Someone's posted up a ton of OKW refurb pictures (albeit 1 bed) on the dis boards. They look OK, but very grey, a bit like beach club. You will all be pleased to hear they kept the crocodile finish black coffee tables in there. New sofa bed looks nice. I haven't seen the bedrooms yet. They kept the same kitchen cabinets. New work surface and now a glass back on kitchen instead of tiles.

So we moved to OKW from BWV this morning, and despite checking in at 7 am with a very helpful cast member who remembered us, could not get a newly refurbished studio. The resort is full and they are taking out of service 4 blocks in the South Point area (our favourite) and the South Point pool right now.
When we opened the door to our studio in block 18, a voice shouted ‘Welcome Home’ from the kitchenette area . It was a maintenance guy who liked to talk, so I quizzed him. Mostly what he had to say was about the 1 bedroom units (which we usually have) but I pushed him on the studios and he said 2 queen beds as usual, but new ones with legs rather than a solid base and better mattresses and total redecoration. I am going to attempt a studio viewing in a few days’ time and if I succeed will take pics if not readily available by then, and will see if a Murphy bed for a 5th person exists! The maintenance guy didn’t mention one though.

Thanks for the update. Would be good if we could store suitcases under the bed, like you can on DCL. Looking forward to hopefully hearing more!
Enjoy your hols

Multiple people had been told by member services that the studios were getting a sofa bed instead of one of the beds when they were ringing to book. It seemed credible as I saw about 3-4 reporting the same information.
This prompted many people on Facebook threads to start getting worked up about it, and emailing Ken Potrock etc. Then when someone has gone in, the beds were allegedly still 2 queens albeit I haven’t seen any pictures yet. I thus wonder if they changed the plans. Many OKW owners are protective of their resort and like the fact it is the only one with 2 proper beds as many people dislike the sofa beds (hopefully that will change, DVC are trialling new sofa beds now including an excellent Murphy version), Edited at 02:24 PM. |
