Hiya Tim,
Welcome back to planDisney! We are so excited to continue to be part of helping you plan magical vacations to the Most Magical Place on Earth! There is so much change happening at Walt Disney World Resort that I swear each new day brings a new announcement. It can sometimes be hard to keep track of, but I’m happy to help however I can.
Currently,
Disney’s Old Key West Resort is in the process of refurbishment, but that is only to the exterior, including the Hospitality House and
Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. While I’ve also seen the rumblings that the resort rooms themselves are slated for a mini-refurbishment this year, the Cast Member that I spoke to couldn’t confirm when or if that would be occurring before the end of this year. They recommended that you check back on the webpage in the next month to see if the refurbishment notification has been updated. Once a refurbishment and rough timeline have been confirmed, it is reflected on the resort hotel page.
I hope this was helpful, Tm. I wish I had more news to share, but I will keep an eye out. As Walt Disney World continues to evolve, don’t forget to keep an eye out on
Disney Parks Blog. There are so many incredible things on the horizon, and I cannot wait to learn more about them. Speaking of which, the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is kicking off in about a month, and we should be hearing about what is in store at the
Global Marketplaces any day now. As you prepare for your trip in September, if there is anything else you need, please come back and see us. We would be happy to help however we can.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
