Other Pools

There are three other, quieter pool areas throughout the Old Key West Resort: the Turtle Pond, Southpoint, and Miller’s Road sections all have their own pools.

Sports and Recreation

Old Key West has volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts. Complimentary volleyballs, tennis balls and racquets, and shuffleboard equipment can be rented at Hank’s Rent ‘n Return. You can also rent bicycles or surrey bikes here. There is also a 1.5 mile jogging trail located at this resort. For some indoor fun check out the Conch Flats Community Hall for amenities such as ping pong and pool tables, or stop by the fitness center.

Many Disney resorts, including Old Key West, offer complimentary campfires at night. Afterwards, you can stick around for an outdoor showing of a Disney film.
