Which Buildings at OKW Have GVs?

[Breyean]

Due to a glitch in the MS reservation system (I know, big surprise), we have a somewhat unique offer outstanding for our up coming trip to OKW (next January).

We are taking another family with a bunch of kids for their first visit to WDW, which will be pretty exciting. We have a GV booked for the trip, and here's where my question comes up.

There are no GVs available near the HH. I'm on the wait list for one, should we get lucky.

If not, then a MS supervisor told me I could call him and request which other building or area we would like and he would make it happen. This is in response to the error I mentioned earlier and it's their way of saying "Sorry".

I have the OKW map in front of me but I can't find online anywhere which buildings have GVs in them. Since we won't have a car, but do have a bunch of youngsters, and all the adults are doing either the 1/2 or full marathon that weekend, we'd prefer something near the HH.

I can see from the map, and our prior visits, that, for example, building 62 and 63 are really close to it, but again, do they have GVs?

Since there are what, 27 GVs at OKW, they are obviously not in every building. We'd like to get one as close to the HH as possible, but also somewhere near a bus stop if not the HH one.

So, does anyone know where I could find this (other than calling MS again - I think they have my phone number blocked by this point, anyway) or know if it's on another thread? I searched but couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance for any experts out there who can help.

See map below. GV buildings are outlined in yellow.

Thanks. Just what I was looking for.

We were just in Bldg 15 in 1523. We had a great view of the golf course - 7th Tee box and the 7th green (surrounded by water). We were about halfway between the HH bus stop and Millers Road bus stop. So we could head to Millers Road if we didnt see a bus go by, or head to HH if we did. It was very secluded, but if you are walking to the start for the marathon, you are pretty much as close as you can get to Disney Vacation Club Way and Bonnet Creek Parkway intersection (the marathon start is just beyond that intersection).

The Millers Road pool was nice.

Yes, we've stayed near that pool before. My son will never forget it. One late afternoon the two of us went for a run, even after spending a day at the parks. He was probably around 12 or so.

We finished and decided to jump into the pool wearing our running shorts, which back in the late 1990s were actually short. Unfortunately, when he came up for air after jumping in, his shorts stayed at the bottom. To make things worse for him, there were some girls around his age hanging out at the pool. He stayed in the water, it wasn't like it was X-Rated or anything, but boy was he mortified.

It's a great family story we love to zing him with even today.

We just stayed in a GV in bldg 22. It was a very quiet location with a great view of the golf course. But it was about a 3-5 minute walk to the bus stop & quiet pool. Not horrible, but could be a pain with a lot of kids. We had a car but others in our group took a bus and they said the walk got old.

If you're staying in a GV, it'll be great wherever you are! We loved it! My son called it "our mansion".
