D Bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There's a sauna at the gym at the Wilderness Lodge. There is also one at the spa at Saratoga Springs.
Hahaha! So there is nothing wrong with Tim!! He sweats so much because he is always in a Sauna!
D Bro very true
Anybody come back to watch this video after their OKW staycation?
Little did Tim know he and Jenn would be walking that trail path with their little buddy one day!!! ❤️
Please continue with your resort videos. i think they are great.
All star sports resort
Please do Saratoga springs
Totally agree I would love to see Tim walk around the Polynesian :)
you should do ford wilderness resort!
*Cough* The pool at Beach Club beats the pool at Old Key West *Cough* XD
My family have been DVC members since Key West opened and we have always loved it. Olivia's is great for breakfast and I agree with you there fried chicken is so good. The cast members are so nice, and the members that work the kids activities are always the best. Since I basically grew up staying there, it is my favorite resort out of them all. Definitely would recommend staying here, and if your a golfer it is a good course to play on. The vacation houses are ginormous, and are set up like apartments, some even have multiple floors, and all have full sized kitchens. Whether you get a two bedroom or 4 bedroom they are all great. I can remember every time we stayed there I got a balloon animal and I would be so happy. It is hands down in my opinion my favorite resort, and I always like how it is quiet and calm, and you feel relaxed when you are away from the park.
"King of the bus, King of the bus - always my favorite part of the video don't know why but I just love it! :D
SJBBVideos When I go on the bus now I always sit in the middle and do "Queen of the bus" 😂😂😂
SJBBVideos when ever I see that part I always crack 😂😂😂😂😂😂
yes i love that part! i totally shouted it at my tv at the same time
Gemma Rosanna I said that when I was there for my birthday weeks ago
Would really like to see Polynesian tour. Especially would like to know difference between village and villas
crystalbeastinca I have a dvc at polinisan and the villas are a better value than the bungalow villas
crystalbeastinca villas are DVC and villages are regular
I would like to see the Polynesian Resort and merchandise
Of all the resorts you've visited this one really stood out! I've never considered staying here before, but I would now! It looks amazing!
Hannahsneverland You definitely should! It’s my favorite resort. The atmosphere at OKW is just unbelievable. The second you walk off the Magical Express and the cast members say “welcome home” you feel instantly transported. It’s honestly such an underrated resort.
Hannahsneverland the rooms are the biggest on property
I have a metal roof and it's nice! the look is nice and no loudness or anything. Also holds up good in the hurricanes here in florida

Tim is the type of guy that would say "yea this chair moved a few feet!"
Apologies in advance for the length of this, but I gotta say it! THANK YOU for making these vlogs! I worked at Disney World for almost a year doing the Disney College Program and it was the best 9 months of my life. Getting to make magic for the guests that came to the parks - whether it was their first time or they came every day like you guys do - was great, but my favorite part of the whole experience was getting to explore the parks in-depth and enjoy things that most people on a busy vacation might miss. I got to do so much while I was there and still didn't get to do everything I wanted! My friends and I had a mission to swim in every Disney hotel pool while we were there (that didn't happen), to visit all four parks in one day (that did happen), I got hooked on pin trading, and finding the limited time magic events like when the Main Street Quartet did a Backstreet Boys medley or some rare characters came out for pictures were highlights of my time there. I miss it dearly, but after finding this channel a month or so ago, I feel like I'm right back in my college program finding something new every day. I love how you guys try everything, ride the underrated but awesome rides (Living with the Land, heeeeey), and point out tiny details that most people walk right by. People like you made my day when I was working there, genuinely happy and excited and willing to engage with me and my fellow cast members. I'm always so excited to see what each day has to offer, whether it's a resort tour or a holiday party, or a park that isn't on Disney property or even just a home vlog! They're all great and you two have a chill, funny, and relatable way of vlogging that is so charming and wonderful I can't even put it into words. So thank you both for these vlogs and making me feel the Disney magic every single day, even all the way in Massachusetts. Now it's time to pay the price!
I'm glad you love Old key West, it's so underrated!
Olivia Reed ikr I love it there
I stayed at Old Key West way back in 97. That was the last time or next to last I have been to WDW. I remember being blown away by the place. The only reason we got to stay...a DVC member rented out their time...so thank you whoever you were.
