OKW lovers thread !!!

[Polyluvr]

What a great thread!! We'll also be at Disney for starwars weekends in 6 weeks; although not at OKW this time. Split stay BCV/AKV.

Can't wait for our 2 bdr in Oct!! F&W!!

We'll be "going home" May 25 - 30 for the first time since joining DVC with a 2BR at OKW. We stayed there at Thanksgiving in 2007 and loved it. We have requested bldg 62 as our 1st choice and 25 as our backup. ADR's are all set with Mama Melrose/Fantasmic dinner package, Le Cellier, Biergarten & Grand Floridian Cafe. Also have reservations for the Wishes Dessert Party for the fireworks display at MK. Taking DS-25, DD-22 & DDbf-22. We should have a blast!

We are *considering* buying a DVC resale. OKW looks so great on paper & in pictures, but we've never visited. I haven't had a chance to read through this thread, but I will make a point of it. I really love what I see so far.

I think I saw that the studios come with 2 queen-sized beds? Is that true? If so, we could sure stretch our points much further! What about the next step up--1 bedroom. Does it have 2 queens?

Alas, an oxymoron. The 1 bedroom has the queen in the master suite and a sofa sleeper in the living/great room.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom in building 62 last January. The view is breathtaking!!! Enjoy.

King in the master suite, sofa sleeper in the living room, and very very soon a twin sleeper chair as well. At least that was my experience.

You can't "request" building 25 unless you are booked in the HH booking catagory. Building 62 is an elevator building and not in the HH booking catagory.

We just booked a 4 night at OKW for early summer this week and I have to say we're pretty geeked up to be staying there for the first time!!! We can't wait!

I have actually only visited the Hospitality House once looking for mechandise, so the entire area is new territory for us!!

Wanted to share with you OKW lovers, a new one may be waiting in the wings!

Thanks for the info. I called MS after receiving our written reservation confirmation asking why our building requests were not listed. They told me they do not list those on the reservation but have it noted in their computer and it will be listed when we arrive to check in. I asked her to read me what they had listed and she told me the same thing I said in my previous post. Guess I'll call back and see what is going on.

Thanks for the correction! Those senior moments are coming fast and more often!

With the addition of the twin sleeper chair, the OKW one bedroom will be perfect for my family of four!!

Can't wait to see what the refurb will look like!

I was told by a manager in March that they aren't even starting until later in the year. I haven't heard any updates since then, so maybe someone who is going soon can ask again.

 

[cherjp]

many thanks

They are putting the sleeper chair in the OKW 1 and 2br's???? I always wondered why they didn't do that before now. Have any of them been refurbed yet??? Thanks

Yep, I have 3 little ones, so we will be able to get away with the 1 bedroom for a couple of extra years with the sleeper chair!

Yes, they are getting the sleeper chairs. No, nothing has been refurbed yet (see my above explanation.)

Okay thanks. I am really glad they are doing that.

I'm already cutting Zzzzzz's. I could really go for a hammock on the balcony with a margarita from the Gurgling Suitcase.
