Allearsnet.com is reporting that Old Key West's Turtle Pond Pool and the Turtle Shack snack bar will be closed from January 14 to February 10, 2008.

On this day 16 years ago The Disney Vacation Club (Now Old Key West) officially opened its doors. 

MousePlanet.com's Mark Goldhaber had a few questions for DVC regarding the 15-year extension offer at Old Key West.  DVC wasn't particularly forthcoming with useful answers, but you can read the entire exchange HERE.

On Monday, September 24, 2007, DVC held a special meeting at Disney's Contemporary Resort to discuss and ultimately vote upon the proposed 15-year contract extensions for owners at Old Key West.  Approximately 30-40 members were in attendance, including the DISBoards' "WebmasterJohn."  Following is an overview of the report he filed at the conclusion of the meeting.

Last week we reported on the possibility of DVC offering 15-year contract extensions to owners at Old Key West resort.  DVC has since sent a member to its Cast Members summarizing its intentions.

Multiple sources are reporting that DVC is considering a plan under which owners at Disney’s Old Key West Resort would be given a one-time opportunity to extend their contracts from the current ending date of January 31, 2042 until January 31, 2057.  This information should be regarded as rumor at this time and the price DVC would charge for such an extension is entirely unknown.
