Staying at OKW

[tmack]

We are booked in a 2 bdrm. for a march trip. Does anyone recommend a certain bldg.? We want to be close to pool(main) but also close to a bus stop. Further, we are hoping buses are efficient enough whereas we can leave park and head back to the villa for a mid-day meal pool visit then hit the park for the evening.

You'd probably get a better answer on the DVC board. (DVC= Disney Vacation Club) However I've stayed there a number of times (being a DVC owner).

If you really want to be close to the main pool then you need to be by the Hospitality House. I have to tell you, that is my least favorite area. We prefer Turtle Pond Road, as it is far more quiet. You can easily take the internal bus to the main pool or use one of the quiet pools.

We love OKW and never have a problem with the buses. Best part about OKW is they don't share with the other hotels.

Enjoy your trip.

Buses run every 20-30 minutes. They are not on a set schedule just a constant cycle, so you should not have to much of a problem with them. If you want to be near the main pool you want to request near the Hospitality House. The bldgs are 11, 12 (smoking), 13 and 14 directly across the street...62, and 63 (to the side) and 23, 24, 25, 26 behind. The bus stop for 11-14 and 62/63 is at the Hospitality House and is the last pick up point before the buses head out to the parks (which in turn makes it the last stop when returning). The bus stop for 23-26 is right in front of the loop and is the first pick and first drop off stop for the buses.
