Tell me about OKW.

My mom(53), my daughter(4.5) and myself(3?) are going for a quick trip June 12-15. We have a studio near the hospitality house ressie made. My question is, should we request a certain building and which way do the buses run? My mom has a lot of trouble with her knees and requires assistance. Do I need to request a 1st floor room or ask for building 62? The reason I need to know about the buses is she would not be able to stand for the bus ride and I would like to know where they pick up first, last, etc. Any help is appreciated.

If you have a reservaton in the guaranteed Near Hospitality House category, that does not include Bldg 62, or any of the other bldgs wth elevators. So I would definately request first floor.

The first bus stop on the route is Peninsular Road, near bldgs 23 to 26, which are in the Hospitality category. The actual hospitality area is the last bus stop on the route before heading to the parks.

The near Hospitality House booking category is bldgs 11 to 14 and 23 to 26. See the map below:

The normal bus route is Peninsular Road, South Point, Turtle Pond, Miller's Road, and Hospitality House.

The early morning buses are the only ones where you might have to stand, and the only real reason to choose Hospitality House as abooknig catagory is for that last bus stop, meaning you don't have to stay on the bus through the whole resort. On the other hand, HH catagory is also the most likely to mean your bus might be full by the time you get on.

If you need a first floor room, I would request that instead of a specific building.

when you arrive - ask for a wheelchair for your mother. yes she might not want to use one.

but if she can't stand for long period of times...

some of those lines for rides can be an hour. she will definitely need one.

don't say it is for her - take it with you to the parks - just put your stuff in at first - don't be surprised or say anything if she decides to sit down in it.

Thanks to all. Your response told me exactly what I needed to know.
