"How was Olivia's? We are thinking of eating there on our first night - do you think we would need to make an ADR?"

We ate here in 2010 on our first night. Didn't need a ADR and the Caeser Salad was soooo yummy. DH can't remember what he had but that was excellent too.

Kate,can you please tell me a bit more about the entertainment on offer at OKW? What sort of times were activities going on?

Thanks x
There is something going on everyday, you can pick up a timetable from the Community Hall when you get there.
Here is an example of days activities (times might not be dead on)

2pm - Pool Party (activities for the kids in and around the pool)
3:30pm - Karoke outside the Community Hall
5pm - Craft activity in CH (some activities were a $1 or $2)
6pm - Campfire - marshmallow toasting
7pm - Movie under the Stars - a kids film shown on a huge outdoor screen

Definitely is, DTD and AK - we ate at AK and was a great meal. We all had entrees costing about $30 with refillable sodas and dessert and it was about $35 tip (there were 5 of us eating on the adult dining plan)

It's all sheets and blankets at WDW, I was tempted to pack a cheap duvet still vacuum packed but DH told me I was being ridiculous so I didn't bring it.

Thanks
All I did was put the request on our booking, I did double check it was there (booked with Disney UK) a couple of days before we went by calling reservations.
When we got there I did feel that block 18 was not close enough to HH, but that was as close as they could get us.

Goods to Go is the QS, it is located at HH along with the refill station. It didn't have the greatest choice (we went to POR to eat lunch and the choice there was immense). But to honest we were out most days so eating at the parks, DTD.
There is also only outside seating which is great when the weather is good.
I do believe they have another refill station and snack bar at Turtle Road, but we never when down that far.

We only had breakfast at Olivias, but it was great breakfast and the CM's there are so friendly.
I would make an ADR just to be safe for your first night.
