Resort Showcase – Disney’s Saratoga Springs
Inspired by the posh retreats of upstate New York, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort features fresh colors and Victorian-era architecture.
Walking onto the property of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, you’re welcomed by preppy vibes and Victorian-style architecture.
Opened in 2004, the Deluxe Disney Vacation Club resort is themed after the equestrian history of upstate New York. Pastel buildings, clean lines and refined details are sewn throughout the more than 1200 guestrooms and common areas.
Common spaces are splashed with colorful details, while many guestrooms have been refurbished with neutral tones and fresh materials.
Saratoga Springs is set along the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course, and conveniently just across the lake from Disney Springs. It’s one of the largest resorts on property, with guestrooms spread across five neighborhoods: The Carousel, The Grandstand, The Paddock, The Springs and Congress Park.
The resort is also home to an especially charming way to stay on Disney property, the Treehouse Villas – elevated, three-bedroom private buildings nestled among the trees.
Rooms
Equestrian-themed details are thoughtfully peppered in the decor and dining.
Guests can choose from Deluxe Studios or 1-, 2- and 3-Bedroom Villas.
Deluxe Studios sleep up to four adults across one Queen bed and a Double-sized pull down.
One-bedroom Villas sleep up to five adults, with a King Bed, Queen-sized pull down and a Twin-sized pull down.
Two-bedroom Villas can accommodate up to nine adults across one King bed, two Queen beds, as well as a Queen and Twin pull down.
Bigger groups of up to 12 adults can opt for a 3-bedroom Grand Villa. These villas come outfitted with a King bed, four Queen beds, and a Queen-sized pull down.
All guestrooms have a Preferred option, bringing you closer to Disney Springs or the main Carriage House, and may come with a combination of views ranging from gardens to pools, woodlands or water.
Treehouse Villas stand independently, and sleep up to nine adults across two Queen beds, a Queen sleeper, one bunk bed and a Twin sleeper chair.
Amenities
As a Deluxe DVC resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs is one of the most comforting by way of amenities. Make vacation life even easier with toasters, microwaves, irons, beverage coolers, coffee makers and soaker tubs. Upgrade to a villa and level up those comforts with a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and luxurious whirlpool tub.
After a long day at the parks, come “home” and cool off by one of the five pools at Saratoga Springs.
The High Rock Spring Pool is outfitted with waterfalls, waterslide and two whirlpool spas, as well as a splash pad and mini-waterslide for the little ones. High Rock Spring Pool is also home to poolside activities like pool parties, trivia and games.
The Paddock Pool comes with a nearly-150-foot-long waterslide, two mini-waterslides and a whirlpool spa.
Both feature pools have zero-depth entries, plus their own poolside bars with light bites and refreshing drinks.
Three additional leisure pools are sprinkled around the grounds at the Treehouse Villas, Congress Park and Grandstand areas.
