Disney4me Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Disney World has so many great resort options, but we keep going back to one hotel for spacious rooms, yummy food, and a major coastal vibe that we can’t get enough of. But no, it’s not the Polynesian – it’s Old Key West! Disney’s Old Key West Resort Disney’s Old Key West Resort is a deluxe villa resort themed after Florida’s most iconic coastal town, Key West. You’ll find an abundance of Key Lime Pie-themed treats along the resort’s lake. But our plans to grab dessert soon just got complicated by not one, but three refurbishments across the resort! A popular transportation option at Old Key West will temporarily close soon. Refurbishment work will take place along the Sassagoula River Cruise boat route from Monday, July 20th through early August. During this time, boat service to Disney Springs will be temporarily unavailable, but you can still take the Disney buses to get there instead. There’s also a walking path, but we don’t recommend it, since it took us about 45 minutes and was brutal in the summer heat.

This is the central hub of the resort, which includes the lobby, concierge, Olivia’s Cafe, and more amenities. Guests may see or hear work during daytime hours and at times may be directed to take alternate paths of travel. Disney has confirmed that the refurb will last through mid-September 2026, but the Disney World app doesn’t reflect this update yet and still says it will last only through early June.

Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course, which surrounds Old Key West, is also undergoing refurbishment. Views from some rooms overlooking the golf course may be impacted until the work is complete in October 2026.
