And if you are going to the Gurgling Suitcase for your breakfast, you have a problem.

If you are in a one bedroom or larger, you'll have a full kitchen to stock up on all those breakfast foods. Even a studio will have a toaster to pop in a few waffles (but your refrigerator won't have a freezer).

 

[Deb & Bill]

No. Olivia's is the restaurant onsite. The quick service Gurgling suitcase opens at 11am and located at the HH by the pool. The turtle shack at turtle pond pool opens at 11am as well. I would suggest eating breakfast in room or going to olivia's.

If you're near HH, the gift shop will sell some items, but definitely not waffles.

The store might even have frozen waffles in the cooler. Olivia's is really good for breakfast, too.

Sorry, but yes, the quick service, is Good’s Food to Go, which is next to the bar called the Guirgling Suitcase. Good’s Food to Go offers breakfast (coffee, French Toast, eggs, breakfast bowls, oatmeal etc), lunch, dinner (hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches & salads) and ice-cream etc. Hours of operation 7am-10pm.

How did I forget about g2g? I blame it on lack of sleep. Updated post

Sorry if this question has been in answered in one of the previous 155 pages, but is there a list of what OKW buildings have been refurbished and which have not? We have a trip planned for first weekend of February and would love to stay in a refurbished room. Location within the resort is not really a huge concern. We aren't going to swim and we enjoy walking the grounds, so it's not necessary that we be close to the HH. TIA!

You'd be safe requesting Turtle Pond or South Point so far. But that could change in five months.

When we went just a couple months ago, there were 2 buildings in Southpoint that weren't done yet. I know building 51 was one of them, because that's the one we got. It REALLY needed it-it was the first time at OKW that we requested a room change due to maintenance issues. I don't know if building 51 was done right after we left.

We LOVE Olivia's!!! Mmmm.

We LOVE Olivia's!!! Mmmm.

Love it so much that when we stay at SSR we walked there for breakfast!

Stop it! Nobody here has ever had a bad room there. Just kidding - I have had a few bad rooms. Still my favorite resort. Still a fan of the Disney Vacation Club (it used to be one and only) but some of those rooms had real problems. For the $$$ we spend on dues, should have been taken care of a long time ago. Some wear and tear is normal but unclean and broken is not.

Breakfast at Olivia's? YUM! If you walked over you could order extra as you would be walking it off between SSR and OKW!!! We really love their buttermilk fried chicken dinner too.

 

[RachelTori]

I love OKW and SSR (we’ve owned there 13 years), but I have never figured out how to walk between the 2!! Where are the paths at each resort please??!! TIA

Hi all, just back from 2 weeks at OKW (cash through Disney). I wanted to thank everyone that helped with questions before we went away. It was so useful to have some prior knowledge before going away. So, before we went I requested a room with a high floor and a second door into the bathroom. Neither of my requests were granted - we were in building 18 on the first floor. I asked if they had anything else as I’d also asked for somewhere near Turtle Pond Road. The only thing they had was in building 45. After a bit of pondering we decided to stay with building 18 (Millers Road) and I’m so glad we did! The room wasn’t a refurbished one but it was so lovely. We could look across the golf course and see Hospitality House. We used to get on the bus at Millers Road going out and get off at Peninsular Road coming home and just walk round the corner to our villa - much quicker than taking the bus all round the resort. We also had a lovely quiet pool about a minutes walk away which was great. A lovely area to stay in and one I’d never considered. I just wish I could afford to become a Vacation Club member. OKW would definitely be my home resort!! Loved every moment of being there x

2 weeks, you lucky devil! Thank you for sharing, that’s exactly why we love it!

Does anyone else remember the famous Richyams who insisted that OKW was the only true DVC resort? Somehow I was reminded of that. He was DH's hero, because after one stay at OKW, DH insisted on selling our points at another resort and own at OKW

 

[BillPA]

I remember all of his great posts, RIP Richyams

He was right!

 

[Deb & Bill]

Yeah, he used to say at BWV you could sit on the balcony in a chair and reach into the refrigerator for a cold one.

Hoping to book a 3BR Grand Villa here in June 2019 for a large family trip-11 total (7 adults, 4 kids under 6)...any tips or advice on location requests, amenities, etc? Will be my first time at OKW

Book it now or you might be too late. I booked a GV in early June a few years ago and got all but one night at 11 months out. I had to hope to get the last night at seven months out because I didn't have enough OKW points.
