Disney's Old Key West Resort Reviews & Ratings

Cozy feel, yet spacious and clean. Great sunset views and conveniently located.

Excellent Family Resort. Plenty of activities for the whole family. Beautiful property.

we love this spacious property. The kids have so much fun and we have plenty of room to roam without ever leaving the tropical paradise. The benefit of the Disney transportation is priceless hop on the boat and you are at Disney Springs for more entertainment and fun. A very well appointed room and with a washer and dryer we can travel light and cut costs on our airfare.

We love the room sizes at OKW as well as its proximity to everything. The boat ride over to Disney Springs is a big convenience. The kids love the pool and the water slide.

Old Key West is our favorite Disney Resorts! The villas are large with full size appliances in the kitchen as well as a full washer and dryer. The location is excellent! Just a quick boat ride to Disney Springs where there is great shopping, entertainment, and dining. BBQ grills are close to each unit, there is a great restaurant on-site, and several pools with entertainment for the kids at the main pool. Bus service to the parks is always prompt and the villas have large balconies with a table for four. The resort was recently renovated as well!

We are happy to call Disney's Old Key West Resort our home base and we have been Owner's for several years and are looking to buy more points. We love it that much!!!!!

We have traded and stayed at several of the Disney Properties (Saratoga Springs, Animal Kingdom, Wilderness Lodge) to name a few and we will be going to the Bay Lake Towers and Disney Vero Beach in June. All of the properties that we have stayed at are so clean, the rooms are spacious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. But, I just love coming home to Old Key West.. Olivia's Restaurant is great "down home good comfort food".

We have learned that anything Disney put's their name on is First Rate, from their Parks, to their Properties, to their Cruises, etc. The Disney Vacation Club Membership is Fantastic - you will not be disappointed!!!

Rooms are VERY spacious, largest on Disney property. We felt very comfortable with 4 people in the one bedroom unit.

I like the ease of using the Disney transportation.

We enjoyed the on-site restaurant Olivias.

I would absolutely stay here again.

Just visited the Old Key Disney Resort. The resort has one of the most home felt atmosphere I have ever been to. The resort was very well kept and all aminities were first class. The resort has a very southern feel and look to it. I stayed in a 1brm that was quite large, clean and just all around great.We had a sofa sleeper for the grandchildren which are 3 and 7 and they said it was quite comfy. Never ate at O' livias but it seem to be very busy. We traded thru RCI with this week i felt i got my moneys worth with the trade. We used the pool everyday since it was 90 plus daily and went to downtown disney a few times on the boat. We walked aroud the resort at sunset because it was very hot in the day. All of the parks were a hop skip and jump the buses came about every 30 min i think there were so many coming and going.The staff at the resort were extremely friendly and curtious even the house keeping were nice and friendly so i give this resort two thumbs up. Made my vacation a great one. Thanks Old Key West!

Fabulous resort! Wonderul theming and lovely golf course location. Everything is clean and beautiful. 5 pools, health club, and restaurant. AND THE ROOMS ARE ENORMOUS WITH WONDERFUL APPOINTMENTS AND AMMENITIES.

The buses run day and night to all venues and are fantastic. We can't wait to go back. You can't beat Disney when it comes to good resorts with great Disney staffs.

OKW is a great timeshare in Disney proper. It is the oldest one on site but one of my favorites as a DVC member. I stay here quite often because of course your points go further staying in this older resort but also because it really is a charming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The grounds are spectacular and the lakes winding thru the place are so beautiful. It seems everywhere you turn there is "natural" beauty or is it Disney magic, anyway it is lovely. The rooms are older and a bit dated with peach walls and baths but kept in good working order. The studios are one of the few places in the Disney timeshares where you actually have 2 double beds instead of a queen bed and sofabed. The rooms actually look more like a hotel room with an efficiency kitchen of microwave and fridge. Still that said are you really going to cook full meals in Disney when they have such nice restaurants as Olivias' onsite? The only thing I make in my room is coffee and oatmeal in the mornings and popcorn at night so the microwave is just right. Don't hesitate to stay here if you want value for your dollar in Disney proper.

We stayed in May with our grandchildren, had an excellent stay. We had roundtrip complimentary bus from airport which saved us some big bucks since we were 6. Also to the parks. We rested did not need to rent a car at all. Staff was great when we had special request. The boat ride to Down town Disney made it also fun to the children. Pool, rooms and food also very good. Stick to the meal plan if you have children will also save you some money.

