Let me just say, WOW!!!!!
We bought our resale after looking through much information on the internet, but never actually visiting any DVC properties. My husband kind of "went along with things" but when he walked into our one-bedroom at OKW he was SO impressed!!!!!
We had room 3534 and had a wonderful view of the turtle pond and golf course. DH enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning and watching people tee off into the drink!
The staff was great! They greeted us so warmly! We even bumped into one of the ladies from general store the next day and she remembered us and said, "There they are enjoying their second honeymoon!" as she passed us. It was such a neat feeling!
Lunch at Olivia's was the best meal I've had at WDW to this point. I ordered the smoked chicken salad, salad with honey dijon dressing, and conch chower. I MUST experiment in the kitchen and find a way to duplicate that chicken salad. Yu-uh-uh-uh-meeeeee!
The room was perfect! Everything neat and clean, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. I found everything to be in great shape except one loose doorknob to the laundry room (from the bathroom) and just a tiny bit of black at the very top of the shower. (hey, no big deal! I get that at home.
)
We used the village pool. Very clean, plenty of chairs, and parents who actually WATCHED their kids.
That was a nice change from some of the other resort pools we've used!
The parks were fine. A little busier than our usual September visit, but the longest wait we saw on ANYTHING was 40 minutes. Oh, and a side note on the attractions--I will never ride the Rockin' Roller Coaster again! EEEK!
The trip was fantastic and we just love our new "home". The only thing I'd like to see is at least one vending machine where I can get a little bag of chips in the middle of the night when I get a salt craving. Can anyone direct me to one at OKW?
I'm not sure what all else to include here, but please feel free to ask any questions you have. And if you're waivering on whether or not to buy, DEFINITELY BUY!!!!!

We were only there 2 days and I just didn't plan on getting the munchies so late at night! Heehee! We did actually run up to the laundry room by the village pool but it was locked and we could see that there wasn't any vending in there other than detergents. And the bus stops only had pop. Oh, well! I just dove into the honey pots I had planned to take home and had sweet instead of salt.
