Our family has had many, many wonderful stays at WDW (32 now to be exact). When we went this past Christmas, I wrote a lengthy trip report because for many reasons, it was one of our most magical trips ever. Here's a link to that report:

We just returned from 9 nights at OKW. This too was a wonderful trip with many happy times, but I just don't have the energy (or the photos) to do a full-fledged trip report, so here's a mini version.
We are a family of 4 - DH, me, DD21 and DD17. This trip was added because of that amazing PAP offer last year to DVC members (I know many of you added trips because of that). So it was sort of "last minute" and we were able to book 9 nights in a studio at OKW (our second favorite resort - our favorite is our home resort AKV).
DH, me and DD17 drove from Appleton, WI. DD21 lives in MN and since she had 3 jobs she had to take time off work from, we flew her down and back so she wouldn't have to "waste" time in the car.
Us drivers left Appleton around 4pm on Thursday, June 13. Our intent was to drive until we were tired and stop for the night. Well, we wound up doing a really good job of sharing sleeping and driving time and we wound up making it straight to Orlando in 24 hours. So I called CRO and got 1 night at Pop Century with an AP discount.
On Saturday, June 15, we checked in at OKW. We had requested a first floor room by a pool. Boy did they grant that request. We were put in room 5610. We were on the 1st floor and could see the pool from our balcony! It was an awesome location and very quiet "back" there.
Here are some photos of the studio room:
