What does everyone think about OKW?

tidoublegrr · 09-16-2005

Hello! We'll be taking our 1st DVC trip this January and are staying at OKW (SSR is our home resort) what does everyone think of OKW? Pros and cons? We were going to stay at SSR because OKW wasn't available for our whole trip beut then it opened up and we switched our ressie to OKW.
We're excited to go-it'll be my niece's 1st trip and my parents are going with us and my dad hasn't been there for 11 years.

Thanks!

We stayed at OKW! We loved it there. The rooms are much bigger than the average DVC resorts. We stayed in building #13. #14 is also a nice building. Depending on the buildings you could have a long walk to the main area.

Here is a site map; http://www.explorethemagic.com/image...resort-map.jpg

We stayed ther and really liked it. It has a more relaxing feel than most of WDW. The Cast Members were great!! They recently added a slide to the main pool!!
