We ordered honey chicken and it was dry and flavorless. We also had the cold chicken sandwich and same results. We did enjoy the seating area - nice viewing of the monkeys and people watching!
Pros:

We thought the room was comfortable (for two teens and mom and dad) - very clean. The food court was impressive as far as serving sizes and quality of food - the wait could be a little long for your food. We had some issues with the buses - but it was around Christmas time!
Pros:
small resort, easy to get to everythingCons:

We ordered all the food for us to eat breakfast in our room every morning. We also ordered a few snacks. The food was waiting at our hotel and it was all great! Saved us a lot of money on eating breakfast!

The food was good. That being said, it wasn't great. Furthermore, I detected very little by way of exotic flavors. It was basically a nice Disney buffet. My opinion, Jiko is no more expensive and much better food.

OK to good foodCons:

I come here on every trip. This is the first time I've felt slightly let down, but that's only in comparison to what I've experienced in the past. This food was very good, but I've had several great meals in the past here.
Pros:
Very good food, wonderful viewCons:

Being a DVC member since 2004, this was our first time staying at OKW and the first time going this time of year, November 9-13. Warm days, some cool nights but no humidity!! I loved it all. It was just my husband and I in a 1 bedroom. I could not believe how spacious the living/kitchen area was (nice having 2 couches to lounge out on after a long day). the outdoor area had a full size round table with 4 chairs - very nice for early morning coffee overlooking water & golf course.
There was an entry hall, as well as a hall to the bedroom/bathroom & full size washer/dryer room.
Close walk to the bus stop too - which ran frequently.
The only negative was as per my husband, who liked to walk early in the morning down to a lobby to grab a cup of coffee. From our location you would have to take the inside bus to the Hospitality Center and that was the negative. Not a deal breaker for me. We are going back in April for a week!!

We are DVC and have stayed here many times. The location is great. They have improved the bus service and buses are dedicated to the Boardwalk. Quite a difference from the days when the buses traveled to Swan, Dolphin, Yacht and Beach Clubs as well as Boardwalk. With dedicated bus service and the water craft, getting around is very easy. The only down side to me is the new decor in the rooms. It is generic HGTV modern. Almost all of the Disney touches are gone. I did find hidden Mickeys in the curtains and the Mickey head is still on the chest of drawers. One bedroom villa is still a great room but it is not well done as previously. Staff were friendly.

Our first experience at The Wave was dinner on Jan 17, 2017. I can’t say enough about the food and the service. The crab and shrimp cake appetizer was delicious. Our fillets were done perfectly and the roasted veggies were wonderful. They staff were so friendly and surprised us with a plate of a chocolate Minnie and chocolate covered strawberries, truffle hearts, balloons and wine glasses with champagne for our 50th anniversary. We will make this a must do each time we visit Disney World.

I have eaten here before and had excellent meals. But this time was not good. We started with the calamari which was excellent. My husband had tuna and it was very good. I ordered risotto with an add on of scallops. The portion of the risotto was about right for an appetizer, not an entree. The 3 medium sized scallops for $9 were served on a saucer. (I did a double take on the saucer but that is what it was.) Server described the risotto as smoked carrot. There was no smoke. There were a couple of carrot slices on the top that were pickled. We would eat here again but will never order either their risotto or their scallops.

Had an excellent dinner here. Food was very good and everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed their meals. Our server Ellen was excellent.
