Hey there, Karen! Welcome to planDisney! I’m so excited that you’ve stopped by with your vacation planning question!
After just one more sleep, you’ll be arriving to
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, ready to begin your magical adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth! You must be SO excited! I actually just returned home from a fabulous stay at Saratoga Springs, and no matter how many times I stay there, I just can’t seem to get over the serenity and beauty of this
Disney Vacation Club Resort! I love just strolling or biking around the grounds, taking it all in. One fun way to do that and join in on the
50th Anniversary Celebration is to take part in an oh-so-fun Magic Kingdom Attractions Scavenger Hunt around the Resort. That's just one of the many
recreation offerings and Resort activities at this amazing Resort, and with the endless list of nearby dining options and being in walking distance to Disney Springs, Saratoga Springs really is the perfect peaceful escape right in the middle of the magic.
In order for your magical stay to begin, we have to get you there first! So, let’s discuss some options for you to get from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to your home away from home. The first option is to reserve a ride with Mears Connect (either the standard service or the express service) by going to their website and following the instructions. Their standard service looks similar to the retired Disney's Magical Express service, so if you have taken that magical ride before, this will seem familiar. The standard service is priced per person, and since I have a small family of three and we enjoy the excitement of sharing a bus ride with fellow antsy Disney-goers, this is my preferred method of transportation. However, if you would prefer more private transportation with a non-stop route directly to Saratoga Springs, you can take a taxi or use one of the app-based rideshare services, such as Uber or Lyft. If you'd prefer to have a car with you on your magical vacation, there are also car rental services at the airport. If you are a Disney Vacation Club Member and/or staying at Saratoga Springs on Vacation Points, you can park your rental car for free!
Once you have arrived at Walt Disney World Resort, you won't have to worry about transportation at all! Enjoy the easy and complimentary bus transportation to and from Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and all of the theme parks and Disney Springs!
Karen, while you are enjoying your magical home away from home, be sure to stop into
The Artist's Palette for one of their adorably creative cupcakes or delicious pastries! YUM!
Karen, safe travels! I'm wishing you THE most pixie-dusted adventure! Stop by any time with any of your planning questions!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
