Disney's Old Key West Resort and Room Tour

Located near the Disney Disney (Soon to be Disney Springs) area, is Disney's Old Key West Resort. Old Key West is not only a cash stay resort, it is also home to Disney Vacation Club Villas as well. This is one of my favorite resorts because of the laid back Key West vibe and also because the rooms are some of the biggest on property. It also has boat transportation to Downtown Disney-my favorite means of Disney transportation! 

Check in area.

It was just the two of us for this stay, but even if dad had joined us, there would have been plenty of room. We stayed in a Studio Villa. the room has 2 queen sized beds, a table and 2 chairs in the sitting area, a nice sized kitchenette area with an dorm fridge, toast, coffee maker & microwave, as well as a sink for wash dishes. Because it is a villa, you will also get some basic supplies, like dish soap, dish towel, paper plates and plastic cutlery, coffee in a bag, dry creamer, sugars, etc. Here are some photos of the room.

So pretty lit up at night!

*Note: These photos are before the resort wide soft goods upgrades. Most of the resorts have been switched from the bedspreads to neutral linens, comforters and simple runners.

Disney Cruise Line Returns to the Big Apple

If you live near the New York City area, mark your calendars for October 2016.   Disney Cruise Line is doing a set of cruises during that month, departing from the New York port.  This is huge savings if you are able to drive to the area instead of flying to Florida.  Here's hoping the cruises do well and Disney continues to consider New York a departure port!

The Details:

• There will be one Canadian Coastline sailing on October 2, 2016 which is proving to be very popular.  This 5 night cruise on the Disney Magic has stops in St. John and Halifax and is round trip from New York.  Sample pricing for a family of 4 in an Oceanview stateroom begins at $4,022.
• Looking for the Caribbean?  All month long the Disney Magic will be sailing from New York to the Bahamas with stops at Nassau and Castaway Cay.  Along the way a port stop in Port Canaveral gives guests the option to go to Disney World for the day with a 1 day parkhopper ticket and transportation to the park.  Sample pricing for a family of 4  in an Verandah stateroom begins at $7,400.

These staterooms are going fast!  So contact us at Snapshot Getaways for a detailed quote for your family.
