Our family stayed at OKW from 8th April to 22nd April. We are a family of four and we stayed in a 1 bedroom villa. We have stayed at OKW twice before and have stayed in a studio both those times. We were all astounded by the size of the villa and the facilities it offered. We had more than enough space for us all. The decor was bright and clean and the mousekeepers kept it clean and tidy for us everyday. It was a pleasure to come home everyday to a beautiful, clean and tidy villa. The laundry room was great, I used it every other day and the tumble drier was a lifesaver when we got drenched on our last day in Magic Kingdom. The staff in OKW are extremely friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble if you have a question or require anything. The only negative I would say that we experienced on this trip was that we were woken up each morning around 5.30 with noisy grass cutters cutting the grass outside our balcony and shining the headlights from the vehicle into our bedroom. Wearing earplugs each night to block out the noise did not make much difference to the level of noise coming from these machines. Having said that, OKW will still be my first choice for future trips.

We sailed on the Disney Dream April 4, 2013 for a three day cruise. We stayed in an inside deluxe stateroom with the magical porthole. Our Cabin was in the forward section of the ship on deck 7, cabin #75XX. My wife, my 13yo daughter and myself stayed in the same cabin. We’ve been on other cruises, but this was our first Disney cruise. We are DVC member and used points for this cruise.
The bathroom was larger than other on board bathrooms I’ve been in, it had a tub!! The tub was not full-sized, but big enough to sit in and stretch your legs out. There was not much storage space in the bathroom so we all had to take our bathroom items with us when we entered and left the bathroom.
The bed was queen sized bed was very comfortable with very nice bedding. There is a large heavy curtain that can divide the cabin from the twin beds. My daughter liked the sofa sleeper and said it was very comfortable.
There is ample storage in the cabin. There are two large closets and the ottoman opens up for storage. The area under the bed is also available to store your luggage.
Our cabin was very, very quite. We never heard any ship noise, or noise from outside our cabin door.
I would not hesitate to book another 3 or 4 day cruise with an inside stateroom. Having said that, I’d prefer a room with a balcony for a longer cruise.

This is our third time eating here and by far the best. The wait time was a little longer than expected but once we were seated the food was excellent and served very quickly.

We ate on April 21st for my Birthday lunch and it was great. When we arrived we were told the wait time was 45 minutes. We ended up waiting about 20. The ordering process can be a little confusing but everything after that was great. I highly recommend the Tuna salad and the lemon cupcake.

I absolutely loved staying here. I had previously stayed at Jambo House (in a regular, non-DVC room) and while I think I would give it the edge, Kidani Village was wonderful. I especially like the ease and access of the underground parking and Sanaa is a wonderful place for meal or cocktail. Of course, the real attraction is the animals!
Pros:
great decor, animal viewing, good restaurant, underground parking, spacious rooms for DisneyCons:

We ate here the first day of our trip for lunch. They told us it would be a 20 minute wait time and it was right at that. The food was AMAZING! I had the BBQ ribs and mango pie. I highly recommend both. We had a little one with us that was hungry and tired. The waitress brought her a fortune cookie to entertain her. They were very attentive to our every need and the food was excellent. I would go back next time for sure!

We ate here for my Birthday on Sunday and it was amazing! It was calm and quiet and the food was excellent. I had the mussel appetizer, rack of lamb and the canoli. The mussel's were one of the best things I have ever eaten. If you are looking for great food in a calm atmosphere I highly recommend it.

We stayed here 4/17-4/22 and our stay was amazing! I was a little nervous when we checked in at 1 am. The girl working the front desk was not overly helpful and didn't seem too happy to be there, but then again it was 1 am.
The room was clean and really quiet. In fact, the room was so quiet that we kept our balcony door open so that we could sleep. We had a room on the 6th floor over looking the courtyard. It was so nice to sit on the balcony and over look the courtyard.
We were traveling with my 13 month niece and never once worried about her being too loud or allowing her to run in the lobby. She is not in any way unruly, but she is a 13 month old that had spent a lot of time in the stroller. She loved the lobby and being able to go out on the balcony. In the other deluxe resorts we would have been nervous to let her run around, but here we felt at home while keep that deluxe resort feel.
The last day of our trip we went to DTD and came back with a very sleepy child. The front desk offered us a key to a room so that we could let her take a nap before our flight home. That was going above and beyond! Would highly recommend the Wilderness Lodge!

If I were just reviewing going to the bar for a drink, I'd give this a 9. However, I also wanted a little something to eat and the menu just wasn't that great (at least in my opinion -- and I love Italian food). That said, I went with the meatball appetizer and it was good. Service at the bar was top notch so we'll certainly return.
