Disney's Old Key West Resort

“Scenic & Relaxing Old Key West”

I like the relaxed vibe of Old Key West resort. The studio room had 2 queen beds (many properties have now converted one bed to a murphy bed) but I prefer 2 "real" beds in the room.

I like the relaxed vibe of Old Key West resort. The studio room had 2 queen beds (many properties have now converted one bed to a murphy bed) but I prefer 2 "real" beds in the room. I like having a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, & coffee maker in the room because I can easily have a cheap breakfast in the room before heading to the parks. This is my go-to resort at Disney. This time I was in 2915, which is a 1st floor studio. This room did have some road noise from Peninsular Road because it lacks the buffer of the parking lot, but it was still in a nice area of the resort being fairly close to the bus stop & within walking distance to the Hospitality House. As a bonus, currently Disney is having extended evening hours for guests saying in Deluxe resorts (which includes Old Key West.) That was a big perk for free as we had lower crowds in those 2 extra evening hours on Monday (EPCOT) & Wednesday (Magic Kingdom.)

“Disney's Old Key West Resort”

What a fantastic resort. From the front desk staff to the housekeeping personal, they make you feel welcome and at home. The resort is clean, and the rooms are spacious and modern. It is truly a hidden gem on the Disney property.

“Old Key West is enormous!”

We stayed at Old Key West from the 19th of April until the 24rd.

We stayed at Old Key West from the 19th of April until the 24rd. We started in a studio and moved half way through to a one bedroom (DVC and there weren't any studios available so had to switch halfway through). Studio was spacious with two queen beds which my daughter appreciated over the pull out couch in a lot of other DVC resorts. We were in the turtle pond road area which has a quiet pool and is not extremely far from the front desk but definitely far enough Half way through our short trip we switched to a one bedroom which was nice. King size bed, daughter had a pull out couch now. Nice size kitchen/dining table/patio and bathroom. The whirlpool tub had a yellow ring around it which I tried wiping and it came off relatively easily so I know it's not stained and just needs some cleaning. Pool was fantastic. Sandcastle slide is adorable as well as the theming around the pool. Pool staff was great. Goods Food To Go was alright, not a whole lot of options and all seating is outside which for us was fine as it was April and not too hot/cold but in the summer I can imagine how that could be a problem. Gurgling Suitcase was good, made my Pina CoLava which was delicious like always. Bartender was super nice! Didn't eat at Olivia's as didn't have the time. Gift shop was good, very friendly and helpful staff and good selection of souvenirs. Size is a downfall. This resort is enormous with a huge internal loop that took about 15-20 min to get through before leaving the resort to go to the park. Saratoga is similar but I found OKW a little larger and took a bit longer to get through. Boat to the Springs is nice thou. All in all it was a good resort, we will stay here again as we are DVC. This was a short trip and we didnt' feel like we really got to enjoy the resort (we had one resort day and three full day park days and then we were home). We very likely will come back and enjoy a longer stay at some point
