Review: Olivia’s Cafe Brunch – Walt Disney World’s Old Key West DVC Resort

March 4, 2019 · In: Disney World, Travel

Hey y’all! I got a ton of great feedback about last week’s food review. So I decided to do another today! Grant and I recently ate at Olivia’s Cafe for brunch at Disney’s Old Key West Resort during Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. I had been before a few times, but not in the past 10 years or so, and it was Grant’s first time. We made reservations on a whim the day before. I am so glad we did, because it was DELICIOUS!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Disney’s hotels, Old Key West was the first ever Disney Vacation Club Resort and opened in 1991. I’ve stayed here numerous times throughout the years, since my family is DVC, and it is such a great resort! The rooms are HUGE (the biggest on property), there’s beautiful golf course views, a great pool, and it feels secluded. If you couldn’t tell by the name the resort is themed off of the Florida Keys, so you can expect a nautical, beach-like, colorful vibe. If you ever get the chance to stay there, I highly recommend it.

Olivia’s itself is very small, as is the shared “communal” areas at this resort. Everything the guests need is located in the same area; restaurants, the pool, ferry to Disney Springs, bus stops, lobby, etc. Olivia’s is located right across from the lobby.

When you walk in it is cozy and walls are covered with pictures of DVC members and their families, which I think is awesome! As you keep going nautical decor cover the walls and accent paddle fans cover the ceiling. Again, this is one of the smaller Disney restaurants and while large groups are welcome at all Disney dining, it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Let’s get into what’s important, THE FOOD! Keep in mind Grant and I went on a Saturday and got brunch, which is only available on the weekends. They basically just have selections from their breakfast and lunch menus. So this is great if everyone is craving something different. You can check out Olivia’s menu HERE.

I had my eye on the Southernmost Buttermilk Chicken before we even got there, so that’s what I ended up getting. When I ordered the waitress said “Good, that’s the best thing on the menu!” And let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! I’m not a huge fried chicken person since it tends to be soggy. But this was amazing! It was crunchy and the breast was tender, yes it was a chicken breast! No bones involved. Topped with southern gravy (white gravy, think country fried steak), green beans, and mashed potatoes (the site says a biscuit as well? I didn’t get one lol.). I was not at all disappointed. The mashed potatoes had the skin, so I was uneasy about that. But they ended up being delicious. And the green beans were fresh and crunchy. For $20 I was definitely impressed.

Grant decided on the steak with pommes frites. There was also a salad on the side as well. It was only $25, so a great deal for a steak! It obviously wasn’t California Grill level. But for the price, it was great! The portions at Olivia’s were great as well.

We unfortunately didn’t try any appetizers or desserts. We went the afternoon of the 10K and had already had breakfast so we weren’t hungry enough. But we will definitely be back and try some at some point!

Overall, I cannot recommend Olivia’s enough! The service was great, the food was delicious, and all for a fair price. Truly a hidden gem at Walt Disney World. Every entree on the brunch menu was between $14-$25, making it pretty affordable for a Disney sit-down restaurant. And at the time of writing this Olivia’s does give an Annual Pass discount.

If y’all have any more questions about Olivia’s or any other Disney restaurant, feel free to comment down below or connect with me on social media @TheNorthernPrepster.

Thanks for reading!

xoxo
Jayme

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫

(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
