192 does have mile markers. I don't recall the one for WM but I know it's past the 14 mile marker as we didn't get to it when we went to Medieval times in March. There is an easier and quicker way to get to the Publix, WM and the like on 192 than going to Crossroads and turning right on 535.
Exit OKW and turn left on Community Dr., at the light turn left on Bonnet Creek Pway, go to the second light and turn right on Buena Vista Drive, go under the overpass and take the on ramp for 536/Epcot Drive away from Epcot. Cross I-4 and go to 535 then turn right. 192 is maybe 2 miles with one of the Publix being on the left. To get to WM and Sam's, turn left on 192 and it's a few miles out for each. Seems Sams is first on the left then WM a little ways down on the right, I haven't been to the Sams so I'm not tatally sure on that one.
There is a new Publix being built that's even closer. It's on the left right after you turn onto International Drive behind the outlet mall and right on the corner of the road that goes from I drive to the outlets. To get there, I think you would go strait on 536 crossing 535 then turn left in about a quarter mile onto I drive. The publix will be maybe a mile or less on the left. For those of you thinking you should go to the other Publix to avoid the risk imposed by the outlets, there's another outlet set the other way so either way you're at risk, LOL.
OKW added hair dryers a year or 2 ago to be consistent with the other
DVC resorts. I don't think a toaster is a staple but you can ask for one. As noted, there is no formal utensils. You will get paper plates and platic for four for one meal. Four coffe cups, four large and four small tumblers I believe is the allotment. Only a small sink, small fridge and a small microwave with no cooking dishes.
The free W/D are by the pools. Icemakers by the bus stops I believe.
