DVC Resort with the chillest vibe?

[tidefan]

Saratoga. I always feel like I've been able to relax more when we've stayed there. I think that some of this is because we tend to use the pools more at SSR it seems than any other DVC resort, save Aulani (which wasn't in the poll).

So I am staying at OKW for the first time. People in a foursome that just played through were smoking the reefer. OKW DEFINITELY has the chillest vibe.

Did they pull up to your patio and ask you for some munchies?

lol the one foursome we saw a couple weeks ago weren’t chill at all … the expletives were flying in frustration … they needed to call for the beer cart or go see Roberto at Gurgling Suitcase! OKW is definitely different than any other Disney property we have ever stayed at without a doubt

Riviera is underrated for its chillness. Very nice ratio of amenities to guests.

OKW, you can almost get in a whole trip without talking one word to anyone else staying at the resort. We even stayed in a two bedroom (1395 sq ft) with another couple and barely saw them.

Yeah I don’t think we SAW anyone going into or out of our building all week although we did often HEAR a young man named Cooper screaming just about every day … different feel there though for sure

Does OKW have a golf course on site?

Our kids are too young to play much and while I enjoy it as a challenge, for me, golfing is less chill than darting around the park with stacked fastpasses … but it might be a good way to get my husband onboard with more points.

Golf course runs through the resort. There was a green right outside our balcony. Not sure which course or where the clubhouse is in relation to OKW

 

[beccasmom]

OKW for sure. We purchased our membership there before the resort was completely built out (and before it was even renamed OKW for that matter) and it has always had a very relaxing atmosphere.

Ironically, the golf course pro shop and starting point are at SSR. However, the course winds through OKW not SSR.
And if you're considering using the temptation of golf as a way to get your DH onboard for more points, you wouldn't be the first. I used it to tempt DH to join DVC (and he keeps reminding me that Eagle Pines and Osprey Ridge are no longer there). But even after 20+ years, he still thinks that only DVC members can use the resort at HHI.

You are an inspiration.
