old key west

I’ve never stayed at Old Key West, but I showed my husbands mom the resorts and we decided to stay there for a family vacation. This is only our second DVC trip, so I don’t know much about the resort. I booked a two bedroom lock-off near hospitality house. We won’t have a car, so near HH was a...

Hello all, My family and I are planning a trip this September and staying at the Old Key West resort. I was wondering if anyone knew which building(s) have the 3 bedroom grand villas that are close to the hospitality center. We don't have a room number assigned to us yet and I am not sure how...

So - Why would the entire Summer and early Fall suddenly become completely open for Studios and some 1 or 2-Bedrooms at Old Key West? I smell something fishy going on...

Hello all, I'll keep this brief. This is for Sept 2022, through an agent, 3 adults, 13yo, and 1 yo who will turn 2 during trip: 1. Is there any advantage to booking a package at rack rate before discounts are announced? (If I understand correctly, the agent will have to essentially rebook our...

Hi! A DVC member “gifted” us a room. So on top of being new to what that means for us (I’ve never done anything with DVC) I am just reading that some of the rooms are difficult to get into with a scooter due to no elevators! I had no idea! Is it really difficult to to get a first floor room...

Okay, so a few weeks ago I asked where my husband and I should stay when taking his extended family on vacation. I took everyone’s comments into consideration, and I made a power point to help everyone in the family decide. We landed on a two bedroom Old Key West- less points=more days, room...

Hello! I had a few questions about how points would work when mixing direct and resale! Me and my wife are wanting to finally join the club and purchase 125 points direct for OKW or AK so we can have the benefits that come with direct. We plan on only using these points for DVC hotels. We also...

I have 175 Old Key West (OKW) points that I can transfer to a DVC member’s account ($16 per point plus the PayPal transfer fee). These points are from my Dec 2020 use year and must be used by Nov 31, 2021 or banked by July 31, 2021, which would extend the use period to Nov 31, 2022. As a DVC...

As an international "newbie" to DVC I bought 200 points direct from Disney in March 2020 at Riviera Resort. We love Old Key West and are thinking of buying a second resale contract at OKW but noticed they all expire 2042. I get that the contract expires so we would only get 22 years but what...

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this in the right place, but I’m looking for some happy thoughts. We’ve had to cancel our April spring break trip due to park closure and our July trip due to quarantine (we’re from Jersey). Right now we’re booked for the week after Christmas at OKW (we’re DVC...

Hello all! This December, my family will be renting a studio villa at OKW for 9 days/8 nights (renting points). This is our first time at a Deluxe resort and our first time at OKW. I've watched a view videos and read a bit about the resort. As far as room requests go, what's the best bet? We'll...

I have 140 Old Key West (OKW) points that I can transfer to a DVC member’s account ($15 per point plus the PayPal transfer fee). These points are from my Dec 2019 use year and must be used by Nov 30, 2020 or banked by July 31, 2020, which would extend the use period to Nov 30, 2021. As a DVC...

Greetings all - in a few weeks my family is flying to WDW for 4 days, staying at OKW in a studio. My 14 month old son has lactose sensitivity. He can eat cheese, etc. but needs to drink Lactaid for his milk, 16-20 oz daily. I want to avoid using Prime for what would likely only be that purchase...

So this is a trivial question, but I was curious how many years ago did DVC create the separate 'Hospitality House' booking category for OKW as we know it today? And why didn't they change point structure like they did at SSR when they created the preferred room category? Sorry new to OKW...

Heading to WDW week of Halloween just to do waterparks/hotel pool/MNSSHP. So location doesn’t really matter. With a 2.5 year old which would you choose: Animal kingdom villas - toddler loves animals and pools are awesome. Plenty to do on non-park days. At AKV and OKW would appreciate the...

We are a family of 6 with a 16, 12, 7, and 2 year old. Trying to decide on where to stay for our next trip. Right now I am pondering between Wilderness Cabins and a 1 bedroom at OKW as they seem to be the most cost efficient for us and include a kitchen. We have never been to either of these...
