Well it's not huge news...But it is better than nothing! Anyway pics of a new one bedroom at http://allears.net/acc/g_okw.htm I think it's nice that they updated them enough without changing the true feel of the resort.

While there's a part of me that really hopes we get a refurbed room in August, there is also that part of me that would be sad not to get to see the old golden girls looking bedroom. :lookaroun:lol:
:ROFLOL: ahaha right! I have been wondering when it was time for old key west to get new rooms glad to see they finally got on that!! but the golden girl rooms will be missed.

Thank goodness they're not so PINK anymore! I like the new look - not overly modern, but it's not supposed to be. I think they struck a nice balance.
The new color scheme is much appreciated, and much less Golden Girly (I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it looked like that!).

Looks nice. Hard to tell from those pics since there isn't any real cohesive wide angle view, but it does look like a good refurb.

Great news. Our room in August was in horrible condition (visible mold growing on the floor by the door).

We are staying there for the first time for Food and Wine in October and then booked there again for the Disney Half Marathon in January just because of proximity to starting piont of race. We cancelled our one bedroom at Kidani Village and swapped to OKW and hope we do not regret that!
I just could not see being in the farthest resort from the race when we have to be there at 4am!
fingers crossed!!!!

Well it definitely makes sense to be closer. And OKW is very nice, peaceful and quiet it's just the rooms were dated and over due to a remodel! but the new ones are much nicer! Hopefully you get a new room!
maybe you can try and request a remodeled room?? it's worth a shot.I believe they are on track to be fully completed by spring of next year.

You should have called Member Services. I called our guide, emailed him a picture of our room (specifically, the mold), and the next day I got a call back from Member Satisfaction indicating all of the points had been refunded to our account for the stay. I didn't even ask for anything, just told them I wanted to voice my disappointment.

I think this is one aspect where WDW is definitely head and shoulders above the rest. When a guest complains they really go above and beyond to correct the situation. They understand a gift basket or refund is absolutely worth it to bring people back.
On one visit I arrived to my resort I was visibly upset from a run in with a flight attendant on my flight in. The CM at the resort was extra nice to me and later I had a small basket of treats in my room as a way to make-up for something that happened at the airport.
If you have an issue always bring it to management's attention at the time. They have so many more options to make things right in the moment than they do after the fact.
Please understand I am not advocating trying to work the system, only complain about legitimate issues.

Old Key West is the most polarizing of all the Vacation Club Resorts, I have stayed there almost every year since 93 and my family loves it every time. Maybe it's just that it is "home" to us. Although I can't really argue with the mold problem. I think the updates should make things a little nicer. Are they going to do away with the maps that are hanging on the wall in the hallway that leads to the master bedroom? I have enjoyed looking at that map since I was a little kid.
