OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

We had 2 double beds in the second bedroom of our grand villa.

Exactly. Just like I said.

Hey Everyone - I just purchased my first DVC at OKW. So excited to have booked my first trip in February for my 40th birthday.

I stayed at OKW in 1996 - my parents were members back then (when they gave you park tickets!)

We are staying in a 2 bedroom villa .... and my fiancee has to use a scooter due to degenerative back issues. I know that many of the buildings don't have elevators. What do you all suggest for a building request that is reasonable close to transportation - we will not be renting a car.

Not sure of building numbers but you can put a medical request on your reservation so you either get a first floor unit or one of the elevator buildings.

Oh, great. Thank you.

Last time we went, we stayed at POR but he didn't use the scooter all the time, only in the parks. This time, he needs it all the time to be able to navigate the resort area as well.

Thanks for the help!

Because OKW has multiple stops thru out the resort your never very far from transportation. You do want to put the request in to be on the first floor or in an elevator building due to medical reasons though so you can get the scooter to the villa.

Does anyone know if the boat transportation from OKW to DS is now back open?

I believe buildings 62 and 63 both have elevators. However, building 63 is the only one that has an elevator and is supposed to be handicapped accessible.
Here is a link (that I hope works for you) on this website to some information that may help that gives a lot of information on handicapped accessible buildings and elevatiors etc.

Does most building on Peninsular road have Canal View? are Buildings 45 and 46 considered on Peninsular road?

Unfortunately the map that was in the first post of this thread no longer shows up. However, here is a link to a map that should help. http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/okwmap.htm

45 and 46 are considered South Point. 27, 28 and 29 have golf course views.

Currently in building 46 for a couple of weeks; it is closer to South Point transportation station, etc.

Booked 1 BR Wheelchair Accessible with roll-in shower thru member services but it doesn't say near HH, so does that mean we will get any building as long as
it is WC accessible as shown on the map We arrive 11/4/2017

Yes, but because it isn't a "near HH" category, it is doubtful you'll get bldg. 13, 23 or 26. Unless you get Bldg 63, you will definitely be in a first floor unit.

Just wanted to share one of my favourite pics from our vacation. We were in room 1430 and watched the sunrise from our balcony after our first night. It was so peaceful!

When's the refurb supposed to happen? Is it likely to be finished by next September, when we're likely to head back to OKW?
