Disney World hotels can be a little confusing if we’re being honest.
First of all, it’s difficult to decide where you’d like to stay, as Disney World has over 20 different hotels spanning three tiers (Value, Moderate, and Deluxe). If you decide to stay at Saratoga Springs Resort or Old Key West Resort, you may want to enjoy the walking trails around the resorts. However, we’re here to admit that one of these trails is VERY confusing if you’ve never traveled on it before.
Walking trails at Disney World hotels are a great way to explore more of the resort, see what other hotels or amenities you’re close to, or just get some exercise while on vacation (if you’re into that). We headed over to the beautiful Saratoga Springs Resort to check out the walking path that will take you to Old Key West Resort (or vice versa)…and quickly found ourselves lost. Yes, even Disney experts can get turned around!
When we looked at the pathway on our phone, it seemed relatively short and straightforward, but when we started following signage and began our walk, a Cast Member actually had to chase after us and tell us the way we were heading would take us THROUGH the golf course, which certainly wasn’t going to be safe. That definitely wasn’t our intention, so we turned ourselves around, checked the map again, and tried again.
We took that beautiful bridge above…only to find out that it took us to the Treehouses instead of Old Key West! Again, we were following signage and the map on our phones, but it quickly became clear that this pathway wasn’t nearly as easy as others we’ve taken, like the path from Disney Springs to Saratoga Springs.
If you’re ever confused about where to go in Disney World, you can always ask Cast Members nearby! They’ll be happy to assist you, but remember to always be aware of your surroundings — don’t be like us and almost walk into a golf course, even if it is unintentional.

So, did you ever find the correct walkway between Saratoga and Old Key West?
Don’t know if they found their way. But we did just read the sign from SS to OKW and it was simple. Long and hot but simple. More fun to take the boat out of Disney Spring. Cool breeze and real easy on your feet
