OKW lovers thread !!!

[chepic]

I can't find the thread now....does anyone remember what we should use to clean the jacuzzi before we use it. Last time we were there we had mold floating around. I know I saw it somewhere on the dis....is it the cascade nuggets?

Thanks for your help.

cheryl, you can use basicly any non foaming,non abrasive cleaner in a whirlpool. cascade would work fine. i work for a plumbing and heating supply house)

You can use either a little bleach or some auto dishwasher detergent. Since the auto dishwasher stuff is already in the villa, that's what I use. It has enough bleach in it to kill the mold that can accumulate in the pipes when it hasn't been used for awhile. I do that at home as well.

We are headed to OKW for Springbreak end of March. Does anyone know if the main pool is ready?

Thanks

Thank you....I thought so, but now that we are getting closer, I am starting to get my things together!!!! Can't wait for April

We are in building 15 (1511) 1 bedroom. I was a bit worried we would be under the GV, but we are actually next to it, not under it. They are doing exterior renovations on buildings 63 and 64 just next door. It looks like siding is being replaced etc. I'm not sure if they are also doing the interior renovations expected or not, but I would say if anyone has stayed in 11 and 12 recently, we might know if those were done inside, because I seem to recall Doc talking about those buildings being done in January. I have a feeling they are just doing exteriors yet on these buildings. I'm thinking perhaps these are the last of the exterior renos that were started last year. I'm thinking maybe the interior renos start next, and my guess is they will do the first buildings that had exterior renos first as well.

The HH buildings are 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, & 26. I would not be discouraged if I did not get a villa near the HH. We have stayed in each area accept Miller's Road and have never been disappointed in the accommodations or the view. We've always enjoyed a peaceful, laid-back, scenic stay at OKW. Unlike Kildani our wildlife is limited to ducks, turtles, lizards, heron, and, occasionally seagulls.

I never understood why 23-26 were considered HH when 62 & 63 are sooo much closer??? We have never stayed in 11-14 but would like to. I think our 2 teenage boys would like to be closer to the b'ball courts.

i think its because your are at the first bus stop and those bldgs were getting requested? we stayed in 11 this past october, its was okay but we got the nice view of the "florida weeds". but you are closer to hh.

Hi can I ask, do the 1 bedroomed villas have safes in them and do you have to leave a credit card to enable them to function?

Many thanks

the last i was there , oct 09, there is a safe in closet in the bathroom. there was a key in the lock that you would take with you. i know some resorts have the electronic safes, put in your own numeric pass word to open and lock the safe. but never had to leave a credit card for the safe.

many thanks for your reply..

I noticed that the "NO MORE free valet parking for DVC members" has been going on since October. I thought I'd prime the pump to keep the OKW Lover's thread going. But, then again, perhaps this is just another way to document that OKW is still Disney's best kept secret.

thats one of the best things about okw. you can park at your room, not in some huge parking lot a mile away.

We say that all the time to friends of our who own at the Beach Club. They are always raving about the pool....and yes the pool is nice, but I much prefer to park the car right near the door. And I like Turtle Pond pool better anyway! And so don't our kids!!

Cheryl,

Great picture of your son at the pool! Our countdowns have begun... I am a little over four weeks and you are just a little bit more if I remember correctly.... we are just missing each other! I was laughing when I read you were starting to gather things for the trip.... i.e. the tub cleaner.... I am starting to go through my spring clothes! I am going right to the gurgling suitcase, getting one of those lovely umbrella drinks and the fabulous coconut shrimps they have. After that the flower show and Peter Noone from the Herman's Hermits. OKW... truly paradise after the winter we have had. 70 plus inches of snow in the Philadelphia area..... Yes.... again I say it is time for the splendar of OKW

I love the "Turtle Crawl" they have with a big wedge of pineapple and then get the asian spicy wings....yummy. Love the shrimp too....I do miss the Conch Fritters though, wish they would bring them back with that spicy sauce.

2 trips ago, we were the first one's at Olivia's for breakfast, and Maxim got to turn on the fans or something silly like that. He got a nice little card and a cute breakfast "dessert".....I just love OKW.

I wish we were going to be there at the same time!!!

can't wait...38 more days until we leave
