OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

[DizneeCM]

Thanks Chuck S, that's good to know. Thanks so much for your help!

 

[OKW Lover]

Agree with @Chuck S above. But, those buildings are susceptible to (road) traffic noise.

 

[DizneeCM]

Thanks OKW Lover, I'll keep that in mind too. I guess the main thing we're hoping for is a quiet area with a relaxing (preferably water) view.

Any recommendations for a 2 bedroom villa? Would prefer one that has a nice balcony view (water view would be awesome!), but that also doesn’t have much traffic/road noise. Most of the pictures on touring plans show the view from the entrances to the rooms (which face the parking lots), so I’m having a hard time deciding what room (or area) to request! Thanks

In the near HH category, bldg 23 has a nice view of a golf pond, the same with non-HH bldg 35 & 43, and of course 45 and 46 for canal view.

We were in building 42 last time and had a 2 BR dedicated on the second floor. Our balcony had a nice view of the #4 tee box for LBV and the pond that is to the left of the tee. While we were in a building fairly close to a major road, we never heard any road noise and we were right beside Turtle shack. Loved the location. Loved the cut through the utility room to the master bath.

Oh, yeah. Squeaky

brakes from the buses every time they stop at the stop sign. 55 and 54 at the end of South Point near the path to Disney Springs are nice and quiet (except for the pool nearby if people swim beyond posted hours).

Last visit we were in a 2 bedroom in 46 on the second floor that looked out over the river. Have to say it was one of the best villas we have ever stayed in; little to no noise at all, great view, easy walk to both HH and the Turtle Pond pool, and easy bus stops to choose from. Would totally stay there again, and we asked too when we return in June.

Am I correct that all the buildings from 30 and up have the walk thru to the master bath. Just about to put in a room request and that is the big one for us in the 2 bdrm. Thanks

Yes. Turtle Pond and South Point, plus the three newer buildings (62. 63 and 64). None in the Near HH area have the door through the laundry room.

Yes, that is correct

 

[JenniferYoung44]

I apologize if I just missed or someone else asked before, but what does “H.A” with the red box stand for in the map on page 1?

 

[JenniferYoung44]

One more question, do all OKW studios have a small balcony/patio? Or only some?

 

[Chuck S]

The red H.A. box indicted building that have some handicap ADA modified rooms. All studios at OKW have a small balcony or patio. The only real noticeable difference is the a few studios, in the crossbar of "U" shaped buildings, don't have a front window. The room layout is the same, just no front window...usually a mirror or paining instead.

 

[JenniferYoung44]

Thanks. I’m desperately trying to decide between buying beach club and OKW but I just keep going back and forth. I think I’m about 70/30 in favor of OKW

 

[Deb & Bill]

The second bedroom of a two bedroom villa at OKW will not have a separate balcony/porch. Only the main one off the living room/master bedroom. But if you get a lockoff, it wlll have a small balcony/porch with the second bedroom.

 

[mort1331]

Yes. Turtle Pond and South Point, plus the three newer buildings (62. 63 and 64). None in the Near HH area have the door through the laundry room.

Yes, that is correct

Thanks...4 adult males...makes it easier than walkkng in the bedrooms.

 

[mort1331]

What if any for 4 males would be the advantage of a lock off as opposed to dedicated 2 bdrm when we are asking?

Yeah, plus when you all do the laundry...... ARghhhhhh!
