Last fall the Disney Vacation Club reported that it was creating a separate booking category at Disney's Old Key West Resort.  This category would enable members to guarantee placement in a room near the Hospitality House at the time the reservation is secured, pending availability of course.  Now it appears this change has been fully implemented.  

During the 2007 Condo Association meetings DVC held a special session for owners at Disney's Old Key West Resort to discuss details of the 15-year contract extension offer.  One of the topics discussed was special financing for those wishing to extend.

DVC has announced that buildings 41, 42, 43 and 44 at Disney's Old Key West Resort will be closed January 13 through March 15, 2008 for exterior painting.

These buildings are located in the Turtle Pond area, and the dates partially overlap with the pool refurbishment scheduled in that section of the resort.  The pool closure is currently scheduled for January 14 through February 10, 2008.

Allearsnet.com is reporting that Old Key West's Turtle Pond Pool and the Turtle Shack snack bar will be closed from January 14 to February 10, 2008.

On this day 16 years ago The Disney Vacation Club (Now Old Key West) officially opened its doors. 

MousePlanet.com's Mark Goldhaber had a few questions for DVC regarding the 15-year extension offer at Old Key West.  DVC wasn't particularly forthcoming with useful answers, but you can read the entire exchange HERE.
