Old Key West: How Much More Can You Get with a Resale Contract?

If you’re browsing this website, you probably already know that you can save thousands of dollars on a resale DVC contract compared to buying one directly through Disney. Beyond these savings, another way to measure the difference in value between a resale contract and a direct one is the number of points you can purchase for the same price. To illustrate, let’s take a look at an Old Key West direct contract versus an Old Key West resale contract.

Why Old Key West?

Old Key West was the very first Disney Vacation Club resort! It has a loyal following of fans who love its laid-back atmosphere and the larger rooms. When you want some peace and quiet, the sprawling resort is a great place to relax. If you’re looking for all the dining, shopping, and entertainment of Disney Springs, Old Key West is a scenic boat ride away.  As an older DVC Resort, Old Key West also has a nice low points chart, so you can get more nights out of your points!

What Does an Old Key West Direct Contract Cost?

As of November 2025, a direct contract at Old Key West goes for $215 per point. If looking at an average-sized contract of 160 points, that direct contract would cost a total of $34,400.  For that 160-point contract, you could get a weeklong stay in a Deluxe Studio at Old Key West for most travel periods and a One-Bedroom Villa for the two cheapest travel periods.

How Much Can You Save with a Resale Old Key West Contract?

As of September 2025, the average price per point for an Old Key West contract is $89 per point. For a 160-point resale contract, the total cost would be $14,240. That’s $20,160 less than the cost of a 160-point direct contract!

How Many More Points Can You Get By Going with a Resale Contract?

Another way to look at the difference between direct and resale is that if you were to put the $34,400 that you would have spent on a direct Old Key West contract towards a resale contract instead, you could purchase a 395-point contract! In other words, buying a resale contract instead of a direct one gets you 235 more points–more than twice the points!

With more than twice the points, you can have more vacations, or you could upgrade your accommodations to something larger. For 375 points, you could have a weeklong stay in a Two Bedroom Villa for most travel periods or even a Three Bedroom Grand Villa during the two cheapest travel periods.

Bottom line: Buying an Old Key West resale contract instead of a direct contract can save you tens of thousands of dollars or get you more than twice as many DVC points for longer stays or larger accommodations!
