OKW lovers thread !!!

[KatMark]

you will never see any mice running around at okw. the only time i have seen one of those blackish/grey snakes is over by bldg 11 but im sure they are all over. i think someone on this thread posted a pic of a snake in the bathroom on the floor in a one bedroom? with all those little geko things running around, there cant be to many snakes.
in june we were waiting for the boat to go from the campground to the contemp. i see eveyone pointing into the water. i walk over and you see two eyes looking up at you, gator!! the boat pulled in and there was a lady flippin out about the gator. the boat driver said, oh, thats just george. hes a six footer and has been around for a few months now. he told the lady where you see water in florida, chances are there is a gator in it. i have seen traps for the gators but like a cm told me, wdw is a big game preserve area. the gators they try to move but you will see alot of deer and other animals.

We were in building 40 and that is where I saw it (husband would have freaked if he saw it). Believe it or not, we also saw one at the condo in Marco Island the week after we were at Disney. We have stayed at the Coronado nine times, and there gators in the water for three years in a row there. It's Florida...we expect it.

I'm sorry I never contacted you. By the time our son got there, we got so busy that I forgot.

Quick question for the OKW experts. Is there a drink at OKW called a turtle crawl? If so, what's in it?

thats ok, im sure our paths will cross again. we started our drive at 3am and i drove the entire way. i made it to the florida welcoming center on i95 by 4pm. i met up with one of the other disdads there for an hour than headed the rest of the way. i had gotten a sore throat in virginia and i was washed out by the time we got unloaded and settled tuesday night. we slept in on wednesday and i wasnt feeling to good wednesday. i slept for about 4 hours before our adr at the rse and crown.
heres a pic of the meet!!!

hes the one with the badge and the gun!!!! as you can tell by looking at me, its been a long day!!

For those wondering if there are snakes at WDW (and in particular at OKW), here is a pic taken while we were at OKW during our May, 2010 trip...

Never fear though. I was told by a high ranking authority (he drives a bus) that this was the ONLY one in all of WDW and we were very fortunate to have seen this rare site. I was informed that this creature was more scared of us than we were of him (yeah right....tell that to my wife and daughter as they were screaming for me to quit taking pics and get back in the room!) It's probably my fault because I was feeding the ducks, rabbits and other animals off our first floor balcony and this gentle, slithering specimen just wanted it's share of free food as well. I mean, we should treat all creatures equally, right? Don't worry about you seeing him. I am pretty sure he was last seen heading to IoA to join the Slytherins at WWoHP!

oh great!!! keep that thing in new york!!! how far can a snake go? im only about 80 miles from the bronx. i remember a few years ago, a truck crashed into a reptile farm in the poconos and a bunch of snakes got loose. i dont know if the ever recovered all of them or not.

Getting very excited, we check in at OKW on 11/12...the countdown is shriking! Haven't posted in ages, but trying to get everything finalized for this trip we've been planning for almost a year. Exciting seeing all the recent pics of the grounds and buildings etc. We haven't been to OKW since 2008, and can't wait to get back there. Though it isn't our "home" resort, we definately feel at home there. exciting!!
