Key West could use a few of those Disney World “utilidors”
Disney World's Key West is not Key West. Though I understand how first-time visitors might find that confusing. Especially if they've tripped across the Disney World promotion videos for its Old Key West Resort. I mean Disney's Old Key West looks like, well, Key...

Chasing chickens and other Key West critters to discombobulate the unaware

We don’t have those cool “utilidors” that run underneath the Magic Kingdom so visitors don’t have to see the nasty stuff like trash hauling or cast members swearing because they’re late for work. We’re a packed-to-the-edges working island where everyone gets to see how we change our clothes and patch up our drawers.
