The hardwood seems like a nice touch to updating the place. But I'm surprised they didn't go for a lighter color. I've never been to OKW, but it seems a little dark for the theme.KirstyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193878300210099431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216032720606615547.post-42729510748780075982012-09-25T19:34:42.519-05:002012-09-25T19:34:42.519-05:00We're staying at OKW for the first time (first...We're staying at OKW for the first time (first time in any DVC villa.. thanks to points rentals!) in February..

Since we've almost always stayed at OKW, the multiple stops don't usually bother me. On our last trip in May, we drove ourselves just about everywhere. Between a scooter and two strollers, it was nice to have our own transportation. However, when the girls are a little older, we'll be back at the bus stop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641220881140363689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216032720606615547.post-86687058708476397772012-06-01T08:44:23.110-05:002012-06-01T08:44:23.110-05:00It's the catch 22 of Disney.

We loved it! Probably because we were up-graded from a one bedroom to a two bedroom villa! For just two of us it offered plenty of room! We loved it. I found the hard wood floors to be nice and not as grimy as carpet can get. We also loved having our own washer and dryer. The only complaint would be that if you didn't have your own car geting to and from the hospitality house was quite a walk. But we had our car so it was no big deal. One other thing was that it was on the third level and we had to use the steps (which is why my husband thought we were upgraded because others didn't want to climb the steps), but again we managed. So we were lucky this time for the upgrade but think that we will always feel where ever we stay now will be small no matter what! I will be staying at AKL in Aug. with my sister, with any luck we can get upgraded again?

This is how we feel about Animal Kingdom Villas. We did have the pleasure of staying in a Grand Villa at OKW last year. I, too, loved the living room lamp, and also had the same comment about the hardwood floors. To already be scratched up is a shame. It's a lovely resort. My only gripe would be the number of bus stops within the resort. While many complain about the long bus rides to AKV, we seem to prefer these to the numerous bus stops at OKW.
