OKW

[MinnieMe2]

Just made reservation to spend three nights in a studio at OKW, five nights in a one-bedroom at VWL end of July/beginning of August -- our first time home !!! DH has arthritis in his legs, so I'm wondering if there's a particular location at OKW I should ask for, with regard to bus stops and pool. We'll have a car, but DH prefers to use Disney's transport.

TIA!

Most of the bldgs are close to the bus stop. The walk to the bus stop will be much easier for your DH than riding the bus to a theme park and walking. We stayed in bldg 34 last month and thought it was a great location, the view and bus stop. If you request a location do so with several bldgs in mind.

We usually stay in the non smoking buildings in the 23-26 block.They are right at the 1st bus stop and the main pool is just 100 yards or so away.

Instead of asking for a specific building, ask the attributes that you need, probably:

• Ground floor unit (most building at OKW do not have elevators)
• As near as possible to one of the bus stops.

If you mention the arthritis, Member Services will mark the request as medical, which gives it a higher priority.

You are much more likely to achieve your goals this way than to ask for a specific building.

Also, make your request by telephone with Member Services as soon as possible, rather than sending a fax before your arrival and hoping that they use the fax to update the requests on your reservation record.
