OKW lovers thread !!!

[RLRDA]

Hi OKW Lovers! I just booked a stay for August at OKW. We were able to get a 1BR near HH. Which buildings are designated as "near HH"?? Is there one that I should request or are they pretty equal? OKW is the only DVC in WDW we haven't stayed at so we're excited to try it out . Let the countdown begin!

we like the 20s grouping. the teen buildings are closer to the pool and hh but we were in 11 this past oct and there was no view.if you have a car,parking gets intresiting in the teen buildings becauevese people drive to the pool. the 20s , is the first bus stop so you are the first to be picked up and the first to be dropped off.

I haven't looked at an OKW map yet (anyone have a link to one?). Are the 20s grouping and teens grouping both categorized as near the Hosp. House? We won't have a car so parking is not an issue for us. Is the main pool close to the HH area as well? TIA

sorry, i go to bed early. we stayed in bldg 11, you have a nice view of "weeds", and the bus stop is in front of the hh. bldg 12-14 you have a view and the bus stop is hh. (hh is the last stop on the okw run) we stayed in bldg23 and loved it. 23-26, in our opin. are the best rooms. your at the first bus stop and the rooms have a view. the hh is a short walk away. both those sections are considered "hh rooms". when staying at the first bus stop, the bus may pull in full but in a stop or two you will get a seat. the last stop, the bus already picked up veryone at okw so it may be s.r.o.

Hi all -- we are new dvc owners and just booked a last minute trip to kidani(3) days and okw (4 days) for the last week in february -- only now just found out about the refurbishments... specifically the pool. we had asked to be close to the HH as we have 2 little ones... now I am not sure what to do?? will the pool being closed be a real downer with the little ones??

 

[RLRDA]

Is there a post in this thread or a link that has a timetable for the OKW refurb?

Does somebody out there know about the boat rentals at OKW? Do they have paddle boats? And can someone guide me to a price list? TIA
