The closest walk I've had at OKW was about 20-30 seconds to the bus stop. The longest walk anywhere on the resort is estimated at about a 5 min walk to the closest bus stop. I wouldn't consider that "long" though ? Bus service is good at OKW from our past experiences.and then find yourself with a long walk to the bus stops, you may not find the decentralized, ample parking aspect quite so attractive.

The walk to Epcot is about 10-15 min, and the walk to MGM is about 20 min from BWV. And most people don't even consider that long.![]()

We feel the vacation home feel at all the DVC resorts. We certainly do not feel as though we are staying in a hotel room when we stay in a villa at VWL, BCV or BWV. I have never understood this comment. Another comment I have never understood is OKW is like condos but yet a villa at VWL, BCV & BWV is considered what? Not a hotel room that is for sure, maybe a vacation apt? So then we have DVC condos and DVC apts I guess.dianeschlicht said:If you like large units, vacation home feel, lower point values and great bus access, and parking outside your door, OKW is for you. If you like the DTD area, and don't mind outdoor hallways as long as it gives you access to a self parking area close by, then SSR would be your choice. We found bus service very good there too. If you like hustle and bustle and don't mind walking 15-20 minutes to get to a park or waiting and spending 30 minutes getting to those parks by boat, and like to be in the heart of a busy nightlife area, and don't mind long hotel hallways, and like valet parking, then BWV would be your choice.