This made me so homesick for Old Key West! We loved our stay there last Sept/Oct. We were right beside the hospitality house and could see the fireworks from Hollywood Studios and Epcot. Some folks really hate on this resort, but we really enjoyed it.
People seem to hate because it isn't "Disney enough" which like Tim said makes you feel like your not in Disney but in a beach town which is what I like best about it.
Yeah you're not supposed to think you're in Disney because it's so heavily themed
Metal roofs are AWESOME and they are worth the money !! Keeps the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter - and listening to the Rain is magical on a metal roof
After all the disney hotels are explored please do universal, would be cool
LordNord123 their hotels don't have themes
of course they do for example cabana bay is 50s theme and hard rock has a rock and roll theme.
LordNord123 Yeah but just like Universal I'm sure they don't have the same level of theming and magic you get from Disney.
Love your comments Tim about OKW. We're DVC members and it's our home resort. For you to visit for the first time, I love that you recognized how nice it is. We feel like it's the hidden gem of Disney.
Tim can you pretty please do the Contemporary, thanks!
YungBR6 the contemporary is nothing interesting. The DVC resorts actually have stuff.
Contemporary has its own DVC building, Bay Lake Tower. Check yourself before you wreck yourself haha.
Contemporary will definitely be a break from all these massive walks.. though aren't most parts of the hotel restricted to guest access? There's always the main lobby and restaurants I guess :/
My parents are DVC members. We've been a DVC family since I think 1993 or 1994 so Old Key West is our home resort. I remember taking the boat to downtown disney (disney springs) as a kid and also doing activities at the community hall. We usually end up staying near the Turtle pool, but sometimes we'd take the bus or walk down to the main pool if we wanted to take part in the special activities or use the waterslide. Last time we played table tennis it was free to borrow the equipment, but I haven't been since 2015. The golf course has actually had some famous players play there. I remember my grandfather meeting Tiger Woods back in the 90s when he has playing there.
Hi Tim, we have just returned from Old Key West. Your review of the resort was perfect, we had a fantastic time and stayed close to the Hospitality House. This was our 2nd visit
here and can't wait to go back. Just have to say we have been following you for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoy yours and Jen's reviews. Keep up the good work.
The “stage” you see at old Key West is used for evening movies on a blow up screen.
You two should come on vacation to Hilton Head South Carolina. Stay at the only off property DVC resort not in Florida. Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is super laid back. Think you would really enjoy it. (You can book a room without being a member. Just don't try in the summer it won't happen :)
blue ferral there's also Aulani in Hawaii
I stayed here at the Old Key West Resort when I came to Disney World for a vacation back in 2011 with my Mom, brother, Great-Grandma, Aunt, & cousins & we loved it!! We were not disappointed at all.
You should got to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort! They've changed so much there, especially the pool areas! And it has the best view of Cinderella's Castle! 🏰🌋
The hotel I do believe it's called cinderella something but a room with the view of the fireworks was like only 99.00 a night to 125.00
Disney resorts are even more magical at night. They have a really great feel with all the lights on
I'd love to see All Star Movies and Contemporary resort!
The Theme Geek contemporary isn't very interesting
Donya Ren Yeah I agree with that I didn't find Saratoga or Old Key that interesting when I went either.
I'm going there in 4 weeks
I went to Disney for the first time ever in February of 18. My cousins are DVC members & we stayed at Old Key West. It is a beautiful place & the rooms are like apartments. Ours was 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths with a kitchen/dining/living room combo room. It also had a large balcony overlooking one of the fountains at the golf course! Fantastic place to stay especially if you are going with a family group!
Thanks for the great video! Just rented points to stay in September, this was super informative!
Wait, you watch Tim too? Love your channel.
Tim! I am such a big fan of yours. I actually am a cast member at this resort and you come here the one day that I am off. Please come back and say hello sometime! I can make you an assortment of balloon animals for you to bring home to Jen!
My girlfriend and I are staying at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort in October. We hope you do a video soon. Take care, Mr. Tim!
That would be fun!
Old Key West is my home away from home at Disney!!!😊😊 My parents were OG DVC members (back in 1993) so we always stayed there when I was growing up. Also, like you said Tim, the rooms are much more spacious than at any of the other resorts. Can't say enough great things about this resort!
Tim, thank you so much for going to Old Key West. We are setup to stay there for the first time in November. Your video was really helpful.
