OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

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

Building 27 is on Peninsular Road. It is directly across from the main pool, but to get there you have to walk (or drive) to the left down Peninsular, due to the lake. Probably about a 5 minute walk.

So since Jennifer in Canada doesn't have HH area bldg. 27 would be perfect !

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.

West side, behind the House of Blues.

Actually, it is the next building over from what are considered "HH" properties; 26 is an HH building.
However, buildings 62, 63 and probably 16 and 64, and maybe 15 are actually closer to Hospitality House.

Thanks, I will have a look at the map again too. Should I write the bldg number on my request...I realize they aren't guaranteed though but maybe I'll get some pixie dust

Couldn't hurt.

We've stayed in Turtle pond area a couple of times. It was in Nov and the shack was opened during the day.

 

[Shazzie B]

We were at OKW beginning Sept last year, it was open during the day, closed about 5pm though - think it opened 10 or 11 am

Can any of you give me an opinion on Olivia's? Thinking about dinner, but breakfast is a possibility. Have never visited OKW and would love to combine a visit with a meal Thanks in advance!!!

I will be able to give you an opinion in about three weeks!

We've done both meals before and found the food absolutely fine, the servers attentive and happy/chatty, and the atmosphere awesome.

Like being at your "go to" place for meals close to home, but your not.

Have dinner booked for our stay in a few weeks and just trying to work out which morning to book breakfast.

olivia's is not a destination-type dining experience but it's good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

i would lean toward recommending breakfast but dinner is also good.

Our server was great. I remember really enjoying the dinner, and especially the bread and butter they serve. We didn't have breakfast there.

Thanks for the information about Olivia's. I think we might try it in a few weeks.

I have another quick question. We won't have a car and we have 7:15 a.m. reservations for Chef Mickey's. Does anyone think the early bus will get us there on time or should we take a taxi from OKW? Does anyone know what the general cost of a taxi would be?

TIA!

Also interested in the location of Downtown Disney Boat Drop..... I read somewhere that one of the location drops closed but cannot recall which one.

The resort buses do not go resort to resort. You have to take a bus to MK and then one stop on the monorail or you can walk about 10 minutes.

I do not know the cost of a taxi.... I am sure someone else will know.....or you can search the answer here.

 

[Pirate Granny]

Cab will be about $15. Don't take a chance on a bus!

Relatively tricky question, be patient. Most of us are arriving to Old Key West via Magical Express, likely around 11:30. Because of some special diet issues, I'm renting a car from the airport to get our food and then returning the car to a DTD hotel. I expect to also get there around 12 or so. Assuming we won't be able to check in then, will the desk store my food so we can go to the parks? Has anyone done this, seems they would not since we could have a pretty good load of stuff!

 

[Nanajo1]

Bell Services will store it for you. Separate the cold items . The will be kept cold. No problem.
