Disney's Old Key West Resort

Spent 4 nights at Old Key West from 8/15-8/19 2025. As a Disney veteran and my 1st time here, I would say I was very pleasantly surprised. I had read about the negatives including the size of the resort and the transportation issues but I really had no issues. We stayed in a 2 bedroom in the 45-46 building area which on the map looks very far from the lobby and pool but it only took 7-10 minutes to walk and was easy to access. The buses definitely were a slower way to go. 1 night I took the bus to Disney Springs as the weather kept the boats from running. The trip was long since mine was one of the 1st stops on the loop but even then it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed taking the boat back to the hotel. It was convenient and a change of pace. The room was large, clean and had all the amenities. Despite being an older resort, we saw no signs of aging. Everything appeared fresh and clean from the furniture to the drapes to the appliances. My favorite part of the resort had to be the peace and quiet. When we returned to our room, there was no screaming, crying, running or bustle. It almost felt like we were in a vacation rental off property. There is definitely less Disney theming here but enough to still let you know where you are. Last thing, we did have a car rental which made it easier to get around for things like getting to the parks and groceries. Regardless, I would highly recommend this resort.

Our suite was very dated. The couch was frayed and dirty. I would not stay at this resort again especially for the price! The positive aspects were the busses to the parks run frequently and the staff was friendly. The restaurant for breakfast (Olivia’s) was yummy.

Two thumbs up! The two bedroom villa was spacious and quiet. Olivia’s cafe is excellent and the pool is great. One thing to know is that these are three floor buildings with no elevator. As always at Disney the staff is friendly and helpful. Thanks for more great memories.
