Old Key West vs Caribbean 2024

OKW has become our favorite place to stay. So relaxed and so much space. We always book preferred area then request the area closes to the main lobby. Busses were great!

One note if not already mentioned, most villas at OKW have no elevators (yes if you can believe it), so be prepared to schlep your luggage and strollers etc up to 2 flights of stairs. Not a fan of OKW at all, feels like off property and very spread out, with very limited food options and an internal bus system just to get around (like CBR in that way. That may however appeal to some folks situations

I just came back from my first stay at OKW in a 2 Bed near Hospitality. Wow - the size of it!

Cooking in the villa was great. Everything worked. Massive washing machine and dryer so most of my holiday clothes washing was done before I got home. Buses were great. We just went over to the Reception area stop in order to avoid lengthy tours around the villas. Disney Springs, Epcot and HS were only 10-15 mins away. MK 15-20 mins.

The only nick picking downers. Awful trouble getting room keys and iPhones to operate the door locks. I assume that mine was faulty (looked knackered!). Only one (physical key operated) safe in main bedroom, which is bizarre if multiple families staying in multiple bedrooms. Some items missing such as oven gloves, cushions and tissue box holder!

While there I did some reconnaissance on Boardwalk (rooms are far too small compare to OKW) and Riviera (too corporate and sterile to be of interest to me).

I can't over-emphasise the value of your own kitchen. The food at Disney is generally of low quality and outrageously priced. Olivia's at OKW was an exception. Being able to knock up a large lunch before heading out can save you $K's over the course of a stay.

The quick service at OKW is good, too.
