OKW lovers thread !!!

[WDWMom]

I'm glad to learn of someone else who prefers the TP area. I'm more a fan of bldgs 30-33, but I'll stay in any of them rather than Miller's Road.

We feel the same extact way about your whole post

Just booked today for October and requested TP area because we were looking for quiet with a peaceful view. Got the idea from reading this thread. We are adult only and will have a car. Besides we like to walk and the resort plan looks like a nice place to go for a hike! We will be in a 1 bedroom.

The walk to HH is a nice one. Love walking in the morning up and back from TP area.

We will be staying at OKW the first two weeks in May. I talked to the front desk there this am. The CM told me that all buildings have not been refurbished. Can anyone tell me which buildings have been refurbished and which ones are in the process of being refurbished? Thanks Much.

This is crazy. We just returned from OKW (HH area, 2br) on Sat. 3/19. When we checked in at OKW the Bellman who delivered our luggage told us that the last villa was completed the week before. If they are not completely renovated I believe most of them are so your chances of getting a renovated one are high. Just a suggestion, I would nicely request a renovated villa when checking in and if you can check-in early that would increase your chances. Good luck!

Somehow we always end up in South Pointe. But I have never been dissapointed. I am just afraid that when go are at AKV in May I am going to miss OKW so much. Whish me luck.

You can always visit, pool hop, or eat at Olivia's if you miss it too much.

We felt that way a few years ago when we did a last minute trip. All we could get into was AKL - go figure. We missed OKW and had to go pool hop just to get our fix.

Thank you so much - I am now using it as my desktop too! (hope you dont mind...)

I had the standard lighthouse pic up as mine, so this is a nice change, even if its making me want to book another tirip!!

I love OKW pics too... I know I've posted this previously, but this is one of my favorites... and it is also my wallpaper for my computer. Each time I close stuff down I think, "ohhhhh I love OKW!"

4 more months for us... that's a long wait!

What a great [ic. We were just there in November. Can't wait to get back.

Does anyone have photos they are willing to share of the different villa views available from the different OKW areas, i.e., views in HH, views from villas in the Turtle Pond area, Miller Rd, etc.

Thanks,
Kate

My views from our TP studio are post 1303 on page 87 of this thread. Go back and check them out!

They aren't that great of pictures. I'm not a photographer that's for sure!

 

[dianeschlicht]

This is from building 46 (South Point)

And this is from a studio balcony on Turtle Pond. I think it's building 40.

I love seeing the swampy pond, I would be happy with such a view. Thanks for pointing me to your photos.
