Ahhh so happy to see this! We stayed at Old Key West when we came over Christmas 2019 for my Make A Wish trip. The resort was so beautiful, relaxing and immersive. The cast members went above and beyond for me and my family - most amazingly being that they gifted us 3 days of park hopper passes for my whole fam, and there are 6 of us. MAW only gives 3 days of park hopper passes and we were going to pay for 3 more, but the OKW cast members wouldn’t let us. They insisted that it be their gift to us. Beyond that, they welcomed us to our villa with a bag full of amazing, deluxe gifts and goodies, gave us a great dining plan deal, allowed us to get colored magic bands (typically with MAW you get the basic grey ones), and handled all my medical supplies wonderfully. We had several large boxes of my life sustaining medical supplies shipped to the resort a day before we arrived and they needed to be refrigerated. The cast members were on it and ensured that they were properly handled, refrigerated, and kept away from food or anything else that could have compromised them. The resort itself is incredible, but the cast members there... they were everything a perfect cast member should be and then some. Can not speak highly enough of them. I don’t know if I will ever be able to go back to Disney, and if that was our last family trip with all 6 of us, it was absolutely perfect and I know my siblings and parents couldn’t have dreamed of a better final disney trip with me. I have been to Disney many times throughout my life, but that trip, it was my favorite Disney trip (and trip in general) ever. Everything was so perfect, and I can say without a doubt it wouldn’t have been the same if we hadn’t stayed at OKW and been so loved by the cast members there.
The Cheesy Shrimp and Grits at Olivia's is crave-worthy. It's a special from time to time. Also, the Shrimp Po' Boy is excellent. Love OKW. Relaxing and comfortable. Love it there.
Love your videos Molly!! A nice way to leave a little bit of the stress of the current news at bay.....for a little while at least. I hope you and your family are remaining safe as well!
Thanks, Molly! My family of 7 stayed at a 2br villa at OKW last May- it was our first trip in over 20 years, and as adults it was the perfect immersive, most relaxing place. Started quarantining on 5 days ago, and this video was the perfect distraction. Thank you so much. -Andrea from New Orleans
I heard that the music plays on loop at the park even when it's closed. Does that mean the music at Fantasy Square will play consistently for the rest of the month with no people there? Something creepy to think about.
Thank you Molly and AllEars! I love your posts. We have a Disney World trip planned for mid June and I’m praying we can still go! We are staying at Shades as my husband is active duty. We have 6 days of parks planned, loads of dining reserved including the tea at the Grand Floridian! Again, love your posts, y’all are the BEST! Thank you!
This is my home resort and I absolutely can't recommend it enough!! Olivia's Buttermilk Chicken is DELICIOUS and the Gurgling Suitcase definitely holds a special place in my family's heart since both my parents are retired police officers! The rooms are spacious and the resort itself offers a vibe you can't find anywhere else!! 10 out of 10 in my book!
Hey Molly! You just made my day showing this video! This is our home away from home. Sorry we missed you, we were there in February but it was very warm the week we stayed. Love the Key lime pie, and the gurgling suitcase too!
I'm so happy your at Old Key West! My son's and I stayed there in September and LOVE it there!!! We were on Turtle Pond Road and I spent a day at the pool there, was lovely! I would stay there again in a heart beat!
New subscriber here. We’re self-isolating in Brisbane, Australia. Love your vlogs, you’re so easy to watch and listen to - not everyone is, BELIEVE ME!! We’re headed to OKW in May, we just love it there. Have to ask, which stay on lipstick do you use? It never moves!
We still have multiple VHS players, including one that's connected to our DVD player. We use it to covert our home videos from VHS to DVD. We even still have a working wall phone that we use all the time. These devices still exits and still work, yet sadly fade away. I'm typing this as you just stated that the movie rentals are actually DVD and not VHS lol. But they're still a thing and sometimes you just want to watch a classic Disney film like Cinderella VHS.
All WDW resorts have pros & cons. OKW 2 bedroom villa pros include one of the most peaceful and tranquil environments @ WDW as well Olivia's (incredible prime rib and awesome breakfast). Respectfully recommend OKW!
