The hype

Disney's Old Key West Resort
$380-650/ nat
Bestil hvis You want the largest rooms on Disney property and prefer a laid-back 'condo' vibe over a frantic theme park hotel.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Massive 1-bedroom villas (942 sq ft) that put other Disney rooms to shame
- Scenic boat transportation directly to Disney Springs
- Olivia's Cafe — a cult-favorite dining spot that locals actually visit
Hurtig oversigt: It’s a sprawling, pastel-colored retirement community that happens to be inside Disney World.
Anmeldt af @AlishaGreen1976913: I loved how spacious this studio felt compared to other Disney rooms. The kitchenette was perfect for our morning routine, and I spent every evening unwinding on that balcony. It really felt like a quiet escape from the park crowds.

Reality check
The 'Old' in the name is accurate; rooms are clean but can feel dated and musty compared to newer DVC properties.
- You have a large family and need a full kitchen and laundry
- You have a car and want to park directly in front of your door
- You plan to spend your evenings at Disney Springs rather than the parks
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
7.5
- Housekeeping: Consistent but basic. Daily service for cash guests, but don't expect deep scrubbing of corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but grout lines and caulking often show age and discoloration.
- Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling paint on railings and worn carpets are common complaints pending the 2026 refurb.
- Linens & towels: Standard Disney quality—clean and plentiful, but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Older buildings can have a lingering 'musty' humidity smell, especially on ground floors.

- Parking is free for resort guests and you can park right outside your building.
Hvad skal du pakke
- Ponchos for the boat ride (it's open-air and Florida rains are sudden)
- Comfortable walking shoes for the trek from your room to the lobby

Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Gurgling Suitcase' bar is tiny but mighty—you can order the full Olivia's Cafe menu there without a reservation.
- ✨
Building 55 is a secret gem: it feels like a private island, has water views, and is closest to the Disney Springs walkway.
- ✨
If the main bus stop at Hospitality House is crowded, walk to the Peninsular Road stop—it’s the first pick-up point so you're guaranteed a seat.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The studios have TWO real queen beds, not a bed and a sleeper sofa (rare for DVC).
💡The sauna is hidden inside the lighthouse at the main pool—most guests miss it completely.
💡You can rent a 'Conch Flat' pontoon boat right at the marina to tour the waterways yourself.
💡The vegetation is so mature that ground floor patios can feel dark and buggy.
💡Bus drivers often skip the internal 'Hospitality House' stop on the way OUT to parks if the bus is full.
