The Infamous Gurgling Suitcase At Disney's Old Key West Resort The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van July 11, 2009

What is the deal with The Gurgling Suitcase? Why is it that this tiny bar is so popular with Disney Vacation Club members?

It's certainly not the biggest or prettiest bar in Walt Disney World. And I'm willing to bet that if you looked up "hole in the wall" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of the Gurgling Suitcase.
