OKW lovers thread !!!

I agree. Either your bottom needs to be sitting in the chair or you need to be in the pool and within sight of your chair.

What about those of us that need to get a refill at the Gurgling Suitcase?

 

[stitchfan18]

I don't mind people having pool chairs if they are in the pool area, or run quickly to use the bathroom and get refreshments. What is really annoying is when people are back at their villas, or they have 5 pool chairs saved for mom, dad, and three kids when mom is the only one that is going to use a chair the whole time the family is at the pool...

Oh, that is ok also, as long as you bring one back for me.

No problem What is your adult beverage of choice?

That pool chair saving thing is getting out of hand. The resorts are going to have to do something about that.

When we were there earlier this month, we just took the towels off the chairs and used the chairs ourselves. (the towels were still folded and just laying on the chairs). My thought is if there is nothing personal on or around the chair, then it is fair game. Pool towels are not for "saving" a chair for later in the day.

we dont go to the pool. i didnt know pool chairs were a big issue. i think they should stack them up at hanks and rent them for $30 bucks a pop and apply the money to my ann. dues. (im just kidding!!!) on with the pool chair problem.

We haven't had major pool chair problems there, but I hung out by the baby bathtub pool everyday.

August can't come soon enough! And, I'll have a cold glass of chardonnay--whoever is going to the suitcase can pick one up for me....

Love the idea though!

We got home from a no-parks trip a couple of weeks back and stayed at your lovely resort. This was my third stay there, my sons' second stay and my DW/DD's first stay. We left and DW was talking about wanting to find a nice resale contract to expand our points base by adding OKW. Whether that will happen or not, I can't say yet. We need to build up some more cash before we do that - but we have both properly fallen in love with it. It was the perfect resort for relaxing and just enjoying what the World has to offer without stepping foot in the parks. All 5 of us have said that at different times in the past 2 weeks, so it definitely has won us all over. I can't wait to go back and stay again. I'm looking at a quick return in a few weeks, and sadly there was no availability for the nights I was hoping for (only 1 of the 3 I needed was available) - so I'll be at SSR instead - but I'll definitely be popping in for a visit while I'm there.

Thanks Dave. It was so awesome. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been having grills near the building like over at the Treehouses - but I'm not complaining - you've heard before how we love to cook in the villa. Those supersized rooms are fantastic, and yeah, we can't wait to go back again.

From what I understand the rehab is 99% complete. The last three times we stayed we where given a rehabbed unit without asking. The locations in which we stayed were South Point and HH.

The dock is right behind Olivia's. If you look at a map, it is the dock with the watercraft and where the restaurants/shop is near the main buildings.
The boatride to DTD is very relaxing. Enjoy!

The boat ride is very pleasant, and will quite possibly become a tradition for your family. Try the pizza at Wolfgang Puck Express.