We are open to all opinions for our July 2021 stay. We will have a 4 night package with base tickets and are leaning towards staying at Riviera with our 2 adult children and their spouses plus our 2.5 yo granddaughter.......but our 2 night DVC stay for the 2 nights after our package is what is up in the air. We own at CCV and will book that for a guarantee stay but are hoping to find something at 7 months out and switching our reservation for those last 2 nights. I like the cheaper price point at OKW and think we could get a 3 bedroom......we won’t have any tickets for those last couple of days so we need a resort with a relaxing vibe. I originally thought BC because of Stormalong Bay but not sure how relaxing that would be plus it is hard (but not impossible) to get at 7 months out, esp in July. What resort do you think is a good one for a family of 6 adults? Is the golf course available to anyone who wants to play?
Thanks for the videos - they are very informative. I LOVE your coral-colored Mickey ears - where did you get them? I don't see them online at shopdisney (similar pair says they are red).
We stayed here in October 2019 (we have a walk through on our channel as well!). We LOVED Old Key West - it was perfect for our Disneymoon destination!
all about all the Key Lime! Also -- Pro Tip, If you're taking the bus around the resort, the Hospitality House is the last stop on every bus before it leaves the resort. AND the Penninsular Stop (just over the bridge from Hospitality House) is the FIRST, so you can walk there to get back to all the other sections of the resort on ANY bus.
OKW is our family's favorite. Mostly because the size of the 1 bedroom is huge! My wife and I have 2 teenagers and use the "great room" as their bedroom - one on the pullout couch and the other on the flipout chair. We like getting a room near one of the quiet pools. I recommend bringing/renting a car as the resort is huge and the Disney buses can add some time. If Disney expands the Skyliner to OKW and POR/FQ this would make it even more amazing.
I came here Last September I wish I had known about the trail and the run that they do! I could have totally done that the one day we did not go to the park.
When the parks are back, please do races with someone. Like, who gets the most fastpasses in one day, who goes to more rides in one day... I recently found you on UA-cam and I love your content Molly! So many good tips and them make me feel as I am in the park!
We always try for 3213 which is our favorite and most convenient for us. We get the two bedrooms because of the kids but they are all nice. I especially like the quiet and peaceful atmosphere at OKW. I wish they would make another dedicated DVC along these lines, somewhere. Who knows, maybe someday they will and turn OKW into condos or retirement community. My wife retires this year and we will be looking for a place in the area. Can't afford Golden Oak but maybe these? lol
Hi, Molly. I love your vids. The DVD rentals made me think of question. Do the WDW resorts have Disney+ on all the guest room TVs? Seems like they would.
We just got to day 99 on our countdown yesterday, then today we cancelled, currently looking to rebook for next summer, so prob on day 450!😭😭 glad we still have your videos molly! X x on the plus side, lots of new rides will be open next year 🤠
Hi there!!!! First off we love your videos so much!! Thanks for doing a review on this resort we are currently looking into DVC! I also have to ask we tried to figure out what brand your black frame blue lense sun glasses are !? Are they query!? I am just so obsessed as would love them lol thanks so much keep up the great videos !!!!
Staying at Old Key West, tried to order the Duvall Burger, were told they were no longer offering it. Not sure if its a temporary thing but very sad.... 😭😭😭
I’m glad I finally got to meet you while we were at the Gurgling Suitcase! I love OKW and I’ve been looking forward to this. Don’t forget to try that 1905 salad at the Columbia! 😉
Molly,did they named Old Key West because during the old times in a hotel industry, KEYS are used upon locking and unlocking guest room doors from the outside?🤣🤗
I know I am posting this quite late, but did anyone else notice that the handmade frame Molly pointed out had the name Molly at the bottom? Could it be our Molly??? I think she is too busy to respond to comments any more, but I am really curious. There was a picture of a cute little girl with brown hair, but everyone knows some people become more blonde as they get older. ;-)
Did you mean "clearly times have changed" or "clearly limes have changed"? Would have been nice if you had taken the time to show some of the rooms/accomodations.

