When you have a large(r) family or are looking for room to spread out on your Disney vacation – and maybe even have a kitchen so you can do some cooking – what do you do? Happily, the Walt Disney World Resort offers a number of options for guests who are looking for just that, at their Deluxe Villas. While some villas are part of existing deluxe resorts and so share facilities and amenities (Disney’s Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Animal Kingdom Resorts are examples) there are several deluxe villas that are ‘standalone’ resorts in that they only have villas. One of these – and a personal favorite of ours – is Disney’s Old Key West Resort. With a quiet and colorful Key West vibe, and enhanced with water ways and palm tree lined streets, this resort might just be the perfect option for your next Disney vacation. Read more

Or was it something else? Well, the minute I entered the building (or rather walked up to the entrance), I realized it was all of those things and more, and most of all, it is FUN! Read more
