Disney's Old Key West Resort Family Activities

Feature Pool Complex
The resort's 149,600-gallon main pool features a fun-filled circular slide, designed to resemble a giant sandcastle. Nearby, there's a small kiddie pool, a sand play area and a lighthouse sauna. Staff-led activities on the pool deck range from "Water Balloon Toss" to "Goofy Bingo," and regular pool parties feature music and games. Towels are available on the pool deck. Complimentary life vests can be checked out at Hank's Rent 'N Return. Swim diapers are required for non-potty trained children. They can be purchased at Conch Flats General Store, along with baby and toddler supplies and limited groceries. Pool hours are 7 a.m. to midnight, while lifeguard and slide hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In the vicinity, several interconnected play structures offer fun for kids from ages 2 to 12. There's a soft sand surface underneath, and a sun sail shade is above. Nearby, there's sand volleyball court, a basketball court and a fire pit. The latter is the site of frequent campfires and s'mores.

Turtle Shack Pool Complex
Between Buildings 41 and 42, a smaller (but still sizable) pool provides plenty of sunning space on the deck, and is generally less crowded than the main pool. A large playground (recommended for children between 2 to 12 years) is adjacent and features a sun-sail shade and several spring-loaded animal ride-ons, like a dolphin and a seahorse. Nearby, there's a small Jacuzzi and a covered pavilion with picnic tables.

Additional heated pools and playgrounds are located in the Miller's Road and South Point neighborhoods.

Hank's Rent 'N Return
At this equipment and rental shop with a window to the resort promenade, you can borrow traditional or surrey bikes. Rental boats will float families along the Trumbo Canal and the Sassagoula River toward Downtown Disney. You can also borrow volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard and tennis equipment. Hank's Rent 'N Return is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Bike and boat rental hours vary by the season.

Community Hall
At this gathering spot for guests, kids can play games like foosball, pool, air hockey or Playstation 3. Kids can enjoy coloring a picture, playing board games or making craft projects, like "Make a Button" or "Make Your Own Beaded Jewelry." For little ones, there's a play tent and a few toys. You can rent DVD's here, too. Hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Arcades
Two small arcades provide temporary diversion. The Electric Eel Arcade is located near the main pool, just across from a ping pong table on the promenade, while the Flying Fish Gameroom is adjacent to the Turtle Shack Pool. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Tennis Courts
Near the main pool, two lighted tennis courts are available for match play. An additional court is located near Building 34.

Bayou Pirate Adventure Cruise