Elizabeth Sheeren Your post is making me cry. What a sweet story. My daughter and I just said a prayer for you and your family. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing, sweet girl. I'm so glad you had such a wonderful trip with your family. ❤ Said a prayer for you.

Social distance watching Molly's video helps to forget the craziness in social media.
Thanks for posting these during this time. ❤️
Hi Molly, I’m from Ecuador and we’re in total quarantine, watching your videos keeps me in good mood. 😘
Stay healthy. 😷

I keep thinking I’m going to see a reflection of myself in your glasses.

My family loves Old Key West, so relaxing and enjoyable. I think we've stayed there 3 times and enjoyed it each time.
My family is staying here in November for our first ever Disney World trip! Thank you for showing us around the resort. Very excited for our trip!

Molly this is Great!!! Thank you for the details and the joy you bring to it all.
Our home resort - Since '94 - We love it there - Need I say more.
I remember coming here when my baby boy was only about 3. We were playing soldiers and he was having so much fun! I miss those days.
I heard that the music plays on loop at the park even when it's closed. Does that mean the music at Fantasy Square will play consistently for the rest of the month with no people there? Something creepy to think about.

I have been lucky to stay at Old Key West Resort twice (1997 and 2016) and would easily stay there again.
Molly your videos are the best! We are DVC members and have stayed at okw a few times and you still showed us more !!
Great tour, the host has a good personality for this type of video. Well done.
I've often complained about the Gurgling Suitcase and how small it is, but I have so many great Disney memories from inside there.
Awesome Report!!
SO excited to see this video!!!! Thank you Molly!!! Now I can get my fix of my favorite resort anytime! Love the ears! Love all you do!
Omg I love old key west especially olivias
Another cracking Molly vid! So much fun and so informative!! 😊👍🏻
Thank you Molly and AllEars! I love your posts. We have a Disney World trip planned for mid June and I’m praying we can still go! We are staying at Shades as my husband is active duty.

NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS MOLLY
Headed to OKW for the first time in January. Thanks Molly for a great tour!
Thanks for your great reviews Molly. Stay safe!
This is my home resort and I absolutely can't recommend it enough!!

Hi Molly,
Thank you for keeping the videos coming. In these stressful times it's nice to get a happy break
Hey Molly! You just made my day showing this video! This is our home away from home. Sorry we missed you, we were there in February but it was very warm the week we stayed. Love the Key lime pie, and the gurgling suitcase too!

She literally has the perfect job! Super jealous :)
My home away from home, the best home resort. I grew up at the old turtle pond pool
I love Old Key West
Hi Molly Im from Honduras, my city is on total lockdown so the virus does not spread. Love love watching All Ears!
Great video, you have such a nice, clear voice.
Molly y’all be careful ok. We love your video so much great information..😊❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This truly looks like a hidden gem!!!
Oh molly, I just changed my old key west stayfrom May 5 to sept 9. Sad day for me and the kids. But hey, at least I still get to go!
The mirror tint on those 😎🤩
this is my home resort. so sad we had to cancel our trip. Thanks for showing us around.
Which section do you recommend?
we stayed at old key west so many time I 100/10 recomend
New subscriber here. We’re self-isolating in Brisbane, Australia. Love your vlogs, you’re so easy to watch and listen to - not everyone is, BELIEVE ME!!
We’re headed to OKW in May, we just love it there.
Have to ask, which stay on lipstick do you use? It never moves!
Thank you for this Molly.
There’s an excellent fried chicken sandwich at the snack bar by the pool at Old Turtle Pond Road at OKW. The catch is it’s only open for lunch.
Love Old Key West!!! Love ur channel...especially watching u eat! haha! good luck to u! wish u all the success!
Yay, great. We going tomorrow
We still have multiple VHS players, including one that's connected to our DVD player. We use it to covert our home videos from VHS to DVD.

Fudge stripe cookies are the best for “s’mores”!!!!
It was our 1st DVC stay. Great resort but only bus transportation anywhere besides Disney Springs which has that great boat ride!
Thanks for the video! Will be staying here in July... hopefully!
Caralyn McGaughey same!! 🙏🏼🤞🏻🙏🏼
I had to go back and look at the signal flags when you mentioned them. There a couple below frame, but you're right about what they spell.
I love your ears!
All WDW resorts have pros & cons. OKW 2 bedroom villa pros include one of the most peaceful and tranquil environments @ WDW as well Olivia's (incredible prime rib and awesome breakfast).

