Very excited! Got our OKW Grand Villa for August 2015!!

[shortypots]

So I am very excited as we were able to get our Grand Villa for August 2015 at OKW. I have requested a Turtle pond location or a water view. Is there really a bad view at the Grand Villas? We did not get Near Hospitality house.

Also, I cannot remember how the busses work since it has been a while since I have been there. Is there one that will drop you off at the HH? And then back to the closest one to your room?

Anything else I need to know about Grand Villas would be awesome! Thanks!

Buses returning from the theme parks stop at Peninsular Road, then South Point, then Turtle Pond, then Miller's Road and, finally, HH. So catch any theme park bus to get to HH. Internal bus (also DTD bus) stops at HH first, then Miller's Road, Peninsular Road, South Point, Turtle Pond, the HH (I think that is how it changes). You can walk over to Peninsular Road bus stop if you are leaving HH and catch any bus to get back to Turtle Pond.

Thanks! We actually changed our dates from June to August because DH got an awesome award at work that included a trip to Maui! So we are going to the add on at the Big Island and Oahu at Aulani. But we get to stay at the Grand Wailea on Maui. So excited! And I am just as excited about this OKW trip because we are getting to go with really good friends of ours, my brothers and their kids and now we can all stay in one room! Granted a 2bd and studio would have been cheaper, but now we can all stay together!

Congratulations to your DH! As a side note, my family loved, loved, loved the Grand Wailea in Maui. You are going to have a really fabulous, once in a lifetime, vacation!

Hi, I'm staying at OKW later this week. I'd understand your bus route correctly? Are there two bus options? One that runs from the parks, plus an internal bus I can take from HH to locations around OKW? We also found out we can request 2 ammenities option with online check in. I was going for first floor and canal view. But now I'm thinking I should drop one and opt for a specific road location. Any suggestions on that? Is Peninsular a good option? Thanks
