Luke BarnettHOST
So good.
Luke BarnettHOST
Oh, did you know they have, they have them in Old Key West?
Luke BarnettHOST
No, never had it before.
Luke BarnettHOST
It was the first time I'd ever had it.
Luke BarnettHOST
the biscuit pieces on top?
Luke BarnettHOST
Yeah, yeah, they do.
Luke BarnettHOST
I, I f- last time I went to Old Key West and had one, they didn't put the biscuit bits on top, and I was like, "Oh, what? I love that, the biscuits on top." Like, it...
Luke BarnettHOST
Yeah.
Tim ScottHOST
And then I had never been to the Caribbean Beach.
Tim ScottHOST
I was unaware that it's kind of set up like Old Key West where there's eight or nine different bus stops.
Tim ScottHOST
Oh, yeah.
Tim ScottHOST
Because we pulled in and it said pulling into Jamaica.
JackHOST
We'll see how much time I have before I leave for my trip to have time to edit.
JackHOST
But essentially, that will be the Old Key West run, which was a lot of fun.
JackHOST
I've ran there before.
JackHOST
It's lovely.
Mouselet 1HOST
That was the first DVC resort.
Mouselet 1HOST
It eventually ca- became Old Key West Resort.
Mouselet 1HOST
Uh, it opened in 1991, and so in the early days, Disney was kind of expanding DVC not just at Walt Disney World.
Mouselet 1HOST
So they started with Old Key West at Walt Disney World, but then they ended up making a resort at Vero Beach, Florida.
Mouselet 1HOST
They also made a resort at Hilton Head.
Mouselet 1HOST
So they didn't plan to only keep it where Disney Parks existed.
Mouselet 1HOST
Oh, okay
Mouselet 1HOST
...
Mike RahlmannHOST
I can't understand how special the Disney bubble is.
Mike RahlmannHOST
My family and I stayed at Old Key West, and the bus and boat system worked beautifully, getting us to and from the parks, Disney Springs, and other resorts.
Mike RahlmannHOST
As much as I love the theme parks, my favorite part of the whole trip was the dining."
Rikki NiblettHOST
Mm.
GregHOST
Another pro, It could be a more direct route to your room, especially if you're staying at like the neighborhood style resorts, like all of the value resorts, the moderate levels as well, unless you're staying in the Grandestino Tower.
GregHOST
But the rest of Coronado is spread out, Old Key West, Saratoga, Fort Wilderness.
GregHOST
You all know if you stayed in those types of resorts that you take a bus and you're either going around the resort or you get dropped off at the front at like a Pops, All Star, whatever.
GregHOST
or art or pop, depending on where you're going.
GregHOST
And you got to sometimes walk to the back of the resort, which, you know, if you have your car, you might have a more direct, especially if you're staying at Old Key West or Saratoga, as two examples, or Fort Wilderness, because you literally are like, Fort Wilderness, you're pulling into your campsite or your cabin, it's like your own personal driveway.
GregHOST
But Old Key West and Saratoga, you're right outside your building, like it's right there.
GregHOST
And then same thing with the moderates, for the most part, and values, like you get really close to your building.
GregHOST
So that's a good pro, in my opinion.
BeckyGUEST
Um, and I was like, "Well, we're gonna be in Florida, so we might as well go to Disney." So we did, and we m- did a whole week-long vacation at, um...
BeckyGUEST
We actually stayed at Old Key West.
Mike RahlmannHOST
Oh, I love Old Key West.
BeckyGUEST
And it was, it was so great.
BeckyGUEST
Um, the girls loved the Mickey slide, um, the pool.
Mike RahlmannHOST
Right.
BeckyGUEST
And like, you know, a smaller quarters.
BeckyGUEST
So we liked the idea of having like a one-bedroom, like that's what we did at Old Key West.
BenjiGUEST
My family's been...
BenjiGUEST
Um, so we have Old Key West, Saratoga, Boardwalk, Polynesian, Boulder Creek, Disneyland Hotel, Riviera.
SamHOST
[laughs]
BrianHOST
Nice.
SamHOST
...
SamHOST
if you could stay wherever you wanted.
BenjiGUEST
I, Old Key West, uh, to me, just feels so 1991.
BenjiGUEST
Like, uh, Old Key, 'cause, uh, when Old Key West started-
ChipHOST
And so that's why it's probably how three a and animal kingdom lodge is three.
MattHOST
And, you know, Chip, I think that goes back to, too, I feel like Old Key West is where you really started going when you started getting into DVC and wanting to stay at Disney with your kids.
MattHOST
Right.
MattHOST
So there's like a weird, you know, vibe of it being home when it's your first trip, when you're a new dad and stuff like that.
8 MINS LATER
ChipHOST
usually has the best discounts
MattHOST
and it ends up being the cheapest opportunity to get into that deluxe category.
MattHOST
Sometimes Saratoga Springs and Old Key West are in there, but it would be incredibly rare for there to be a significant price difference between Saratoga and Old Key West and Animal Kingdom Lodge where I wouldn't just pick Animal Kingdom Lodge.
MattHOST
Saratoga is a different category like we talked about before where it's unique to where we want the two bed villa.
JackHOST
I finally went for a run at Wilderness Lodge, and I'm taking you guys on the journey.
JackHOST
After this episode, I only have two more hotels to share with you guys, and that's Old Key West, uh, which I actually ran at on the same day, and then last but not least, the Art of Animation and Pop Century resort area.
JackHOST
Um, Animal Kingdom unfortunately does not have a specified running trail map.
JackHOST
If you look on Disney's website, it will show that it's not even an option, uh, for running So to speak there.
