New OKW Studios

Hi, I know that the first guests began their stays in the new renovated villas during the last few weeks, but I can’t seem to find much information about the new studios. I did see a few photos posted on a Facebook group but they have been removed and I wish I would have played closer attention!

Does anyone know if the new studio rooms sleep 5?
OKW Studios are much bigger than other resorts where the studio occupancy is 5, so I was hoping so!

Does anyone know of anyone who has stayed in a new villa / studio yet?

Sure someone will be along with a definitive answer for you, but if not, I’ll be there next week and will find out for you.

The re do of okw seems to be one of the best kept secrets! I didn't even get chance to have a nosey at the pics on fb before they disappeared!

There’s one picture of a renovated room on trip advisor. They kept the original cabinets which go back to when it first opened 25 years ago.

Indeed!
I thought I was going crazy as I tried to look back and couldn't find the photos at all.

But why the big secret?

Yes, I did see this. The new white / silver goods look very modern though. This is a 1 bed though, and we don't have enough points for the entire stay in a 1 bed. We must buy a few more 😉 !

Yes, I'm only really interested in seeing what the studio's look like as that's what we stay in!

The original contracts were for 2042, and a few years back DVC offered extensions to the owners until 2057. Apparently the take up wasn't great. Any OKW contract you buy direct from Disney is for 2057.
