We kind of want to be close to the pool, and monorail so the older kids can come and go as they please. We have never stayed there, so any advice is helpful. Thanks

Originally Posted By Dabob2 The lobby tower is the Fantasy tower, by the way. Certain rooms can view the fireworks in that tower (NOT pool view, as MDG says). You can also view fireworks from some rooms with DTD-view (NOT pool view) rooms in the Adventure tower.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Okay the last time i was there I happened to look up to the top floors and it seemed some of the rooms still have a balcony with the sliding doors.

Next time I visit I will check this out again and try to go up on the elevators.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Were there ever REAL balconies?

You could lean out the door against the railing but that was about it.

The ground floor patios at Old Key West are especially nice. The dense foliage surrounding them makes it easy to dispose of empty beer cans and dump your ash trays over the railing. ;-) ;-) LOL
