Help from the pros please
I am hoping to book a 1 bdrm for October.
I would like HH, but I also want to have the two enterances to the washroom.
Do all the HH 1 bdrms have just the one enterance through the master bedroom to the washroom
If I request something other than HH, a specific building, what are my chances of getting that request?
Thanks

I believe so, I don't remember any time when we didn't have the mickey cut outs.

It was a wonderful trip....I am going to try and do a TR on it.

Hi everybody!! We will be making our second stay at OKW on Sept. and are are really looking forward to it. Do they still run the boat over to DTD? I was looking on the Disney website but it only said there was bus transportation to there. I saw the pictures from Polyhm93 and figured that boat may be the one that goes there, is that right? Thanks!

The shuttle boat runs every 20 minutes starting at noon I believe and runs through about 10:00 pm. It makes a stop at Saratoga. We took it over, and of course the kids loved it.

OKW. I bought into the DVC 4 years ago so I would always be able to go to Disney and not worry about the hotel room prices doubling every ten years. My DGF now wife started going with me three years ago and I can't convince her to even consider anywhere else! We both fell in love with OKW immediately. It has a feeling or presense about it that the other DVC resorts can't match. We have three trips HOME planned for this year and are preparing to book 4 for next year. I would recommend anyone who is considering buying in to stay a weekend at OKW...you will not want to leave!!

dont tell to many people disney best kept secret (okw) isnt great, we are in it 10 years, our points are at boardwalk and allways stayed at okw. its hard to explain what it is about the place. freinds of ours stayed there and hate it, they love boardwalk and animal. i wish i could find a place to retire in florida that looks like that. im 43 so i have some time, well alot of time, maybe disney will build a 55 and over like okw!!

Can you walk from OKW to Epcot or MGM? Is there a ferry that goes to DTD; does one go to the BW, too? Thanks so much! We look forward to our first visit in May.
