 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Old Key West Resort This is one of the Disney resorts that I don't get out too often And I thought it'd be fun to come out have a little resort day show you some of my favorite things and then also We have dining reservations at Olivia's cafe This is one of the most underrated restaurants on property and they have homemade soups and some amazing fried chicken Anyhoo, let's go do this Honestly, I can't even remember the last time I was here at Old Key West It definitely hasn't been in the new year 2022 and I'm excited because I really do love Olivia's and I love Old Key West It's a beautiful resort It is always so much fun to come out and explore all the different Disney resorts And this resort itself is really close to Disney Springs So if you ever want to come out you can take a boat from there or you can make a reservation at Olivia's and come in park here I mean they really aren't that strict with the parking But I always recommend getting a reservation just in case and that's what we did today Like I said before I'm gonna give you a grand tour of the resort and point out a couple of my favorite spots Including the Gurgling Suitcase which is one of my kind of favorite little lounges on property And then a little bit later on we're going to Olivia's Old Key West is a Disney Vacation Club Resort And just because you're not Disney Vacation Club doesn't mean you can't stay here if you wanted to And I like the layout because it's a kind of a little bit special and different Most of the things are outside and they're in small individual buildings Compared to a big gigantic lobby and I kind of like it It's always fresh, it's very bright and very colorful and definitely has Old Key West vibes For instance this is the check-in area and it kind of reminds me of someone's like beach house living room And you'll see what I'm talking about when we go in here Look at it in here, doesn't everything just look so bright and open It literally reminds me of someone's living room at like a beach house or a little cottage I love it The really interesting thing is this is the first Disney Vacation Club Resort This was the first one and it was actually called just the Disney Vacation Club Resort And that was back in 1991 and in 1996 they renamed it to Old Key West But this is the beginning, the start of DVC Right here is a cozy little spot with some rocking chairs And you can just sit here and rock away and watch the DVC fairy come back and forth And just stare out at that beautiful blue sky and the trees And it's really really amazing here As I'm sitting here rocking in my rocking chair I'm thinking about the soup at Olivia's I don't know what soup they have, it's a soup of the day And it says homemade every single day So I'm excited, hopefully they got good soup Nice hot day like this, definitely go for some hot soup As of the making of this video, March 30th, 2022 The average night cost here is $519 And you can just look that up by going into Disney's Old Key West And it'll give you the price right there And let me know, what do you guys think? Let me know as we go through this video if you think it's worth $519 a night Obviously $519 is just an outright price outside of Disney Vacation Club So either you have points and you want to stay here Or even if you rented points it would be extremely cheaper But that's just like hey, if you just went to Disney and said I would like to stay at Old Key West Here's my money, that would be the price If you rented points you could probably get it for like $100 or $200 So we walked into the check-in and then came out on this side And then the other building over here, that's where Olivia's is And then also the general store And this is where we're gonna be having dinner a little bit later on And it is a really really amazing restaurant I think we can have a look at the menu for a quick second before we actually die And so we'll check that out They have breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner And brunch is only on Saturdays and Sundays And I hear the brunch is pretty amazing here But today we're here for dinner and it's from 5pm to 9pm And they have all the different menus on display out here So you can take a quick look, see And here is the dinner menu Before I was talking about the fried chicken The southern most buttermilk chicken is like their popular go-to item here But they have good appetizers like crab cakes, shrimp fritas The homemade soup of the day which I'm definitely gonna try And they have a slow-cooked prime rib So we're definitely gonna try something different today And I'm excited, I haven't eaten here forever They also have a really nice pool here And a lot of resort amenities They have the Surrey bikes here They have the boats and a lot of things Where you can actually just spend a whole day at the resort if you wanted to This is also a massive resort I mean this is huge It kind of reminds me of Caribbean beach So you have to walk far distance to like come over to the main dining area And we're just gonna show you around the resort in these areas And also we might actually give you like a little room tour Because I know that they do a lot of Disney Vacation Club open houses So it would be kind of fancy to see inside of a room And we'll try Because it's such a massive resort They do have like the Surrey bike rentals Which is kind of fun because recently we just did A little Surrey bike adventure at Disney's Boardwalk Resort And they also have regular bike rentals here And I kind of like that I don't think I've ever seen the regular bike rentals at a lot of resorts So it's cool that they have them here James Cruiser's Taxi Kind of fancy, I don't know anything about them though On top of the bike rentals They have a shuffleboard cord They have basketball They've got tennis They've got air hockey, ping pong A lot of cool things And of course the sandcastle