1]

We enjoy the boat to DTD. We also often walk to DTD.

I did not know Olivia's was a QS restaurant! This is great news.

Olivia's is table service. Goods Food To Go is the QS counter service.

No, sorry. I misunderstood. Olivia's is not a quick service...it's table service. But it's very good!

Have a one night stay booked in September to try this resort out for a deluxe studio...looking for a good room request to put in that is near the main pool area (but we don't have a near HH house studio). 2 young kids so the pool area is a must and close to food locations! Thanks!!

Breakfast prices are reasonable, though. Give it a try!

Question for recent vacationers... Where in DTD will the OKW boat drop you right now? West Side, Pleasure Island or whichever you want? Please and thanks.

I believe bldg. 27 is not a HH and is pretty darn close to main pool. Otherwise bldg. 45 is a bit longer buy right on river and still an easy walk. Enjoy
