Old Key West (OKW) is the original DVC resort and was called the Disney Vacation Club resort when it opened on December 20, 1991. It was constructed in stages, with Stage 1 completed in 1992, Stage 2 in 1993, and the last stage completed in May 1994. (The preview center was demolished in 1998, and three additional buildings were built in its place.) In total, 49 buildings were completed with at least 8 different layouts. While the resort did not sell out until 1998, the end of the lease for all contracts was January 31st, 2042.
Sales began in October of 1991 at the preview center on the property at $51 per point, though pre-sale prices are indicated as having been only $48 per point. In addition, the annual maintenance fees started at only $2.51 per point per year. The resort was renamed Old Key West in January 1996. When the resort sold out in the Fall of 1998, prices were still only $62.75 per point.
In 2007, Disney trialed extending the contracts at Old Key West. At the time, Disney offered 15-year extensions (to Jan 31, 2057) for a price of $25 per point, though they offered a $10 per point reduction to $15 per point if owners signed up for it by the end of February 28, 2008. (Editor: While I usually refrain from opinion on this site, this was an incredible deal, and every owner SHOULD have chosen to do it - this was only $1 per point per year - even at the time contracts were being offered at around $95 a point which was almost $2 per point per year. I understand that many felt they would never use it, but the extended contracts maintain a value of about $15 per point more, which will expand as that date approaches closer.) This was a one-time offer that was eventually closed off to members (I could not find the date on which the offer was taken down.) Currently, direct contracts from DVC are sold with a January 31, 2057 end date. No one knows what DVC will do in 2042 when much of the resort ends its lease.
The resort is the second largest in the DVC system with 531 units, and 7,674,852 points. Buildings vary in number of rooms and even number of floors. Most buildings do not have elevators - Except the last 3 buildings that were built. Eight buildings have the separate booking category of "Near Hospitality House" (Buildings 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25 & 26), but these rooms do not cost more to book. Details of room distribution within the resort is shown below.
