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...

By get the best resort at Disney. Huge units, full kitchens, 24 hour pool, excellent bar and a great workout facility... What else can you ask for?

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

Hit up one of the two arcades, "The Electric Eel" on Turtle Krawl(main pool area) and "The Flying Fish" at Turtle Shack(Turtle Pond pool).

This is a favorite resort for many Disney fans and is one of the more affordable locations. Book it early.

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!

Amazing place. A ton of stuff to do! Great rooms...Very clean and spacious!

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.
Orlando FerreiraSeptember 4, 2014
Great place, very nice pools and Gym, ask for a room with views to the Golf course
Shannon M.February 28, 2014
There is a toddler pool behind the main pool my daughter loved. Also beware: there are no internal transfer buses at OKW!!
Linda CurcioFebruary 18, 2016
It feels like home! Love everything about Old Key West.

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.

Make sure to double check the list in the cupboard to ensure you have everything they provide.

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.

Olivia's blueberry pancakes are fantastic.. with both fresh berries and the syrup. The b'fast potatoes are also delicious!

Relax after running around the theme parks. Easy access and transportation to and from all.

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.
Aundrea SmithDecember 28, 2015
One of the older Disney resorts, but beautifully maintained.

Debbie at reception looks after all postage so if you get something shipped here she's always on top game!

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.

The rooms are big can easily sleep six and nine if you use the pullouts.

Make sure Arlene makes you a Rum Runner OMG she makes the best.
Danielle HallettNovember 3, 2013
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.
Sean RobisonNovember 27, 2019
Great resort. Huge rooms.

You can rent DVDs for free if you are a DVC member

Ask for building 62 if you want to be near Hospitaly House.

We always bring the airport express when we travel to Disney. Learned years ago it solves the wifi problem.

OKW has other pools that are that are a little more secluded if you're looking to just relax
