“Perfect place to stay with a family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We chose to stay here for a week long extended family vacation in October 2012. Our party consisted of one family with 2 small children (4 and 5 yrs), one set of grandparents, and one couple without kids. These condo-style units were LARGE, and very nicely furnished. We were very comfortable, and could do laundry in the in-room washer and dryer (they even brought detergent with daily room cleaning). I was worried when I booked because the photos on Disney's website make the rooms look a big outdated, but that was not the case at all. This is a huge resort, but it has a nice quiet ambiance with plenty of fun things to do with the kids 'at home'.

Room Tip: worth it to get a room with a washer and dryer (2 bedroom +)

“Nice Resort”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

I originally booked a studio for just myself and my husband for 10 nights. We ended up being joined by my two teenage sons so space was a bit tight as we are used to staying in condos or villas. These studios have recently been re-furbed and whilst the decoration and soft furnishings were new the rest of it was still a little tatty. Nothing major but a few chunks out of furniture and scuff marks on the walls. The bathroom looked a bit grubby in places. I wouldnt pay full price to stay here (Disney class it as deluxe, l wouldnt). Overall the resort is lovely, very large and if you arent by the main area and dont have a car the walk can be very long. There are a number of pools which were lovely and warm. All the staff were excellent and we enjoyed catching the boat to Downtown Disney. The fast food outlet is very themepark quality but the main resturant was quite acceptable. There were also a number of activities for the kids.I would stay again if the price was right.

Room Tip: Request a room near to receiption if you dont have a car.

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

We stayed in a 2 bedroom vacation home. It was very spacious and well appointed with a full kitchen, sleeper sofa and sleeper chair. King bed with a jacuzzi tub in the master suite, 2 queens in the second bedroom and a full laundry room.

“Peaceful and Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

As a Disney Vacation Club member for over 10 years, our hotel of choice is usually the Boardwalk.
Because of EPCOT's Food and Wine festival, it was not available for the number of nights we requested. We chose OKW as we had stayed there when my now teenage kids were younger.
We were lucky to have left our devastation in NY after Sandy (the trip was planned in advance) and walked into our huge two bedroom with heat, hot water, and electricity (TV and internet as well!) We felt truly spoiled.
The room was not close to the hospitality house. That did not matter to us as we had rented a car. We loved the convenience of driving up to our room, which was located, at our request, on the first floor. I would recommend a higher floor to those of you who might not want to hear people above you, as only the bedrooms are carpeted.
We were close to a bus stop, which was easy when we decided to split up our daily activities.
Room was extremely spacious. It can probably accommodate up to 8 people and we were only 4. Everything was neat, clean, and in working order. Patio overlooked a lake with a fountain and was nice to sit with a cup of morning coffee.
Our plans for March are for the Boardwalk, but I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are with a larger group, have a car, or want a relaxing, peaceful resort.

“Great retreat after a day at the parks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012 via mobile

2 adults 2 girls 9yrs 7 yrs their first Florida trip. On friends advice paid the fairly hefty upgrade for 1 bed apartment. Soo glad it was bliss. Washing machine/ dryer so useful . Large jacuzzi bath just the trick for aching feet. Beds even sofabed v comfy .We had a car so didn't mind where it was but glad we asked for high floor, v quiet. Tried to phone hotel for room choice few weeks before but they couldn't help said only via your travel agent unless you booked directly with hotel. The place is huge can see why those rooms close to reception highly prized . Was worried it might not feel disney went mainly for the free dining . However we went to numerous disney hotels for dining and to use their quick service restaurants for a change ALL of us agreed we preferred ours for its less hectic , friendly and very pretty setting.
For us disney dining was part of the fun but I spend hours researching the numerous restaurants beforehand and booked within a few days of the allowed 180 days. Tried to change nearer the time but no availability so stuck with plan . We were somewhat ruled by our dining reservations first week but the likes of Fulton crab, flying fish and royal castle meant it was well worth it . Having run out of table service by end of 2nd week we had plenty( in fact didn't use all since they were often v large and easy to get 1 adult and use for 2 kids . They don't check at the moment if its adult or child meal for counter service.) counter services to use for dinner this meant we could be more flexible by then . If you are planning to eat at different hotels best to have hire car other ways have to travel to a park and get bus to hotel from there . Do able but suspect time consuming . Was the driest holiday my husband and I have had for years due to this and the cost of a glass of wine ! Helped keep the weight down since the desserts especially key lime pie were often delicious . Strange that it seemed cocktails often cheaper than a glass of wine in Florida .
Used the magic hours especially the late ones a lot spend the days seeing shows and quieter rides and i went to outlets while others went to disney quest or water park . Most we ever Queued was 30mins this way. Gutted they are reducing the magic hours next year .
Hotel v well positioned for parks and v close to downtown disney nice to get a boat there . Halloween day saw free activities most if day at hotel great for us to have a chilling day by the pool . thought they were going to burst with joy at the amount of American candy they were given at the trick and treat stations .
As you can probably tell we had a ball, have already but deposit for same type room at this hotel next oct .
