OKW Photos

My husband and I are seriously considering purchasing a resale at OKW. Does anyone have any photos they could share, and maybe first hand info on what you like or dislike about OKW, that is if there any dis-likers out there

You will definitely get opinions on both sides. We own at OKW and absolutely love it. The resort is quite spread out with lovely grounds. It is situated on a golf course so many of the villas have golf course or waterway views. There's a lot of wildlife (bunnies, ducks, assorted birds, armadillo and the occasional deer) and the whole place has a very relaxing feel. It is themed after Key West, Florida and all of the buildings are painted in pastel shades.

Some don't like the condo-like feel of OKW, preferring hotel-style accommodations, but we really like it. It truly feels like we are in a home, rather than a hotel and we love that. The units are the most spacious at WDW since OKW was the first DVC property built. They learned, with subsequent properties, that they could make the units smaller and still sell them so no other DVC property has units as large as OKW.

Transportation from OKW is by bus. There is also a boat that can take you to Downtown Disney. We've never had any bus issues when staying there and have always found them to be timely and efficient. There are 5 bus stops within the property so you just head to the one closest to your unit and go from there.

We've been happy OKW owners for more than 10 years now. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me!

First of all, we are the type who love the condo-style resorts (OKW and SSR). We drive to WDW so we love parking just outside our building. We love the quietness of these two resorts, a great place to relax and be away from all of the hustle and bustle of the parks. We love the bigger 1 & 2BR villas at OKW. The living area is much larger than others with a bigger table and buffet area. It also has an additional love seat besides the sofa sleeper and chair. We also love the balcony which is big enough for a table and four chairs. The only thing I don't like so much is that there are some areas that have very mature vegetation and can block the view from some rooms. Here are a couple of room photos:
