Tinkbellfan,
That just s&cks that your room was so noisy. Not very magical, that is for sure. Hopefully, you did not have any little ones that the garbage truck woke up each morning! Luckily, we have never had a noisy room at BWV in 4 trips there. (Crossing my fingers for January!)
I have to admit, I had read so much about the serenity and peacefulness of OKW that I was shocked at how loud it was there. Our studio looked out over the golf course, and we were woken up each morning to the mowers on the greens at about 6:30am. Naps were destroyed each afternoon by leaf blowers on the course. The outdoor hallways echoed incredibly and we could hear people coming home each evening (we tried to go to bed early because our daughter was only 2.5 years old at the time). however, maybe I just noticed it more because I was concerned about my daughter getting her rest. We all know how cranky young kids can be at the parks when they don't have enough sleep!
So - I am willing to give OKW another try on another trip. Can't wait to try out a big one bedroom! Hopefully, your next trip to BWV will be more peaceful as well!
