We stayed at OKW from May 23 - 29 & heard Welcome Home several times starting with our first time through the gate. We heard it every time we came "home," when we checked in at the front desk, from several bellman outside, etc.
We were waiting near the bell desk for my sister & niece to arrive on the shuttle from the airport. When they got off the bus, a bellman said, "Welcome Home!" to them. My niece was funny. She asked why he said welcome home since she was not at home, she was on vacation. I explained to her that it was my vacation home & she was my guest, so they wanted to be sure she was welcomed to my home

The same thing happened the second trip in 2001. Finally last year we got our welcome home at the gate. Now this year (last month), we got it about 10 times! Almost everytime we went through the gate we got a "welcome home" from the guard, especially one female guard (brunette, who always seemed to be there!). I don't think we ever got it from the guard at Boardwalk. We always get it at the front desk.