pool The sandcastle pool is such an awesome pool Definitely a lot different than a lot of the other ones And it's cool because you can build sandcastles in here And they have tons of different like outdoor activities Like I said, they have the tennis courts over here And a lot of places you can just kind of relax And kind of hang out Beachy vibes Look at all the sand right here Here is all the bike rental information that you need It looks like you can rent a whole bicycle for a day For non-members, it's $19 a day Or $17 for the members Or you can do it like by the hour It's $9.59 to $8.63 They also have the Surrey bikes there too And they're a fun time One of my favorite little details About Disney Vacation Club Resorts Is they have a community hall Where they do special things and special activities Like tie-dying And also they have DVD rentals Which is kind of cool because it makes me miss Blockbuster And I was walking by the community hall here And they actually have a video drop-off slot Kind of like how you used to rent a movie And then you would drop it off in a drop box So I'm kind of interested to see what movies they have for rent Like I checked the ones at Bay Lake and it was shocking And I thought it would be fun to show you guys as well Right here they have the gym which is right next to the community hall And this is what I was talking about before How they had like a little video return drop box Right here So you just stick the movie back right in there And then if you want to rent some you can rent them in there And I think all the rooms have DVD players So I want to see what DVDs they have This is the inside of the community hall And I love it in here It's actually really really cool I love this mural they have on the wall And then like I was talking about here are the movie rentals And they have them separated by binders So you know they have the regular ratings So G, PG-13 and R And it's so funny because they have so many movies Like Arachnophobia do you guys remember that movie? Of course all the Avengers And then they got the newest ones too The Jungle Cruise is in there The Sixth Sense, Signs So interesting Chasing Amy That was a fun movie Bad Santa I think I point that out last time And they also I think have video games And here you can rent out Because they have systems I'm sure they have every Disney movie made And that's a cool little thing to have Like I said before they do do tie-dyes And a lot of resorts do this as well And here's a couple of the examples of what you can do And then they have all of the sports equipment For all the stuff outside that you can just Kind of come in here and take tennis rackets They got volleyball They've got everything They also have a pretty nifty Recreational pin board here And I like how you can use this for pinch rating Like is that fancy and everything is done by a number And a little bit of photo opportunity as well Celebrating 30 years 30 years old Key West resort The Community Hall is a really fun little spot Kind of like a living room And it's got TVs and DVD rentals But now I want to show you guys the Gurgling suitcase Which I talked about before It is such a fun little bar It's so tiny but I love it And I think that's why I like it so much It's a small lounge area With a lot of pizzazz, pizzazz And here it is The Gurgling suitcase And like I said look how tiny this little bar is But it has a lot of pizzazz All over the wall Lots of license plates and patches Some firefighters, police, canine units It's really really cool And it's got one, two, three, four, five Five stools at the bar And we got two over here as well Here is a look at some of the specialty cocktails They have the Turtle Crawl Slappy Joe's Bourbon Berry Key West Freeze, Key West Loaded Bloody Mary Ultimate Long Island And Olivia's Strawberry Lemonade These all look pretty fancy But I think I might just stick to the beer Of course this being Old Key West They have to have a nice little Key West beer Cheers! A fun little thing about all these patches And license plates I was told That these are actually brought in From people that stayed here Or that have this as their home resort And they have so many in the back That they're waiting to actually put out It's really cool because one thing I can say about Old Key West Is it is a very close Kind of connection With people that actually own here And you'll see a lot more when we go to Olivia's But it's funny because this is all Pennsylvania right here, a little Pennsylvania And that is where I'm from The Keystone State Disney VC Pennsylvania in 1996 that license plate was from I'm sure it's a little bit unlikely But it's kind of worth asking So let me know in the comments If you got to put your license plate Or one of your patches Inside the Gurgling suitcase Here at Old Key West. I thought it would be fun And I'll make sure to skim through the comments to see if that's One of you guys And then also when we get into Olivia's Let me know if any of those are your photos And you guys will see what I'm talking about When we get in there And just because there's not a lot of seats Inside the Gurgling suitcase Doesn't mean that there's nowhere to sit down And there's a lot of drinks They have all this outdoor seating And it's kind of like I said before Everything kind of has an open floor plan Everything's a little bit tiny And then just lots of space outside To enjoy the good weather We're going to have to check in soon For a reservation at Olivia's I got a five o'clock reservation So as soon as it opens up We're going to be able to go in And now we're just kind of waiting until it's that time In the meantime Cargo and provisions And they always have like Exclusive resort merchandise That we can check out as well And it kind of just like going inside The little general stores at each of the resorts They all are a little special in their own way I love that they have The Gurgling suitcase