    A hearty "welcome home" is an appropriate greeting as you enter Disney's Old Key West Resort. This "home away from home" resort is designed for relaxation with its quiet peaceful atmosphere

    All kitchen appliances work great, being able to make dinners saved a lot of $$. Ask, when booking, how to order &have groceries delivered the day you arrive! Very convenient. Nothing bad to say!

    Disney's first Vacation Club Resort, and still a great place to stay on property. Good location and Olivia's food is yummy casual eating.

    Gorgeous and large rooms on a golf course. Direct boat access to Downtown Disney. Pool activities and more. It feels like a little town in the middle of Disney.

    The best part about Walt Disney World is the bus system. You can get everywhere from Old Key West ... so why stay in a small villa close to the parks when Old Key West rooms are huge and there is free

    My favorite hotel of all the Disney resorts. My family has been members for 20 years and we visit several times a year. It's very homey and super friendly

    Olivia's cafe is delightful, the food unique and high quality. Sea scallops over creamy polenta was a dish to repeat! Definite new favorite...

    Great resort if you stay near the hospitality house and are returning from the parks get off at peninsular road and walk otherwise you will be on the bus an extra 20 mins.

    Friendly bartenders at gurgling suitcase. 1 bedroom has Full kitchen and living room. Great place to spend dvc points as it's not very expensive to stay here in comparison to the other resorts

    Good place to run if you can find the Conch Flats Trail. Start at Villa 55. Follow the trail to Tee #1, then go left across the bridge. Run laps around the lake at Saratoga Springs.

    When you book your room, ask for Building 23. Very close to the first stop on the Disney Transportation stops at OKW!

    If taking a bus to the parks first thing in the morning, walk to the Peninsular Rd stop instead of the Hospitality House stop - you'll get on 1st and be able to sit. Buses are often full at last stop.

    You can "rent" games and movies and take them back to your room if you are a DVC member, perfect for a stormy night/day when your stuck in the room.

    The best thing about this resort are the massive rooms and private pools. Stay here if you want to hang around the resort. Transportation is inconvenient and the magic really seems to be lacking.

    Really nice resort but for that kind of money the wifi should work way better than it does. Slow speeds and drops connection all over the resort.

    OKW has the largest villas among the DVC resorts. Extra storage space in the master bedroom and in the main living room. Larger patios than normal.

    If stairs are a problem for you, be sure to ask for a ground-floor unit -- there are no elevators in the 3-story buildings.

    Avoid the rooms in block 20, the busses all turn around outside your window and it's very noisy; also it's a long walk from the restaurant and there is very little parking if you drive.
