Never needed a car at OKW. We get taxis, buses, boat and love walking to Downtown.
We've started going off site a lot more and use Lyft
Its a large resort but easy to get around

We spent 5 nights there earlier this month. After getting groceries on arrival day, the car didn’t move until we left to go to the villa. The buses are very frequent.

You don’t need a car. BUT it’s a very big resort. Do you want to get a bus to the main pool or the restaurant? Or are you happy with a long walk?

We stayed here with a car and I actually wouldn’t stay there again as I felt it was too spread out. I don’t think I would have been happy without a car.

Thank you. That is what I was concerned about.

We requested a room near Hospitality House and it was granted on both occasions. We were 2 or 3 minutes from the Reception/bus stop/boat.

We are staying again in June 2020 and not bothering with a car.

When we stayed at okw in 2017 we hardly used the car on Disney days, the most difficult is a breakfast adr that’s not at a park.

The buses were great and got us to all our early morning park adrs
While the boat to and from Disney Springs was ideal.

I think this time I will just do an Uber or Lyft for an early ADR- it's only $12 from OKW to GF

We stayed for 3 weeks and never wished we had a car. We used the Disney buses and boat, and used Uber when we went offsite.
