OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

Thank you for this answer. One more question for both the lock-off and the dedicated could the guest sleeping in the living room use the bathroom next to the master bedroom without going into the master bedroom. (I have seen some pictures and it looks like there is a door in the laundry room to the bathroom, but I can't fully tell.
Buildings 30 and higher have a second entrance to the master bathroom through the laundry room. Buildings under 30 do not have a second entrance so the only entrance is through the master bedroom. A design change for phase two of the resort added the second entrance.
 
How late is Conch Flat's open? We won't be arriving until around 9:45 so will probably miss Goods to Go anyway. TIA

There was a design change during OKW construction. In Bldgs #30 and higher, there is an entrance to the master bathroom thru the laundry room. Buildings #29 and lower have to enter the bathroom thru the master bedroom.

If you need the second entrance, be sure to request bldgs #30 or higher.
 
Can someone tell me how late Goods To Go is open and do they sell Mickey Bars ? LOL

I am guessing 10:00 PM based on the menu from Allears

http://allears.net/dining/menu/goods-food-to-go/lunch-dinner

Fair warning: Goods might be the worst CS location at any WDW resort. The menu is extremely limited, and IIRC there is no indoor seating. The good news is that you are only a boat ride away from DTD.

I really can't disagree with this. The food at Goods is no better than the quick food from the parks.
 


And unfortunately the choices are even more limited.

I think the problem at the DVC and deluxe resorts is that they don't have the volume of business to justify a larger QS dining facility. It has been a while since we were there but I liked the QS food at POR.
 
I think the issue with Goods to Go is that OKW was the first DVC timeshare built and they expected guests to dine in their villas using their kitchens, not in a food court. And that is pretty much how it is at all the deluxe resort and the DVC villas.

If you want a villa with the door through the laundry room to the bathroom, request Turtle Pond or South Point, not HHArea or Millers Road.
 


I think every DVC resort has a better food court ( except for Kidani). In all fairness, most DVC resorts built after OKW are attached to a regular resort and some of us just got used to those superior quick service options.
 
Question about Olivia's-is it necessary to make an ADR for breakfast (first week of June)? TIA
 
Yes there is a second entrance to the master bath room through the laundry room but only in buildings 23 & higher. That was a change made after they started building the resort. If you want good views and that second door to the bathroom I would suggest asking for Turtle Pond. great views, nice pool and that second door!

Actually, that's in buildings 30 and higher.
 
Best buildings not near HH??? I have stayed at OKW twice and absolutely love it. Looking for your recommendations. on a non HH building. I would like to use the pool and be on the ground floor and I will have a car. I will be traveling with DW DD(8) and the grandparents.

Our favorite area is South Pointe because it's quiet. The cul-de-sac buildings 53-56 has a quiet pool, laundry room, and a bus stop right there. In the mornings, the buses start at South Pointe so you'll get a seat and then tour the rest of the resort LOL. But the buses are so good and plentiful there that it's the only resort that we will use the bus, and we always drive.

My only issue with laundry at the pool is that folks doing laundry, usually one person, take over the tables so when we go to spend the afternoon at the pool we have to just grab lounge chairs in the sun. It's literally the only negative I have about OKW. I wish the laundry folks would be willing to share tables, or have more tables at the pool for the swimming guests.
 
My favorites are bldgs 30 to 35, in the Turtle Pond area, and 45, 46 and 55 for the South Point area. Be aware that bldg 34 is an HA building, so some, if not all, 1st floor units in that building are handicap/wheelchair modified.

Actually, the first stop is Peninsular Road with South Point next, followed by Turtle Pond, Millers Road and then Hospitality House.

Note that in buildings 29 and lower, there is no access from the living room to the master bath without going through the master bedroom. In buildings 30 and higher, they changed the layout slightly and added a door between them (through the laundry room, if memory serves.) Depending on your sleeping configuration, that might matter.
 
Hooray! We just booked here for our December trip! 5th through the 12th. :santa: Can't wait! It'll be our first trip to this home resort. We also own at SSR and stayed there in February. My BF has never been to WDW during this time of year and I can't wait for him to see all the holiday décor and activities!

The option for near hospitality house was taken so we're looking forward to an awesome view! :boat:

Now to look through the beginning of this thread and get familiar....:love:
 
Hi, we are interested in staying at OKW but we would like a higher floor and we would need an elevator. We would also like a parking lot so as far as I can tell that means we should request Building 62 or 63. If we cannot get that then we will settle for a first floor in some other building but we would rather have a balcony. My question is what view would we have from our studio balcony in Building 62 or 63?
