    DVC Resort “Scent” Recommendations

    So not OKW specific, but Beach Club - Scentsy just came out with one called Summer Rain that reminds me of Beach Club - they have it in a wax for the warmers and a spray...going to have to try it!

    Need Help and Advice about Old Key West

    You should be able to get a 1 bedroom at OKW at 7 months - sometimes even closer to your stay. However, you most likely want to request one of the elevator buildings due to health reasons - they are not technically HH area but are right next to it so still pretty close. There are only 3...

    Split stay or not?

    have two trips planned - one in October for F&W at BCV for 8 nights, then one in February with 4 nights at OKW and 4 nights at BLT (one bedroom at both)- have never stayed at BLT so happy to try it! I unpack but use packing cubes so the unpacking and re-packing are pretty easy!

    OKW 2BR - Location vs. Renovated Unit?

    The Hospitality House stop is the last stop before you leave OKW for your designation. The Penisular Road stop is the first one and is just past the bridge (past HH). We stayed in building 11 across the street and used the HH stop to leave the resort and then got off at Penisular Road and and...

    Security checks at OKW?

    I was there 1/26 to 2/4 and we had the "daily trash service". We didn't leave the room until 9:00 or so each day and never had a problem with them coming before we left. We had a couple days we were in the room mid-afternoon and they came by but it was really quick.

    New security measure: Do not disturb signs being Removed!

    As a DVC member I actually am happy to have trash taken out daily (maybe we are trashy people but when we eat in the room a lot we have lots of trash!). I am envisioning a thread about 3 months from now with folks complaining that their trash was NOT taken out! Change is hard on folks - we...

    Moonlight Magic Worth It?

    Did one at AK one time and liked it - crowds were fine, lines were too - had a chance to speak to DVC executives if you wanted to. I just liked that it was "special" for DVC as much as anything. Signed up for the MK one this year on the 28th - looking forward to that!

    OKW buildings 30-33 are occupied as of today!

    Thanks BillPA - saw that after I posted - it seems like a simple thing but my daughter really likes to get the movies to watch at nice - one perk that OKW seems to still have that BCV took away - no DVD players in those rooms now!

    OKW buildings 30-33 are occupied as of today!

    Do they still DVD players with the TV in the living room? My daughter loves to go get movies to watch at night! NM - saw that someone posted it 1

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    Not sure of building numbers but you can put a medical request on your reservation so you either get a first floor unit or one of the elevator buildings.

    First time dvc renter

    If you go the route of a 2 bedroom I would recommend Old Key West - they are the largest two bedrooms - and the living/kitchen/dining area is among the largest - and they tend to be less points than some other resorts. Other than going to Disney Springs (via boat) you will have to use the buses...

    Two Bed Room or Two Studios?

    We have traveled with friends that have had the deluxe dining plan and extra meal credits (not all of their family was there the entire time). We ate once a day together and they used their credits and then we paid them based on what we used - so for every 3 meals we ate with them we paid them...

    Membership Question

    you can also call them to get your membership number - usually about 2 weeks after close - with the number you can still go ahead and book even before the materials arrive in the mail.

    2 bedroom dvc

    And just one other point - I think most 2 bedroom DVC has a separate step in shower (even the non-handicap rooms) in the "master bedroom" - the one with the King bed ... again - not grab bars etc but still a step in shower. If you go with handicap accessible some resorts have a variety of...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    Stayed at South Point area in May and loved it - the bus stop is the 2nd one so even with a scooter we never had a problem getting on a bus - even first thing in the morning - Turtle Pond got skipped at least once on our trip.

    Need Your Help!

    Yes, BCV were recently refurbished - either BWV or BCV are great for your group based on the access to everything in Epcot and the couple of clubs over at BWV on the Boardwalk. The pool is nicer at BCV in my opinion but if you are not going to spend a lot of time at the pool then either would...

    What is your favorite DVC resort and why?

    Have points at both BCV and OKW - love them for different reasons - while I never feel as if I am at Disney until I hit the MK my daughter and I love going to Epcot and just strolling around - grabbing something to eat or people watching - it is probably our most visited park - and BCV cannot be...

    Any recently refurbished one bedroom units at Old Key West?

    I was there the first of May and it is the first building on the right as you enter OKW. It is one of the elevator buildings.