We are DVC members and have stayed at Old Key West a few times and it's wonderful. So quiet and the one bedroom rooms are huge. They have a living rm.,full kitchen, dining area, bedroom, huge bathroom and laundry rm. We really enjoy the porch area. It really is a great resort. Thanks for the tour. Love your videos. Sending Blessing to you, Jen and Bandit, he is in my thoughts and prayers.
This was a fun one. I've never seen much of this resort outside of Olivia's!
Main Street Citizens I stayed there last summer with my family. The Sandcastle Pool is pretty good but the slide is fun. I'm a bigger guy and I like to go down sitting instead of laying down. I like that the tube is big enough for me to do that.
Stayed there Christmas 2010 and it is a lovely resort and does feel you are away from the madness of Disney for a little while. We had a balcony and a jacuzzi tub in our room and had a mini living room with the usual washing facilities. Top tip if you do stay there....ask to have a room away from the bus stop, early morning till later on in the evening you can hear the hydraulics of doors opening and closing of the bus doors.
to the 30 people that dislike this video, get a life, tim and jenn are great people that do their best to provide us with great content! thank you tim and jenn!
It's called a "standing seam metal roof" more expensive that a traditional roof but lasts longer. Much more aesthetically pleasing. And gives you that neat rain sound.
Dang Tim, really stepping up the descriptive adjective game!
King Poseidon b
My parents bought a DVC membership at Old Key West back in 1995, and my husband and I bought one (resale) at Old Key West 2 years ago. My best Disney memories were at OKW. It really is home ❤️. In 2003 we had a family reunion trip and took a big family photo on that stage area with the family tree
Saratoga Springs Resort!!!! BEST RESORT AT WDW
Beginnng at 15:41....LMAO!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Tim's voice just cracks me up ! "How relaxing is that boat ride....". Sounds like he's doing voice over for a commercial.
You read my mind Tim, just booked for next year, but had no idea that Old key West was so big. May reconsider.
Old Key West is big, but the buses for the parks travel through it to multiple stops. You can take them from where your staying to the front and back. Or stay on to go to the park of your choice. I have stayed there twice. Nice place for people that like someplace quite to go to after the park. And travel to most parks take the about the same time.
its great for people who prefer to use their car since you can park right outside your room. Especially if you have someone who cant walk too much/uses a wheelchair. The rooms are also huge with a nice sized kitchen area if you wanna save money on food (my family goes to the closest walmart and stocks up to save tons on food.
When I was young many 6 or something we stayed in the Old Key West resort and we actually had the turtle pool basically all to our selves before it looks like its slight renovation. I also learned to swim in that pool as well which is pretty cool to see again after so many years.
Old key west is an amazing resort! We stay there all the time when we go to Disney. The rooms are sooooooo big and don't cost too much either. Also Saratoga springs is the same way.
Omg I let my sister make our hotel reservations she picked this nasty hotel I believe it was in Saratoga Fla. It was called the Saratoga motel have u heard of this place omg we didn't even stay one night we changed hotels as soon as we got there n we ended up staying right here at old Key West
We are DVC owners and our home resort is Old Key West. It’s a vacation in itself. We love it there. The rooms are bigger than other DVC properties because it was the original DVC resort. You park just outside your room which is super convenient. To respond to your mosquito question I have to say we’ve stayed in several different times of the year and have had no problem with any bugs including mosquitoes. And I’d know because I am a skeeter magnet. Those fountains keep the water moving which helps deter them. You’ll love staying there! Spending the morning on the balcony/porch watching the ducks & squirrels is so very relaxing. Y’all should definitely stay there. Look into renting DVC points to save money on your stay. Enjoy!
All star sports please! My fiancé & I are going there in October! This is my first Disney trip since I was 4 years old so your videos have really helped me prepare & get super excited about our honeymoon trip.
RespectSMGomez he did all star music and I've stayed at sports it's the same just sports insteed of music
We walked to the Turtle Shack pool along the path with the beautiful views of road works as we stayed in building 49. My husband played golf there too - it’s the Lake Buena Vista course that is spread over OKW and Saratoga Springs. It was just over $100 to play including club hire and a cart. Tip- if anyone is planning to play, scout around the area for a few days beforehand - my husband found all the golf balls he needed lying around and only bought a few Mickey ones! Also don’t be put off thinking you have to walk everywhere - we used the buses like a shuttle service so travelled in air conditioned comfort! Great video Tim that brought back super memories. Swaila
Old Key West is my favorite resort the only thing I wish they had a better Quick Service restaurant.
