Old Key West Owners Thread

👋

So do people still need to talk about the photos, do you think?

OKWester here! Soaking up the sun at Southpoint a few times a year.

Will be arriving for a 4 night stay in June. There will be 3 of us, which includes a child. Any activities or things we should be on the lookout for? What about areas to request? We will be staying in a studio. OKW first timers.

If you're willing to roll the dice on traveling with it, the Mickey tie dye activity is a neat souvenir for kids. I always end up with an abundance of plastic bags so I triple wrapped a pillow case and a onesie for the niblings. Made it home fine.

I'm here. My family currently owns 2 resale contracts at OKW. One of our favorite resorts to stay at.

Here! We own 1 contract since 2007. Still one of our favorite resorts...if only they would improve the food court.

Currently trying to convince my spouse to buy another 100 to 150 point contract!

Here! Owner since 2007. I love OKW overall. My only big issue with this resort is paper thin walls for some of the buildings. The ones near community house seems well insulated. But some other ones are not. We stayed at the end of Miller’s Road and we could hear our neighbours just talk... We were happy we had a 1 bedroom and just 2 and nobody was sleeping in the living room - that would have been disastrous for the person sleeping there.

I’m also not in love with the « destruction » of Papa’s Den as it looks more like a Marriott property now… but otherwise I love the feel and quirkiness of the resort. I hope they never get rid of the marine flags that means « welcome home » by the marina!

OKW owner here.. Two resale contracts currently working on our third. Love OKW and the Southern Florida vibe!

Lorna is an absolute treasure at the Gurgling Suitcase!

We LOVE the vibes at OKW!

Disney Springs is just a boat ride away!!

Might consider another contract here, especially if a 2057...

OKW will always be Home. We love trying out the new resorts but we always return Home to the OG!

I have been an Old Key West owner since 1998! Boy has the time flown!

Hi. One of my home resorts since 2000 - two contracts. 200 (2042) 60 (extended).

Just got back from an 8 night stay.

If you are planning on using the bus system then I think the Peninsular Road area (Buildings 27–29), is the best location. The bus stops are Peninsular -> South Point -> Turtle Pond -> Millers Road -> Hospitality. So getting on at Peninsular means the bus is empty, so finding a seat is no issue. Easy walk to HH, where most of the activities are. If I couldn't get Peninsular, then for me Turtle Pond; mainly because of the pool, and Snack Shack, (when it is open). But I don't have littles, so that makes a big difference.

Hello, We just got back from a trip to OKW with a 1.5 year old. We were in building 40 on Turtle Pond and was great with a toddler. It’s super close to the Turtle Shack Pool and the playground!

Joined DVC during the OKW sale a couple of years ago. We had never been but knew it would be one of our favorites and we were exactly right.

Here 🙋‍♂️

I'm here Jeff. We've been owners since 1993 (yup, 33 years). Can't believe it. We've had SO MANY wonderful memories in those 33 years. We're looking forward to many more.

We're also have ownership at Hilton Head.

OKW since 1995 (newly married)! It’s our family’s favorite place to be. The kids are grown, but they still want to hang with us at our home away from home. 😉

In the process of inheriting OKW points from mom and dad.

Love OKW, especially the Suitcase! Looking forward to the annual BBQ in a few weeks.

Here's our family (from the UK) when we joined the original Disney Vacation Club at our earliest opportunity in 1993 and trying to do a 'funny' shot at Disney Studios during our most recent visit in 2024.
We have 2 direct and 3 resale contracts

We bought our OKW contract during that sale also.

Brand new DVC owner at OKW. Already looking to add more points 🤪

Coming from Canada, the vibes of OKW are always exactly what we want. Even before we joined DVC, OKW was always a family favourite. ❤️