Hi molly I just wanted to leave a comment and say that I love your videos so much!!!
Try the sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich at Good’s. Holy cow it’s delicious.
Heading there in November
Thanks for the videos - they are very informative. I LOVE your coral-colored Mickey ears - where did you get them? I don't see them online at shopdisney (similar pair says they are red).
What do you use for vlogging Molly? Is that your phone? Do you have a external microphone on it?
We stayed here in October 2019 (we have a walk through on our channel as well!). We LOVED Old Key West - it was perfect for our Disneymoon destination!
Also - OBSESSED with those Coral ears - I just picked up a pair myself!
Your videos are interesting. Love your enthusiasm.
Can’t afford to go to these sites but this kind of makes up for anything I’m missing out on.
Molly, love this resort tour.
Still dreaming of an Epcot walkable resort.
Honestly happy my budget goal was/is two years out now.
There’s a few Epcot walkable resorts like: Swan and Dolphin, Boardwalk, Yacht & Beach Club
all about all the Key Lime!
Also -- Pro Tip,
If you're taking the bus around the resort, the Hospitality House is the last stop on every bus before it leaves the resort.
AND the Penninsular Stop (just over the bridge from Hospitality House) is the FIRST, so you can walk there to get back to all the other sections of the resort on ANY bus.

I love your backpack so much I bought one this week. It arrived yesterday and I LOVE it!
EdensSecret1 which one?
I came here Last September I wish I had known about the trail and the run that they do! I could have totally done that the one day we did not go to the park.
They have a lot more food there than in the stores here now. :)
As I am not from US, I would also like to see a video about tipping. When to tip, to whom, how much?
When the parks are back, please do races with someone. Like, who gets the most fastpasses in one day, who goes to more rides in one day...
I recently found you on UA-cam and I love your content Molly! So many good tips and them make me feel as I am in the park!

Thanks for touching on the allergies Molly! Looks like a great resort! The food looked delish! Great tour 😍
Great video :)
Been dvc member old key West is my favorite place to stay on property

🙁
I still have a VHS player and a backup one 😂
I love your videos. The reflecting sunglasses are a bit distracting. Keep up the good work.
Hi there!!!! First off we love your videos so much!! Thanks for doing a review on this resort we are currently looking into DVC! I also have to ask we tried to figure out what brand your black frame blue lense sun glasses are !? Are they query!? I am just so obsessed as would love them lol thanks so much keep up the great videos !!!!
Quay brand!?
"Old Key West is the most relaxing hotel!"
*(Wilderness Lodge has entered the chat.)*
GoodbyeJeffery that’s soooooo true can we compare them
I LOVE the sunglasses in this video. Help a girl out, where can I find them?
Staying at Old Key West, tried to order the Duvall Burger, were told they were no longer offering it. Not sure if its a temporary thing but very sad.... 😭😭😭
Molly. You’re killing me. CLEAN YOUR GLASSES :) so... many... finger... prints. I’m not sure you’re able to see anything! :) 🦩
Are those Riviera ears on a Key West tour... is... is that allowed?
I’m glad I finally got to meet you while we were at the Gurgling Suitcase! I love OKW and I’ve been looking forward to this. Don’t forget to try that 1905 salad at the Columbia! 😉
I think Coronado Springs has a fitness center as well.
Molly,did they named Old Key West because during the old times in a hotel industry, KEYS are used upon locking and unlocking guest room doors from the outside?🤣🤗
Thanks Molly
Please do wildernesses lodge
LOL no need to hit the gym after walking like 10 miles a day between park hopping!
What kind of mic do you use for your videos?
I know I am posting this quite late, but did anyone else notice that the handmade frame Molly pointed out had the name Molly at the bottom? Could it be our Molly??? I think she is too busy to respond to comments any more, but I am really curious. There was a picture of a cute little girl with brown hair, but everyone knows some people become more blonde as they get older. ;-)
what kind of videos are you gonna post because disney is closed
Am I the only one who is flinching every time she says "Conch" wrong?? It's conch as in the shell, not conk?
Do an at home Mickey tie dye video.
Did you mean "clearly times have changed" or "clearly limes have changed"? Would have been nice if you had taken the time to show some of the rooms/accomodations.
Home!
Is the Old Key West Resort Disney owned or a concessionaire?
Dive Bar Casanova Disney owned
Hi Molly. Love the ears but can’t place the theme. Do tell.
AllEars Molly too cute!
Average room price year-round is $600 per nite.
Thoses prices tho
