OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

[CruisnParkers]

Hi!
I'm taking a princess trip with my 4 yr old daughter, just the two of us. Hoping I haven't over romanticized the idea, but I thought it would be a fun trip for us girl without having to deal with the teenage older brothers.

Will be staying at OKW for the first time in January. Knowing it's just me with no other adult relief, any suggestions on where to stay? I don't have near hospitality house booking. I'd like a convenient quiet spot, close to the bus.

Thanks!
J

There is a bus stop at each section of OKW. HH is the final bus stop before heading off to the respective parks.

As far as quiet, I would avoid the units adjacent to Buena Vista Drive.

Hello! Can someone please tell me the times the boat to dtd runs? And approximately how long is the trip?! Where does it drop you off? And can you wheel a stroller on or do you have to fold it up!? Thanks!!!

The boat times will vary some, depending upon season and weather. Service usually begins at 10:30 or 11 am and runs every 20 to 30 minutes. Drop off is at the Westside dock, behind House of Blues. As far as strollers...it will depend upon if the slots are needed for wheelchairs/scooters. The boats will accommodate up to 2 wheelchairs, scooters or unfolded strollers. Wheelchairs and scooters have priority.

The trip itself is about 12 minutes. They are changing the drop off areas due to construction.

Where and when are they moving the drop off? TIA

It has already been moved. It will move again, once the construction permits. When I went in September, it docked near Cirque.

We stayed in the South Point Road area with several toddlers, and it was lovely! Building 56 is next door to the pool/laundry and about 20 paces from the bus stop. Being at the 2nd stop was very convenient, both going out and coming in.

Thanks all! Does anyone know what is the latest boat that goes home?!

 

[Mambo Junkie]

With the construction, is it difficult to get from Cirque to the other side?

"difficult"? No, its not difficult. There might be a more circuitous route but there are signs and pathways around any interfering construction.

No, walking is not at all difficult. Or you can take a boat over to the Marketplace area.

It is at 11:30 P.M. The last boat dropped off at both SSR and OKW. Ask the CM if it close to the time of the last boat because it may be flying the SSR color flag.

 

[Mambo Junkie]

If you run late can you catch the boat back at SSR? Is it closer (for instance if I am at Arribas)

The boat does not run between SSR and OKW. There is a boat from Downtown Disney to SSR, and one from Downtown Disney to OKW.

The only reason our boat went to SSR was that it was the last boat of the night.

I am staying in a 1 bedroom. Someone said the villas came with a pack and play. Does that mean I don't have to request one?

Yes. It will be in the closet. If its missing for some reason, just call housekeeping and they will bring one over.

Checked out of OKW today. My room was nice 2626, however my parents room (2620) was in rough condition. A big concern is there is water leaking onto the landing of the stairs and dripping down to the ground floor landing. It is slippery & the resort does not appear to be doing anything about it. They place a cone with a caution sign, but that is it. I mentioned something to the front desk. I would think this would be a liability if someone slipped down the stairs as a result.