We loved the resort's style and the accomodations were very nice (2bdm villa). Staff is excellent (no surprise here). Transportation was a bit confusing at first, but with some helpful conversation with the concierge it was clear that we needed to plan in advance to enjoy each day at the parks. Before and after the parks, we really enjoyed relaxing in the OKW resort atmosphere.

Have stayed at many Disney "on property" locations but Old Key West is the best if you're looking for a peaceful break from the parks. These aren't rooms, they're apartment villas! Large bedrooms, living/ dining room, kitchen, patio on LBV golf course, utility room, double bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs & separate shower.....everything maintained to Disney standards...you've been in the parks...you know what I mean!

Old Key West can be fully booked and it still never feels crowded. Tons of space to stroll around, 5 pools, great restaurant, bar, and of course Disney activities. If you have a car, you park right by your unit. We've never found anything better!

The Coopers

This is a quiet, secluded resort and so wonderful! The 2 BR unit was very large and roomy. The spacious balcony gave way to a wonderful, quiet view of the interior grounds. We visited early Dec and the holiday decor took your breathe away. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is for you. If you want action and location to the parks, try another Disney resort. We did find it was best to drive to the parks, verses taking the buses.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxed on Disney property? - Yes - OKW is all of this and more - very large rooms - full kitchens - room to stretch and live. full size patio/baloncy.

Beautifully appointed, residential-style two-bedroom villa comes equipped with a full-size kitchen, 1 king-size bed and whirlpool tub in the master suite, 2 queen beds and private bath in second bedroom & queen sleeper sofa in the living area. TV with DVD player, washer/dryer and a private porch or balcony. Views vary and each may afford views of either woodlands, waterways or fairways. Enjoy restaurants, a lounge, store and arcade. Or unwind in one of the four heated pools, the largest offering a water slide, children’s pool and spa. Play some volleyball, basketball, enjoy walking trails, a round of golf, boating or rent a bicycle. Enjoy all the activities including fitness room, arts & crafts and a video game room. Take advantage of the shuttle to the parks or enjoy a leisurely boat ride to all the excitement of Disney Springs dining & shopping!

Beautiful resort and oh so spacious. I exchanged to go here so before I even got to Disney they charged me a $95 resort fee because I was not a vacation club member. But since it is a resort on the Disney property, I was able to use the Disney bus to and from the airport and the Disney meal plan. If you decide to stay at ANY resort on Disney I recommend the meal plan.

I am a very seasoned traveler so I'll tell you what I didn't like. Again, because I was not a Disney vacation club member, I was not allowed to pool hop. I thought that since I was staying at a pretty exclusive Disney resort I could go visit other resorts and see how they are. Wrong. Also, the bus service was terrible the first 2 days. On my first day there I waited 50 minutes to catch a bus from Disney Market Place to go back to the resort. Then I waited 40 minutes the next day at Epcot to go back to the resort. After that, I never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a bus. But overall I found that transportation is not as convienent as they say it is. I recommend a car. You may have better results at Saratoga Springs, Boardwalk, or Wilderness Lodge.

I was told that only 3 of the many 3 story buildings in the resort have elevator access. This may pose a problem for people with disabilities, or like me with a large stroller.

On the plus side, they had a great pool with a slide. Pool side drinks were available. They had a restaurant on the premesis - which was pretty good (I had breakfast there twice) and a miniature grocery market place (for eggs, milk, etc). My room had a big hot tub and a great big shower and 2 sinks. Nice. Very Nice.

Wonderful, immaculate, friendly resort with every amenity you could possibly want. We had a 1bdr villa, top flor, and it was very large and beautifully decorated. The buildings are painted in various Florida shades of blue, green, aqua, green, and others. Can't wait to go back. I miss it!

Rooms are old. A/C is either freezing cold or hot/humid within a few degrees. Laundry room is ancient… on the plus side it’s “free”, on the other hand you get what you pay for. Units are 30+ years old, and you still need 4 quarters to get either a laundry sample or Bounce sheet (aka it’s not cashless). Now it’s raining and everyone is leaving Disney World, and there is LITERALLY one bus. We’ve been waiting for 45 minutes- meanwhile every other resort has had 2-3 busses in the meantime. Housekeeping is a joke- fresh towels and trash cans emptied every other day. Here 5 days so far and they have yet to change the sheets or even make the beds. Screw this- will stay at IHilton next time for half the price, same convenience (location wise) and will Uber/Lyft at our leisure. Do not recommend.
