DAY 1 travel
Our 4 night 5 day trip to Disney World. On this trip we will be Staying in a one bedroom at Old Key West. Flying from Las Vegas to Orlando airport. We chose Old Key West this time since we recently purchased points there to use for a point affordable three bedroom Grandvilla to host our family vacations. When we landed in Orlando we already received our room number and checkin information on our phone. Getting into our rented car it was off to Disney World and begin our short trip. But before we get to our destination we needed to stop at a supermarket and gather up some eccentials needed for our stay. Shopping finished, we arrive at Old Key West and our one bedroom. When we arrived we were happy to see a very large kitchen, dining and livingroom area. A very nice size one bedroom with connecting bath. We did notice that there was no door to the bathroom from the living area so you need to get to the bathroom through the bedroom, however it is just the two of us so it doesn’t matter. If you are going with others make sure you make it known that you need a one bedroom with a door to the bathroom from the living area. Outside there is a large porch overlooking a pond with a water feature and the golf course. This place is going to be very nice and comfortable for our stay here at OKW. We had made reservations at Olivias for dinner so it was time to head to the restaurant. I had the Shrimp Pasta which was okay. My wife had the Fried Chicken which is raved about in many blogs, but was just okay. We expected more because of the reviews.
On a comical but serious side note, my wife had told me about how many (not necessarily at any Disney Properties) rooms have been robbed in the middle of the night by theives using a credit card to unlock the slide lock that we think makes the door safely locked but they use a credit card through the crack in the door and are able to slide the lock open and enter the room while you are sleeping. So I looked around the place for something to slide infront of this slide to make it impossible for a thief to unlock this door. I found a large surrated knife in the kitchen that I slid in between the lock and the door and this made it impossible for anyone to use a card to unlock this door. Happy with my invention we called it a night. (See pics)