Elaine Kantner It would probably take the removal of the tennis courts but I'd like to see them add on to the Hospitality House, move Olivia's to there and make the current Olivia's space into the big quick service restaurant.
I stayed at OKW years ago as the guest of a couple of friends who are DVC members. This whole video made me smile. I have to say - it was great fun sitting on the back balcony with my coffee in the morning, MST3K-ing the golfers! 😂😁
Tim please show Polynesian Resort
Ahh the memories! My family have been DVC members since '92 and I remember growing up with the Disney Vacation Club. This resort really is crazy neat. I still remember "The Frog-men" in the water around the golf course!
All star sports if possible. I go in 18 days and would love to see your take on it.
i was born and raised and currently live in Key West ! back in the 1920s there was a great fire here and it destroyed all of Key West and it's homes, so when they were being rebuilt, it was required that you have a metal/tin roof to avoid great fires that again
I know its small but can you guys show Fort Wilderness (not the Lodge)
Mikaila Meli that would be fun
Tim Tracker I used to work there three years ago. Nice relaxing resort and the balloons are what the cast members (at check in) give to all the kids in animal form upon checking in.
Sauna means family. Family means... I don't have a witty and clever way to end this. Ding dang!
Old Key West is my absolute favorite resort to stay at during a Disney trip. The rooms are bigger than every other resort because it was the first DVC resort. The boat rides make trips to Disney Springs so nice and convenient. Olivia's is one of the most underrated restaurants on property. It's such a relaxing resort. Just went back in June and I cannot wait for my next trip there. Btw... I am a runner and that trail is my favorite running trail I've ever been on, I normally can't run outside but I feel so good after finishing a run on that trail. Thanks for posting this one, makes my wait for the next trip more bearable.
I stayed at Old Key West with my family in July, was incredible! Absolutely loved it 😊
Matthew Cobain July???
Metal roofs are great. If installed properly they are very strong against hurricanes and bad weather. If your attic is properly insulated there is no extra noise or heat from the roof. They look great and last a long long time.
Port Orleans Riverside! I proposed to my fiance last week in front of the Acadian House there at Riverside. We would love to watch your video on it!
94Scottdawg congrats!
Love your videos, Tim. We've just booked for OKW next year. I love the lack of overt Disney theming but still with the Disney quality, it makes it feel like two holidays in one. The intensity of the parks with a relaxed, deluxe resort to go back to and recharge.
Do Fort Wilderness
Fort Wilderness/ Fort Wilderness Lodge for sure
Definitely want to see Fort Wilderness. Planning on a trip for my honeymoon
I think he already did one for fort wilderness
Fort wilderness is absolutely incredible
We love OKW. It was the first of the DVC Resorts we stayed in and remains a definite go-to. You hit on some of the reasons why: bigger rooms, relaxed atmosphere, pleasant surroundings. When I played golf, I enjoyed Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. I'd call my wife from the course so that I could wave to her and our kids (when they were toddlers) while I passed. Lots of memories there and we look forward to going again.
Port orleans riverside. Going there soon and would like to see a tour so we can plan. Thanks
Tim and other youtubers are the reason Disney commercials are rare. I only ever see one during special events. The only park commercial I remember was for DCA when I was 5.
VIP Castmember just means that bus is transporting Cast from one location to another
We stayed at Old Key West Resort last week. Their rooms are the biggest DVC accommodations on property. It's an awesome resort.
Do Disney Port Orleans Riverside
Ann Russell I stayed their just recently with my family and it was AMAZING
Yes, please do this one.
Was lucky enough to stay here a couple year ago on my first ever WDW trip, set the bar pretty high! The rooms are definitely more 'apartments' than standard hotel rooms, we had our own kitchen, spa bath and separate shower, laundry room etc.. and our balcony overlooked the lake looking toward the main pool area, bliss! Probably the nicest accommodation I've stayed in but it's only really worth it if you are going to spend some time at the resort too, as we were more park based so probably didn't utilise it fully.
Id like to see Saratoga
The rooms at Old Key West are very nice and spacious. We had a great stay there several years ago. I'd love to go back.
