OKW lovers thread !!!

[dvc at last !]

DW specifically requested 60s bldgs. We are more concerned about getting the 1 bed with the 2 doors to bath area. dianeschlit made me aware of the different layouts, so HH area would be great, but TP will work as well(or SP) as long as we can get 2 doors. With two teens in tow, they need as much as we parents do

Great thought. I understand. Hope you get it, too !

I love the pics everyone. Based on how many pts I have left, I have to do a split stay in a studio at OKW. I was a little nervous about staying here since it's an older resort. I'm kinda happy I have to stay here becuz of the two queen beds instead of the sofa bed. I'm so happy I found this thread, now I can't wait

Gee, since the house we live in was built in the 1880's I consider a stay at OKW a like a stay in a brand new house. It's even got indoor plumbing!

We stayed at AS Music several times before we took the DVC plunge. We LOVED AS Music until we stayed at OKW. We have very fond memories of AS Music. But OKW . . . that's heaven. In spite of the roman shades.

Same here.

We are heading to OKW for another stay this year in Oct. 1bed for 12 nights, hoping for the 60s bldgs near HH. But just as happy in TP area. Just looking forward to another relaxing stay there!!

We will be there in October for the first time.

We've always wanted to stay at OKW so when I had to change our dates and give up two nights at the end of our F&W trip to BWV, we jumped on adding two nights at the beginning at OKW and we are so excited.

We might have to add on there next.

When we stay during the Christmas season we put candles in the windows and rope lights on the balcony.

I'm thinking about making somekind of garland out of the mickey head paint samples, and maybe a picture with my dis name on it.

Usually, except for Christmas, we don't bring any decorations with us. By the time we've been to the Mercantile, Mouse Gear, Downtown Disney, etc., the villa has become well appointed with decorations for the season within a day of our arrival.

You can't use tape, thumbtacks or sticky tack to put up your decorations.

There are no windows on the stairwell side of the villa. They are all on the porch side of the villa.

We have taken strings of little LED lights and wrapped them around the railing of the balcony at OKW. There is an outdoor outlet down near the floor on the wall between the french doors of the living room and the bedroom out on the deck.

I was going to do a magnet something for the door, and thanks for letting me know about no window. I didn't know that as we've only ever stayed at ASMusic. Thanks again!!

Maybe I'll do some lime green lights

 

[bunkkinsmom]

Aren't there transom windows in the bathrooms of the 1BR toward the stairwell side?

 

[NancyDVC]

Yes there are windows in the 1 BR bathrooms on the stairwell side but they are frosted and do not open.

But everything about OKW is wonderful! Lots of room (inside and outside).
Quiet, peaceful.
Lovely views.
Excellent themeing.
Lots of room both inside and outside.
Great pools, good food.
Love that brownie sundae and the Conch Chowder.
Did I mention lots of room to spread out and relax??

Can you tell I love the roominess?
