OKW Pool

We are booked for the BWV in August but with the new August - September special if we change to OKW we can save over $1000.00 on the trip. My DD is worried that OKW does not have a slide because I can't find a picture of it on the WDW website. Can someone please assure her that there is a waterslide at OKW.

Re: OKW Pool

Daisee is right, OKW has a slide. The pool was redone a few years ago so it's very nice.

Here are a lot of OKW photos, including more pictures of the slide: Old Key West Photos

As a totally BIASED OKW lover you will NOT be sorry! BWV may have a little more "flash" but OKW more than makes up for it in the size of the suites and the "village" atmosphere. I'd be happy never staying anywhere else on WDW property.

Funny slide story: We were there a few years ago when the slide was opened in January. It was a really cold day, but to christen it a whole bunch of castmembers went down in their clothes. It was so much fun cheering them on! The pool's great - your DD will love it. (Also 3 other quiet pools).

Re: OKW Pool

We actually prefer the pool at OKW over the BW. The rollercoaster slide is cool, but DD like the beach area behing the lighthouse slide.
