Disney's Old Key West Resort



The whimsical beauty Old Key West Resort is amazing. Full of pastel colors and gingerbread accents, the theme makes you feel as though you are nestled right in the Florida Keys!


We decided to stay in a two bedroom villa when we took our best friends on their first Disney vacation. There were four of us adults, as well as four children ages 4, 3, 2 and 1. Needless to say we were hoping for a smooth stay with all the kids. 

As we arrived for check in, all four kids were greeted and were able to pick out their own balloon swords to keep. We had just finished doing a little grocery shopping down the street at a local grocery store, and they were able to keep all of our groceries in their refrigerator until our room was ready. We headed toward the bus stop and straight for Magic Kingdom! We received a text a couple of hours later letting us know our room was ready.
That night when we returned we walked down to the Hospitality House area, where most of the main activity centers are. Here is where Olivia’s Café table service and Goods to Go quick service restaurants are located. They are situated facing the water where the ferry dock is located, which can take you to Downtown Disney. 


The two bedroom villa gave us plenty of room for all of our kids. We were able to get up and fix breakfast for everyone in the full kitchen every morning before heading into the parks.
