OVERVIEW: DISNEY’S OLD KEY WEST RESORT FOR FIRST TIME VISITORS

Disney’s Old Key West Resort is a wonderful place for returning visitors to Walt Disney World to stay.  However, for first-time visitors, it ranks near the bottom of the Disney Vacation Club resorts.

OVERVIEW: DISNEY WORLD MODERATE RESORTS

You can have a wonderful visit at any Walt Disney World resort. However, this site recommends that first time visitors to Walt Disney World avoid the moderate resorts, while noting that these resorts are wonderful for visits after the first. (See this for why.)

That said, the moderates do represent almost 30% of the room capacity of Walt Disney World, and will be sought by some you regardless of this site’s advice, or because this site’s recommended resorts are sold out.
