Hi everyone. Just found this thread, we have been OKW members since 1996. Absolutely love it, and love to hear "Welcome Home" each time we are there. We have since added points at BWV, and SSR, but OKW will always be home. Will be there a week from today for the weekend whoo hoo! :cheer2:
 
Unfortunately hysteria breeds histeria, so the lady behind screamed for no other reason but that I was screaming! :eek: Everybody's saying what is it, what is it? Thankfully, they aren't little boats which can easily capsize, I did jump up on the seat. See, it was dark and up to the point that my then 11 year son, identified the culprit, I had no idea what it was!:blush: In the end we all had a good laugh about it!

:lmao::thumbsup2
 
.....and Guess who's name came through FIRST on the contract as the Primary purchaser?!!! hint....not mine:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Got that straightened out PDQ! ha ha ha!:rotfl2:QUOTE]

Hmmm, the same thing happened with us regarding "his" name as the primary purchaser. I gave a call and explained that since I was the one in charge of paying for the contract they might want to list me as primary purchaser to insure they received payment. :laughing: Worked like a charm. We received new papers within days with the "correct" listing of purchasers. You would think in this day and time....

Welcome home. We love having DVC.
 
I use to be a hippie, now I am a middle-aged professor - oh my!

I spent years trying to shed the perceived "hippie" image. Now I gladly embrace it. Perhaps that is why I feel most at home at OKW. I'm also on the faculty of an unnamed Midwestern university. You are not alone! :thumbsup2
 

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen the fireworks from DTD while in OKW? And are there any nighttime activities in OKW? Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are many of us out here and OKW fits our "laid-back" style very well. What is your subject area? :goodvibes
 
And also an proud educator (Special Ed & History) albeit at the lowly high school level :teacher:

And a PROUD OKW lover ......shhhh.....don't tell my BCV neighbors ;)

HAPPY EARTH DAY!:hippie:

I began at the "lowly" high school level (SpEd and Economics). Worked my way up to a higher level of incompetance (SpEd Director), retired, then was recruited by the university since the shortage SpEd even extends to higher ed. Now if I could just segue into the Disney Institute as a facilitator or, perhaps the Disney University. But then again its nice to just sit in the Gurgling Suitcase for well-earned, and deserved mental hygiene. :thumbsup2
 
OKW, laid back place, not a wonder it attracts families with speical needs kids and educators who get our kids, we have a little differnet perspective on the world.

:thumbsup2 Not unlike Walt Disney and His Imagineers!!!! OKW helps us cultivate and appreciate that "different perspective".

I wonder where Disney advertises for their educators. Surely not the Chronicle of Higher Ed. :rotfl:
 
Well said... & the Gurgling Suitcase helps that perspective as well! :thumbsup2

I LOVE the Gurgling Suitcase. Maybe it's because it's such a small place, but people there become instant friends. And they make an excellent mudslide. Hope to be enjoying one tomorrow!
 
My area is psych, do think there is any chance Disney's Institute/University needs a psych prof? I wonder where Disney advertises for their educators. Surely not the Chronicle of Higher Ed. :rotfl: Would not that be an awesome job, teaching at Disney. Then I could move even closer to OKW and the magical Suitcase.

You should visit disneycareers.com. It allows you to search for various openings throughout the company worldwide. Individuals that I've met that work at the Disney Institute started working in the park, eg. drove the Safari vehicle at AK before being tagged for the Institute. Fellow also had a degree in psych. :goodvibes

You really can't get a great view, although you can see the one's from Epcot from over some of the tree tops from the pool.

Nighttime activities.....they have a campfire, they have movies by the pool 3 x per week, and they have the pool.

Just got back today and already miss it....