How is Bandit!!!!
We live in upstate New York and opted for the steel roof. We get pounded with snow in the winter and the sun helps heat up the steel and helps the snow slide off the roof.
This resort is great!! Highly suggested for groups.
We stayed at Old Key West last year and loved it. The room was very large compared to other DVC resorts except Vero Beach. ODW and Vero were the first DVC properties. Since then the room size and layouts have changed. The only problem with Old Key West is the lack of elevators. We were on the second floor. My wife has a problem climbing steps, so we only went out once a day. So if anyone is planning to stay there they should take that into account. I've since learned that some of the vacation homes have elevators, but most don't.
Have you done the Yacht Club. Would love to see that.
We rent points to stay at OKW quite often We love it. Yes rooms are great. Such a restful place and boat is a huge plus
You guys are the best youtubers around. Been a subscriber since 2010 when I found your channel looking for Horror Nights videos. This channel was the first one I've ever subscribed to and you guys will always be my favorite. Thank you for what you guys have done over the years!
Cody DeGorter Nice.
We stayed there 2 years ago and fell in love with it. The studios are huge! And i would wake up early and sit on the balcony and watch the golfers. Oh and side note laundry is free there.
King of the bus.. king of the bus.. king of the bus... I think you should go to pop century
Avery Hughes I love pop century
The Banana Bread French Toast at Olivia's is amazing. Other's prefer some of the other options, but this is my go to every time I stay there! One perk for those staying in a studio room is that instead of a bed and a pull out couch, OKW is the only DVC property that has two queen sized beds.
Please do All-Star Sports next! :)
We have a metal roof on our new townhome. We love it! It's not loud at all. You can't tell it's even raining out. And I think it's colder in our house having a metal roof.
Can you please do a video on disney's Art of animation resort 😭💕
Elvia Delgado he's done it before
Luke Whitten Exactly..
We have a metal roof and love it. Just got it this past June. Not loud at all and it hasn't made the house hotter. Now it is a big jump In price from a regular roof but they are supposed to last a lifetime. So definitely worth it!
Can you do Grand Floridian
We always walk over to Key West Resort on the trails from Disney Springs, then take boat back. In fact we will be doing it tomorrow afternoon.
I've been Florida 5 times had a blast and your channel makes me wanna go more
Kian Hart I live for the Tim Tracker until I can go back
The rooms are larger at OKW than other Villas. We've stayed there twice in a 1 bedroom unit and our family of 4 had plenty of room. Bathrooms are huge and units have their own laundry facilities. Highly recommend.
Help !!!! My Hypnotoad got stuck in the toaster what do i do
Call the HYPNOTOAD hotline and we can assist you.
We put a metal roof on our house around 4 years ago, and it works fine. They screwed the metal on over top of the shingles that were on the roof and I think that's why the noise is softer when it rains here in East North Carolina. A friend of mine down in New Orleans had a metal roof on his shed with just wood under it and it was loud when it rained. Our metal roof has helped to lower the cost of heating and cooling too.
Do the Contemporary resort!!
Evie 213 there's nothing nice it's just a hotel with a monorail going through
Donya ren it’s great for kids as they have mikeys kitchen where the characters meet the kids while u eat also rooms are pretty
Donya Ren yeah nothing nice about seeing the firework show from your hotel window after a long day
Me and my family stayed at okw in April 2017 and we had a 1 bed apartment. The rooms are nice, with a jucuzi tub with a separate bathroom. They have there own living area with room for pull out sofas, and a great view outside of the golf course. The mousekeeping wear amazing, staff wear Lovly. We will stay again the next time we are in Disney . The bus rides are not long, you can even see fire works from magic kingdom. This is such a relaxing resort, the stage area is for a out door movie.
All star sports!!!!!! Pleaaaaseeee
LOVE LOVE metal roofs!! They sound so pretty in the rain.
Pls go to boardwalk resort. The clown slide is 👌
Yes, we have that style of roof. We got it after Hurricane Katrina, and it can withstand over 110+ mph wind.
All star sports
So excited we will be there soon! The balloons at the check-in , they give to the kids! my son loves it!
You can totally ask at any of the hotels front desk to see a room. Usually if they aren't fully occupied they'll let you see the different rooms. I used to work at the Grand Floridian and would show the rooms all the time.
You should go to swan and dolphin hotels