merchandise That is so cool Sip the day away and they got t-shirts They've got koozies They've got mugs and hats And that's what I was talking about Disney old Key West items Including a nice little sweater here Oh and a lot more over here Actually this is a lot of merchandise Normally I don't see this much resort merchandise But they have tons The general store Is actually connected to Olivia's So we're going to be able to see What Olivia's looks like Before it officially opens If the doors are open, I don't know if the doors are open yet or not Before I was talking about pictures And how this resort Has a great connection With the people that have stayed here And the people that call it their home resort And take a look at all these family photos On the walls here This is all outside of Olivia's Olivia's is actually right through here And this is a family album Meet our members Isn't this amazing? Like please let me know in the comments If your family is on these walls Because I think that is legendary Look at this picture right here Of a girl sitting down on a bench At Magic Kingdom with Cinderella That is so amazing I would probably just spend A lot of time staring at All these different like Disney family vacation photos It's so amazing Actually seeing stuff from the 90s Like that blows my mind Look at this actually I think that license plate right there Inside the Gurgling suitcase I love it I really do I really appreciate this It's kind of strange seeing All these character photos Like Dopey right here When did this exist where Dopey was just walking around It looks like Epcot in the background there And you were able to just Grab a photo with him That is so awesome we're up here It looks like we got Tigger there And I like the old Disney frames Epcot center Look at that one right there 2002 Alright It is time It is now 5 o'clock and the restaurant is open And I'm sure you can't see But inside there is a lobby full of people Who were waiting for it to open And that tells you a lot It tells you a lot about a restaurant Here is the inside Of the restaurant and it looks so nice In here doesn't it We have this little dining room over here And it has a bunch more photos Of Members you know the family Album actually the walls are covered in here Wow This is so cool Like I told you I kind of already am obsessed With all these family photos At Disney and now we found like a jackpot Look at this old Mickey frame right here Well that's kind of cool We're actually going to be dining in this room And it's called the Dolphin Room We're going to be dining with all these families And this porthole How fancy Jerry, Dan and Susan Looks like today's soup of the day Is a loaded fake potato soup I'm not the biggest fan of the loaded Fake potato soup so I don't think we're going to get that But we're going to have to look at the menu Like I said my go to and a lot Of people's go to has always Been the buttermilk chicken Here the southern most Buttermilk chicken and I'm torn Because like I said I want to try something new But that is a phenomenal dish First things first We get ourselves a little bread Service and it comes with A honey butter the rolls look Really good oh wow they are very fluffy and airy Oh I'm excited to try these And they're hot, hot biscuits Hot dinner rolls, hot potato Let's take a look at the rolls here You see that steam coming out of there Oh yeah try a little bit of the honey Butter and some good Rolls This is a very very good roll But I do remember Last time I was here which was probably Back in maybe 2020 or 2019 they had pineapple Coconut rolls and I don't think they served them anymore I asked the Cast member that was taking care of me And she said that they had like a Manufactural like a Manufacturing supply issue And they just switched over to these rolls And then added a little sweetness By coming up with the honey butter But I remember those pineapple coconut rolls Being phenomenal, these ones are good But they're not pineapple coconut rolls I tell you that We definitely have to stop eating the dinner rolls though Even though they're like Pretty decent dinner rolls If they were the pineapple coconut ones I probably would continue eating them But since we're not getting an appetizer And I don't like the soup And why not just get both of the entrees That I kind of wanted to get so I can show you guys So we're going to get the southernmost Chicken And we're also going to get the prime rev And if I don't eat it all then I'm going to take some home And I'm probably not going to eat it all But at least I'll have lunch for tomorrow Whether it be one or the other Or a little bit of both If you guys didn't notice My flannel shirt is actually a Spiderman flannel shirt From Roosevelt's Take a look at that, it's got tons of little Spiderman's And if you guys want to Buy a shirt I have a link in my description Where you can go to my personal collection page And Use the promo code PMM20 For 20% off your first order We're going to put a little of this gravy on here Look at that Oh my lord Perfect And we'll definitely want to save a little gravy for that biscuit Now that the gravy business is taken care of Let's take a look see here Got a cut open that chicken Oh yeah This is going to be so good I'll make sure to let you guys know which one I think is better Especially when it comes to price points and taste But here goes the chicken Now we got to try a little mashed potato here Got to get them all in there Scoopsie potato There we go, a little potato is a gravy Potatoes are amazing Holy moly Now we got to try the biscuit Got a little of the gravy on there This dish is such a solid dish Between the potatoes And the biscuit Now we got to grab some green beans I love some green beans, I wish we had some Brussels sprouts That would be great But yeah, the chicken lives up to the hype I can tell you that I think the thing that makes this chicken stand out Is that amazing