top floor please!!!:lmao:

Yes, if you want quiet neighbors, ask for top floor. I hate being in the middle floor. It seems I always get the people with elephants for kids or those who enjoy bouncing super balls at 5 AM or playing with the pots and pans on the floor at a similar hour.

Was my first request :thumbsup2
 
I am super excited now!

Can't wait to check it all out. I have such a picture in my mind from reading this thread - I wonder if it is right.

And I have requested a top floor studio too.

:)

:lmao: heck im up by 5am!!!:lmao: ill have to take a super ball with me next trip, ill bounce it off the ceiling if it gets to loud up there!:lmao:
 

We are considering OKW for our Jan. trip. Can anyone let me know the order for the bus stops? I know that renovations are going on right now. I am concerned about my 70+ parents and their difficulty in walking. Thanks!
 
The renovations that affected the HH bus stops should be completed by now. It was to upgrade the luggage and airline check in area. I doubt any more stops will be affected by the room renovations.

the order of stops coming into the resort.

Peninsular

South Point

Old Turtle Pond

Miller's Rd

Hospitality House

A few times on our last visit, the driver would switch around Old Turtle Pond and Miller's Rd. So stay sharp when returning to the resort. One night there were about a dozen people getting off and then realized they were at the wrong stop. It caused quite a jam with them trying to get back on while others were lined up to get off.

hello

Sorry got 2 extremely daft questions for you.

The in room safes in the 1 bedroom would they take a 17inch laptop ?

Do the washing machines ( bearing in mind I am from scotland and ours are usually different) have a place to put fabric conditioner in them during the washing cycle? i am not too keen on using the tumble dryer so not too fussed on the bounce sheets.

Sorry if these are daft questions?

thanks

LOL! Well one trip I had to take the mop and bounce the handle on the ceiling to get my point across! It worked too!:)

I doubt you could put a lap top in the safe, because it wouldn't fit through the door.

The washing machines at OKW are full sized GE models. I don't recall if there is a fabric conditioner spot in them, since I am allergic to fabric conditioners.

Thanks for your help, wondering if should take laptop, just not too sure about a safe place to put it when not in use.

I use fabric conditioner but don't like using tumble dryer except for the undies, as I usually shrink the clothes as I usually use too hot a setting.

thanks

hi cheryl! I would just add that depending on the level of humidity in the air (& your a/c setting) it can take a VERRRRY long time for clothes to air dry at WDW! I've not had a problem with shrinkage using the lower settings.

The dryers have all the usual home settings, so I wouldn't worry about shrinking. You wont want to air dry anything, because it wont dry.

We always have 2 laptops with us, and we just put them back in their computer bags and store them in a drawer when we are gone from the room. We've been doing this for multiple trips a year for 15 years, and never had an issue. We've even left them out and plugged in in plain sight without an issue.

Thanks very much for your help, will consider that carefully.

Thanks very much might do that with laptop too.
 
Can you now do the luggage check-in for SWA at OKW? I thought I read it was coming in the near future. Has anyone done this already? We are flying SWA and leaving WDW on 8/20 - hoping we can use this feature!

SWA is not one of the airlines Disney will check in for. You can always check in for those airlines covered by Disney though. OKW used to always have the baggage check in off the entrance of the HH, but now it has it's own little area to the right of the portico.

I thought WDW recently added SWA :confused3 I think I saw it on the Resorts Board a few months back. I'll have to go do some digging - I probably read it wrong.
