Opening in December 1991, Disney’s Old Key West Resort was the original Disney Vacation Club property—setting the tone for everything that came after. Designed to evoke the breezy charm of the Florida Keys, the resort features pastel-colored buildings, white picket railings, and swaying palm trees lining quiet pathways and waterways. Its sprawling layout and relaxed atmosphere make it one of the most peaceful spots on Walt Disney World property.
What truly sets Old Key West apart is the size of its villas. Offering some of the largest accommodations in the DVC lineup, the resort features deluxe studios and expansive one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas—perfect for families or groups who need room to spread out. Interiors are bright and airy, with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and beachy décor. Each unit includes a kitchen or kitchenette, in-room laundry in larger villas, and private balconies or patios—many with views of the golf course or water.
Guests enjoy access to multiple pools, including the iconic Sandcastle Pool with its waterslide and lighthouse-themed sauna, as well as tennis courts, bike rentals, and boat transportation to Disney Springs. Olivia’s Café, a Member favorite, serves up hearty comfort food with a Key West twist, while quick bites and drinks are available poolside at Gurgling Suitcase and Good’s Food to Go.
With its generous floor plans, easygoing vibe, and prime location near Disney Springs, Old Key West continues to be a beloved choice for Disney Vacation Club Members. Whether you’re relaxing on your screened porch or cruising down the canal, it’s a resort that invites you to slow down, breathe in the island air, and feel right at home.