Crispy breading on the outside It has so much flavor Into it, and it's definitely something different But I really do love it I'm going to switch up to the prime rib next though Because if I wanted to heat up Something or reheat something I'd rather do the chicken than the prime rib Now it's time for the prime rib And I like being able to show you guys Different options Usually when I come out to restaurants It's good to give you a little bit Of a variety And give you more to actually look forward to So it can help you decide what you want to get In case you want to come to the restaurant I wish I wasn't dining by myself If I had friends, then I could I mean I do have friends, but if I had somebody with me I could be like, hey you order that I'll order this, but I still do it Just so I can give you guys a better video A little bit better, and I get to try A little bit of everything The prime rib comes with A cabernet demi glaze here So we're going to cut in here Take a little bit from the side There's not a lot of seasoning On the outside of this prime rib Which makes it highly suspicious You know, I don't see any crust there But we'll try a little bit With the demi glaze And then a little bit Let it soak inside the ajou for a little bit When I was actually Coming in here I was speaking to a friend outside And she was telling me she's bloating free And she likes when I'm able to show the meats And stuff like that because she can't get the chicken So it's good that I'm able to show the prime rib And from the looks of it It doesn't look like the prime rib I would normally eat But we're going to give it a go The prime rib is good I like it with the Cabernet But I feel like it's lacking A lot of flavor or sauce So I'm going to try to let it soak A little bit in the ajou here That's the best way to do it I'm going to tilt it over here a little bit There we go And then we're going to drop this inside the ajou Let it just sit in there Let it soak up all the flavor And juices And see how it tastes afterwards I like how they give you a little cup here A little coffee cup While the ajou is sitting Let's have some broccolini here I do love me the broccolini too There we go Hard to eat with a fork though Because of the stem, you know There we go Broccolini Very good broccolini Now for the roasted potatoes Mashed potatoes are better Now let's check back On the prime rib here Shake it off So we don't get ajou on the front of our shirt There we go That's a big chunk of meat right there Okay so that ajou Made the prime rib like Pretty good So we're going to put Every single piece of prime rib In the ajou That's the plan from here on out Just ajou it up to Jack If I was to choose one or the other Fried chicken All the way And you guys know I'm a big prime rib fanatic And steak fanatic But that fried chicken is iconic The prime rib is kind of just You know But I would probably never doubt myself again And if I come back here again Which I will Just stick to the fried chicken You know stick to what you love I'm calling it I got a lot of prime rib left over But I did finish my chicken The chicken was too good I couldn't resist And I ate all the broccolini I like the broccolini better than the green beans And the mashed potatoes better than the roasted potatoes But with this I have enough for a little lunch tomorrow And maybe I'll get a souffle cup Of the ajou And have it there So I can use the leftover prime rib And I wanted to take the chicken home But I couldn't resist Now I am full Holy moly I thought about getting a banana bread Because that looked phenomenal It was kind of like the ohana bread pudding But with banana bread And then vanilla ice cream And then banana fosters on top And it's kind of funny because Both of those entrees my check ended up being $53 with my annual past discount And you guys know I do a lot A lot of Disney dining And my average My average check when I go out To a restaurant just for myself Usually is anywhere from like $50 to $100 in that range You know what I mean? It's expensive Disney food is Expensive and you kind of just get You know shocked with the prices And you're used to it. I mean you don't get Shocked anymore because you're just used to it So coming here and being able to get Two entrees for like $53 Is actually amazing. That is Probably cheaper than I would say 75% of the Other sit down restaurants on property Most places you know they have Prefixed where it could be Anywhere from $60 to $90 Per person. You know what I mean? So that's pretty insane And whenever I make videos With as much content as possible Whether it be appetizer entree Or dessert or a little bit of each Like adds like a whole entire prefix meal And when you start to add those up Appetizers can go anywhere from $10 to $15 Desserts the same way It's almost like getting two entrees for that price So it's really cool to be able to show you that But chicken all the way I should have just stuck with it because that would have been amazing Sorry for the long I don't know I just felt like going on about prices And giving you guys a little bit And yeah the chicken Is the best Now we're going to start making our way out And look at there's a nice little Moana bus there Where's that going though? Internal resort shuttle So remember I was talking about the resort being so big They actually have an internal Shuttle going all the way around To actually take you from Different points of a monster resort And it's cool that's a Moana bus It's a Daisy bus taking people to Magic Kingdom though And with that I think we are Done here today What a good little fun resort day Trying some food, checking out the resort I really do love it Let me know what your go to is at Olivia's Also let me know in the comments if any of those License plates, patches Or photos are of you and your family I think that's really amazing And I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it See you next time Bye
