On December 20, 1991, Disney opened its first Disney Vacation Club Resort with the name of “Disney Vacation Club Resort”. It wasn’t until 1996 when Disney renamed the Resort “Disney’s Old Key West”. Now, 30 years later, the Resort is open to Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Resorts Guests using points to stay, or any Guest interested in purchasing a Resort room.

As a personal favorite, we call Disney’s Old Key West a Home Resort for our DVC Membership and have enjoyed numerous stays at this flip-flop and drink-in-hand type of Resort. Just minutes to Disney Springs with a boat or bus ride, Disney’s Old Key West is right in all the action but offers a true getaway vacation feel.

I'm a Disney nerd! A kid at heart who loves the magic and memories of Walt Disney World. I follow all things Disney and enjoy the vacations, day trips, weekend getaways, and geek out over the planning of such events. My goal is to experience as many Disney desserts and cocktails as possible! Married to another Disney nerd and blessed with a daughter and son, we thoroughly enjoy the magic at Disney and are here to help others experience the magic as well.
