Disney Old Key West Resort
Journey to a place of casual delight in the connected islands of South Florida and stay at the Disney Old Key West Resort in Orlando. Situated on the banks of the Trumbo Canal, the Old Key West Resort gives you the unique ability to hop on the water taxi and spend the day or evening at Disney Springs. Palm trees swaying back and forth along the waterways encompasses the feel of the Florida Keys. Dine along the walkway and take in the view of boats leaving the harbor. Truly a magical experience.
Rooms
The rooms at the Disney Old Key West Resort are a little larger than most of the other Disney Resorts, making things a little more comfortable as there is more room to spread out and enjoy. Deluxe Studio’s sleep up to 4 with 2 Queen Beds and a full bath off of the main room. Spread out a little more with a 1 Bedroom Villa which sleeps up to 5, or a 2 Bedroom Villa that sleeps up to 9. If you really need a lot of space there is even a 3 Bedroom Villa with Space for 12. The Deluxe Studio comes with a Kitchenette but the Villa’s come with a full kitchen and all of the amenities you need to cook and eat at your room during your stay.
Transportation
While there is boat transportation at the Old Key West Resort in Disney World, it will only take you as far as Disney Springs. All of the Disney Theme Park transportation is available as a complementary option on the Disney Buses at the main entrance of the Old Key West Resort. This makes it nice to not have to worry about traffic and just relax and enjoy your time while you are away.

Disney Old Key West Resort Reviews
Pros:
Guests who stay at the Disney Old Key West Resort mostly enjoy the laid back feel of this Deluxe Disney Vacation Club Resort. The Villas are spacious and very clean. Staff at the front desk and at all locations around the Old Key West Resort are very kind and helpful. Our kids loved the main pool with the water slide and it was wonderful being at the edge of the water watching the boats go by. Taking a boat to Disney Springs was so much fun. Bringing our own food when staying in the 1-Bedroom Villa with a full kitchen made it feel like being at home. Great visit.
Cons:
There are a few reviews pointing out some of the less desirable issues found at the Old Key West Resort but most guests love the resort. Getting to the parks using the buses (which is the only transportation option for getting to the parks at Disney Key West Resort), is not as efficient as some of the other resorts and there are multiple bus stops making it hard to get to Magic Hours early in the morning. A few guests complained that there was no housekeeping but this is actually a planned process. OKW Resort is a Disney Vacation Club property and does not have cleaning through the week like a normal resort.
