We just spent a week in bldg 36 and LOVED it. We spent a couple hours at the Turtle Pond pool on day, and went up to the main pool so DD could use the kiddie pool and we could enjoy the activities (and the Gurgling Suitcase!). What a gorgeous resort. It was our first stay, and hopefully not our last!

one of our kids usually ends up sleeping on the love seat, so it will be great with addition of a sleeper chair!!

With news of the refurbishment and the low point structure, we'll surely have to book at the 11 month window. As it is I couldn't get in at the 4 1/2 month mark on a somewhat last minute trip, have to s ay at SSR.

I must have totally lucked out, then. I just booked yesterday for the first week of March.

We are using the rest of our points for this year and treating my brother's and sister's families (7 ppl total) to a week at OKW for their Spring Break. I was able to get a dedicated 2-BR in the HH area.

I just wish it was me going

Rehab starts in the Spring but it will be done in stages! Cross your fingers!

We will be staying in a one-bedroom villa for the first time. We have heard that the villas close to the bus stops are noisy?

It depends upon which group of buildings you are in. Each building has an assortment of villas.

 

[PopArtGal]

So are there buildings to avoid?

Returning for another trip in April! We loved it there in August, and since we have a wedding in Clearwater in April.... thought we would add a few days on here to relax and see the Flower Show!!

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I would only really avoid #29...I found it to be loud. Others have also said to avoid #28 too....I have never stayed in that one, so I can't say. I love the buildings near Turtle Pond pool, and usually request to stay near there.

have fun

I am leaving this Friday for OKW with another family. I am hoping that our 2 bedroom villa is in good shape and does not have a lot of wear and tear more than normal. Looks like it will be 70+ when we are there so we may be able to swim. We lime staying in building 20 backing up to the pool.

I wish we were going sooner than 98 days....but at least we are in double digits.....hope you all have fun and the weather warms up for you!!
