All buses do the loop. Each one stops at the HH before leaving the resort.ETA: ALso - is there an internal bus loop like at Caribbean Beach?
I just booked OKW for my early Dec trip. I am really excited to try this resort out. I rented the DVC points. As the above poster stated, I hope the boats are running by then

I was leaning that way. I’m 30 so I hope to use it to the end. Just feel weird buying sight unseen. I assume everyone in this thread loves it lolI'm guessing it would depend upon your age, now. And how many years you'll be able to use it. I purchased in 1992, so I hope I survive and am reasonably healthy untin the original 2042 end date. If you're young, or have heirs you know will want it, I'd probably go for the 2057 contract for the extra $1,050.
I haven't reached out yet. I was going to in a few weeks. I didn't even think that I would get points for 2020 since I have a December use year. These tips are really helping. Thanks everybody!We ended up buying direct for two small 50 point contracts, Oct 2019. We actually made out better than buying resale since it at the time it was $155 PP and we were also given points for the previous year (which can happen towards the end of the year).
Also, another big part of the other reason we bought OKW direct is that if we ever needed to sell one of the 50 point contracts (or God forbid both!) they have a much better chance of selling since it's extended till 2057 plus being small - a combo much more attractive to buyers!
We were put on a waitlist but it was less than a week until a 100 point contract showed up on our guide's desk.
Have you reached out to DVD yet to put feelers out? Doesn't cost anything to weigh your options!
We also bought blind, but after weighing so many pros and cons, we feel confident that we made the best decision for our family and are still very happy with our decision, so good luck!
HTH!
If you were looking to buy resale for a small contract with the extension to 2057, they are unicorns - I've seen about a total of 2 contracts pop up within the last year with that combo (I stalk 3 resale websites daily), and all were gone within minutes! They appear to teeter ~$120 PP.
There are, of course, small 2042 contracts that do pop up, but I don't recall seeing 30 points, it's usually 25 or 50.
HTH!
Did you get free park admission until 2000 with the early contracts? A friend of mine bought OKW when it first opened and I thought he told me that.They aren't necessarily odd sizes for add-ons at OKW, considering the original contracts were a minimum of 230 points. We bought a 230, then did 3 add-ons 40, 40, and 35
At that price might get a bidding war.Wow, some 50 pointers landed and 2 of them are extended till 2057! won't be long b4 they disappear, $116 PP!
Not sure if you got an answer but this was open when we were there in mid-August.I’m not saying to walk on the cart paths, but part of the walking path is used for short distances for cart paths.View attachment 531255
The above path is used as a cart path to get to and from the Clubhouse, this path is not on a fairway. The only other way to walk to SSR is to take the bridge to the Tree House Villas and walk through it to the Grandstand section to the Carriage house. If you could walk on a path at all used for golf you couldn’t even walk on the bridge from South Point to the walking path, because that is used as a cart path for the golf course.
