Disney’s Old Key West Resort, a favorite among Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members, is temporarily closing the Miller’s Road Pool for scheduled maintenance. This closure, beginning September 29, 2025, is part of Walt Disney World’s routine efforts to maintain and enhance its resort amenities. Here’s what guests need to know about the closure and alternative options available during this period.
Details of the Closure
Closure Dates
The Miller’s Road Pool will be closed from September 29 through late November 2025. During this time, crews will perform necessary updates to ensure the pool remains a safe and enjoyable space for guests.
Why Fall and Winter?
The fall and winter months are typically chosen for pool maintenance due to moderate temperatures and lighter resort crowds. This timing minimizes the impact on guests while ensuring the amenities are in top condition for the busier seasons.
