The Lighthouse At Disney's Old Key West Resort: The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van August 28. 2009
I think we all have certain sights that scream "instant relaxation" or "back home again" at Walt Disney World. The lighthouse at Old Key West does both for me.
My family stayed here every year from 1992 until we moved to Celebration to start Owner's Locker. My four daughters grew up in this pool and I've ready many a book sitting in one of these chairs.
I guess the lighthouse is sort of the symbol of Old Key West. It's easily seen from most of the roads around the resort and dominates the pool area. It houses a sauna and there's a hot tub just in front of it. At night, the light at the top is turned on but it's more of a welcoming beacon than a warning to passing ships!
The pool and lighthouse are right behind the Hospitality House (check-in area).
