OKW Questions

[ocdb8r]

We will be staying at OKW for the first time this summer. Since we do not rent a car, I was wondering how our luggage gets to our room....or for that matter how do we get to our room. Do we all hop on the Bus luggage in tow, or do they have a golf cart system similar to CBR?

Does someone out there have a map of the OKW buildings. I'd like to request a building, but would really like to look at the layout first.

Are the refridgerators at OKW Studios smaller than at VWL studios? We've only stayed in a studio at VWL and I found the refridgerators to be quite large there.

Finally,

Bus Transportation - what is the "on-demand" program?

TIA
Charlie

I can't answer all your questions but I can help with a few. I've not stayed at OKW yet. My first trip as a DVC member is in September.

Here is a map of OKW.

I have toured OKW and it looked to me that like all the resorts, bell services will take you over to your room after you've check in.

The luggage and people are transported to your room on the same cart... luggage on the back, people up front

Here's a map of OKW

I haven't used the on demand bus system or stayed at VWL, so I can't help on those.

WE stayed at OKW during the Easter Holiday and the bus on demand system is that if there is a group of people of waiting to leave the park at sometime during the day- they wil call for a bus to come and pick up those people. They will in the morning have disney cast members at the different resorts calling the transportation center to have extra buses pick up guests if there are lots of people waiting at bus stops to go to the parks. I hope this answer some of your questions. JP

I see the other questions were answered, but not the refrigerator one. I haven't seen the ones at WL, but the studios at OKW have pretty large ones. They fit under the counter, so they are bigger than some of the college dorm size ones that go ON the counter. There is one door and they have a small freezer compartment at the top. Big enough for some ice cubes, but not much else.
If you have a one or two bedroom unit, you get a regular size refrigerator like you have in your home.
