OKW lovers thread !!!

[Disney2XS]

We joined DVC in 1994. We love OKW!! Best decision we ever made.

I just stayed at OKW Nov 26-Dec 1 with 2 girlfriends. We had a great time and had plenty of space. No big problems, except a missing untensil or 2 and no extra towels for us. Otherwise, everything was terrific. Returning in Aug '08 with my DH,DD and DSIL. They are more excited than I am! If that's possible!

It's just hard to beat a relaxing week at OKW.

I'm so glad to hear these great comments. We bought at SSR but are staying in an OKW studio for a week in March and an OKW 2-bedroom for a week in June. For March, it is DH, DD22, DD19 and myself. For June, we add my mother, sister, niece & nephew. The more I hear and read, the happier I am with my decision to stay at OKW.

We are thrilled.... our favourite resort finally opened up for our UY.

Sounds like an OKW add on is in your future! Good luck with the add on. OKW is a great resort. We may add on there someday.

To those that have asked "will I like it"....you will LOVE it!!! You won't want to leave!! It is so laid back and relaxing there!! Not sure if we will be there this spring or if we will be going to the Keys. If we go further south I know I will be going through Disney withdrawls!!

Cool, maybe we'll run into each other while we are there.

We also took a ride over there from Saratoga Springs last month to check it out. We really liked the look & feel.

Bought DVC in 1997 at OKW and would never change. We have stayed at BW and BC. Neither are as relaxing as OKW. We have no desire to stay anywhere else.

Love it, Love It and can't get enough!
I've done all of the DVC Resorts, like them all but it was love at 1st sight with OKW. No matter, what the accomodations (of course GV's are the bomb) I still prefer to be "Welcomed Home" at OKW.

See you all June 08!

going OKW for the first time. what are the best buildings and what are the different views you might get.

We will be renters this summer at OKW. Must admit, I initially choose it because of price but after learning about it, I am SOOO excited to get there

Maybe if my dream comes true (come on dream makers!!) I would win the DVC membership. My hubby and I are both teachers, we would never be able to afford on our own

Thanks for the pics!

We are there right after school lets out Celebrating DS14's 8th grade graduation.....

You can purchase DVC and make monthly payments....that is what most do, or there is the resale market Smaller contract...smaller price tag

Next week I get to call MS to make our OKW reservations for next January Our boys are going to stay for 4 nights and DW and myself are going to stay for 8 nights. The boys have to go back to school on the 6th next year, thus the reason for the short trip for them. Don't fret for them though, they are going to Hawaii the following June with the marching band while DW and I will wait for Kolina to open.

Turtle pond is one of the quiet pools.
