Walking Distance at Resorts
Hey all!
I need a little help. We just had a great trip a few weeks ago and I'm ready to start planning my next in October of 08 April has been scratched and I have no control over my work trip so I'm planning October (its our 5th wedding Anniversary anyhow!)
So I found myself having more and more trouble walking around this time. I was especially bad after long days in the park I knew this was gonna happen knee and heart problems do that but when I'm planning my next trip I wanna be more prepared we are gonna stay at a value or maybe think of trying a moderate but which resort is my question. I want something that isn't gonna leave me panting by time I get into the room. All the moderates look so large but I would love the extra room and guaranteed refrigerator ( last trip I called them and told them I had meds that would need to be kept cold, reminded them at check in and it still took 2 and a half hours for a refrigerator to get there thank goodness for ice buckets!)
Any suggestions?
Don't count on getting your preference

I also wanted to mention, it helps to have it noted on your reservation a request for a room close to whatever you want (bus stop, main building, etc.). Mention your condition/reason for request.
We are DVC members, and we usually stay at OKW. My father, who has heart problems, frequently travels with us. We always request a room close to the Hospitality House, as the internal shuttle bus (or the park buses) takes forever to make its rounds.
It ALWAYS ends up being a hassle at check-in time. We specifically put in our reservation that it is a medical condition, and we even call OKW the night before to verify that they have a record of the request. We STILL have problems every time we check in...maybe it is just a problem with the OKW desk staff...
