OKW lovers thread !!!

[Simba22]

Had a nightmare that we got down for our trip and I forgot our Disney passes at home!!!!

My husband and sons were yelling at me!!!! I woke up in a panic and sweat and thankful I was in my bed and not "home" yet.

I've had the same dream! I've also dreamed that I was in the Magic Kingdom and realized I was supposed to be at work.... and called out from the phone booth in the UK Pavilion at Epcot...

And I really DID leave our Disney tickets home one year but thankfully I remembered before we were too far so I was able to come back and get them!

190 days and we'll be checking into OKW for the first time! We're so excited!!

Hey all:

It's been too long since I've been back on this thread and I'm so sorry!

OKW is the BEST. We are arriving early for our BLT stay in March and both my kids were like, "let's stay at OKW!"

I think we'll do that in the summer though...

Anyway, to those that are there now, and to those that have trips coming up, Enjoy!!! It's fantastic!

This year we will be headed to Port Orleans instead of OKW. We have never stayed there before, and I am hesitant to say the least. I will miss my 1BR for sure, but as long as we are at Disney I'm sure we'll be fine!

Our "home resort" has always been OKW as you can see from my sig below. However, one year we booked late and picked POR...It is now one of my favorite resorts! The theme is lovely and it truly feels like you are staying at a home away from home resort. It has to be one of Disney's best kept secrets. I leave for OKW next week but plan on returning to POR just to take some photographs of this lovely resort... You will love it!!! One of my favorite things was going for a walk on the property...it is beautiful!

Thanks so much for posting this! It makes me feel more at ease!

Two weeks from this very moment, we should be in the lobby at OKW trying to check in!

 

[Butterflygirl35]

In exactly two weeks! First visit to OKW!! Very excited!!

First timer....

 

[Woosterguy]

Magical Express envelop came so we're getting closer to our stay. We are also first timers at OKW.

May try okw, tell me about. We were planning on pofq, but can rent for less. Does it have a boat to dtd? We wont have a car, how is the bus situation.

 

[MsRem]

Yes it does have a boat to dtd, pretty quick ride. The buses, weve never had a problem with them. We try to stay by the canal and always walk to the hospitality house to take the last bus out to the parks, much quicker that way. I think the only time weve used the bus stop closest to us was during the pouring rain

as far as the coffee pot goes do they supply you with some filters or should i bring filters from home? If so what kind do I need to bring? #4 cone filters or are they basket filters?

The do not supply you with filters. They will supply you with coffee in a filter bag though. Enough for 2 pots. You can probably ask for a few more.

As for bring your own - it is the basket type with the flat bottom.

thank you! Do you know what number filter?

 

[hmillerbarilla]

They are the basket type for 8-12 cups. I brought my own filters and my own coffee. It was wonderful to have my morning start out like usual!

i was wondering.... has anyone utilized the sleeper chair in the living room of the two bedroom unit? I was wondering how large it was.... can an adult use it or just children?

 

[Pirate Granny]

Used the chair in the GV at OKW...adult size, very comfy.

 

[mlittig]

My adult daughter used it for over a week last April and had no problems

 

[Pattiwig]

It's fine as long as you are not too tall. I would say 5'10" and under. My daughter was fine, my 6'2" son...not so much.

My son's friend used the sleeper chair at OKW in the GV and he fit just fine. He is about 6'2".

 

[nappingbeauty]

thank you for your responses... my one son is 5'11" but very thin.... i was hoping he would fit so his sister could have the sofa bed.... putting the younger ones in the 2nd bedroom.
