Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Rosemary!
Disney's Old Key West Resort is such a beautiful resort, evoking the charm of the Florida Keys right in the heart of Walt Disney World. There you can find three fantastic swimming pool options, each with a whirlpool spa. While Disney's Old Key West Resort does not currently offer cabanas to rent by the pool, there are lovely tables with umbrellas that can be utilized on a first-come, first-served basis and plenty of palm trees surrounding to provide some much needed shade. There are some great options for a quick bite to eat, including
Good's Food to Go, a great poolside option near the main pool, the
Turtle Shack Poolside Snacks, and the
Gurgling Suitcase which allows you to take your food to a shady picnic table poolside.
If your heart is set on a poolside cabana rental you can find those at two Disney Vacation Club Resorts:
Disney's Beach Club Resort and
Disney's Yacht Club Resort. If you already have your vacation booked at Disney's Old Key West Resort but would still like a cabana rental, consider spending a day at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park zooming down waterslides, enjoying the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, or just lounge at a Beachcomber Shack or under the Getaway Glen umbrellas; both available for
advance reservations on a first-come, first-served basis. Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park also guarantees a day full of sun soaked fun and offers
Polar Patios and
Lodge Umbrellas, though you will want to
check to ensure the park has reopened as it is currently under refurbishment.
No matter where you find your fun in the sun, I hope you have a magical vacation!
