Question about dining at OKW

[ghtx]

Not sure if this question belongs here or the dining forum.

I know that Olivia's is a sit-down/table service restaurant. What about the other two - Good's Food to Go and Gurgling Suitcase? Are those both counter service? For both/either of them, if we are swimming at the pool, can we walk up, get an order, and eat it poolside? Is that also possible if we order a dish at Good's or Gurgling from Olivia's (online it says that you can do that)? Thx

Good Food to Go - counter service
Gurgling Suitcase - is the bar area but will sometimes take counter service orders of Good Food to Go
Yes, to getting food/drinks and taking them to the pool area

Yes-I suggest ordering it 'to go' from Olivia's & either taking it back to your room or to the pool. Food is pretty decent IMHO. A step up from the quick service at Goods-which aint bad either.

Just FYI....there is also a snack bar at the pool on Old Turtle Pond Road in case your staying near there.

The only way to get it to go at Olivia's is to sit at a table, order your food and when it is served to you ask for it to be put in a box. There is no "to go" ordering at Olivia's. The dining plan ruined that with guests demanding to use a Counter Service credit for to go orders.

Goods to Go is just the poolside dining facility. Small counter, limited menu. It was never intended to be a food court or full service counter service. It was just supposed to be for guests at the pool who decided they wanted something to eat and didn't want to leave the pool to go back to their own kitchen or kitchenette.

That has seasonal hours. Might be only open a few hours a day or even closed for days at a time.

It also closes during inclement weather and reopens after it clears.

Years ago you used to be able to order off Olivia's menu from Goods to Go, I wonder if this is still possible.

Was there back in June. Went for breakfast & once we got into the restaurant, we decided we wanted to get food elsewhere (to go). Hostess heard us & suggested we order right there & they'd box it up for us. Told us next time to just call & order. Maybe it was a one off?
