Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder but I have to say that I love OKW and think it is one of Disney's most attractive resorts. Guess I am just partial to golf courses, lakes, palm trees and lush foliage...No, it is not a gimmicky Micky and Minnie everywhere kind of place, but it has always been a comfortable and relaxing place for us to stay. Prefer it over BW, CBR, and POR where we have stayed before. Villas are spacious and well-equipped and we have always had an easy time getting around with the bus system. If it is just you and a 5 year old, though, one of the more compact hotel-type resorts might be easier , less pricey, and geared more towards little ones.
