Tink's SS- your pics are lovely, I'm so glad you posted them!! You had a nice view from your balcony, too. Oh! And the flower is a Bird of Paradise- it's so funny to me that we took the same pic of it! It really WAS beautiful, though, wasn't it?

Ok- here are the last of mine... breakfast from Goods to Go-

Did someone say frog outside the door??

Going for a bike ride to DTD and back-

I really enjoyed that ride! I highly recommend it! Back at the pool-

On our last night we stoppped in at the Gurgling Suitcase- really enjoyed the bloody mary and the bartender who made it, also the photo albums and the nice guy we chatted with while we were there-

I told Ken i had to take his pic- that I would post it on the DIS and it would probably make a lot of people at home happy to see him!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!!!

Nice pictures!!! I love OKW. We have stayed there two times and enjoyed both very much. We have plans to stay there this Jan. for a few nights.

We love Ken...and if I remember correctly he is from the Northeast like us. And your right, his mudslides are the best!


We had frog "issues" too....very funny, staying on 3rd floor once and the kids beat us to the door, and theywere all screaming about the frog. Some were happy, some were crying...we laughed so hard. I wish we had it on video, would have been a winner.

Ken is from Parsippany, NJ- a town right near us, and right next to where I grew up.

I guess I'd better join this thread since we just went to OKW and then came back and bought 50 resale points so we can go back!

I'm HOME!

I have a question for all you OKW lovers. What is the menu at Goods to Go for breakfast? Do they have breakfast platters and if so what do they include? What about Mickey waffles?
TIA

 

[Dee77]

There are pretty comprehensive menus listed on www.allears.net for both table service restaurants and counter service ones. Hope this helps!

I am Caskbill's wife...and joined/started posting after his passing this summer. Wished I could have told you about all those perks at OKW as we have been owners since 1993. How many happy memories ...you can't calculate them all. I can tell you that we toured, bought, and stayed that night in a one bedroom thanks to Disney Magic!

We later added Saratoga Springs points --but OKW is what we returned to time and time again.

Tell your kids....go with the ownership...where you decide ...and they will happily follow....I know ours did. Our daughter even had a trip ...spring break senior year of college as a reward from us....and so it goes.
Hope you are enjoying DISNEY MAGIC now.

BobNed Thanks for the menu. It looks like I can get a breakfast platter, but no Mickey waffles for the kids I'm sure we'll still enjoy our stay though

I know that we had the waffles at Olivias....or at least I am 90% certain. The foods to go really does not have the variety as the other DVC places; really, the only complaint I can think of for OKW.

Can you get anything for breakfast as a snack credit on the DDP?
Loving this thread by the way, going to OKW for the first time next August

Peg, I hope your speaking in the past tense doesn't mean you aren't going to come back! I'm hoping we get to see you again at OKW or elsewhere at WDW again!

I believe that the breakfast at the Foods-to-Go counts as a counter, not as a snack. I do remember getting my husband a coffee using it as a snack, but I semi-remember them saying the food would not be....it is posted, though, on the sign what constitutes a snack.

Also, they are not open that early. I remember taking my walk and there was a line forming.

We have gone into the store and used our snack credits to buy donuts/coffecake etc. in the past. The kids like that as they aren't huge meal-eaters in the morning.

Yes, I think you can do that. Just ask at the front desk when you arrive.

I was hoping to take a couple resort days . Do OKW have grills in area ? If so where are there locations ?
