Hey there, John! Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so happy to see you here with another great vacation planning question!
In just days, you'll be arriving at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, ready to begin your magical adventure at
The Most Magical Place on Earth! How exciting! No matter how many times I stay at this fabulous Resort, I am always in awe of the serenity and beauty of the Resort, the grounds, lakes, fountains and the newly renovated rooms. Being within short walking distance to
Disney Springs makes this Resort the perfect pixie-dusted home away from home right in the middle of the magic. Let's chat about how we can get this magical
Disney Vacation Club stay linked to your My Disney Experience account.
After booking your DVC Resort reservation through RCI, you should have received an email from Disney Vacation Club with your DVC reservation number and information. Once you have the reservation number, log in to your account on the
My Disney Experience website and click "Link a Reservation" under the Resort Hotel icon. Enter your reservation number and the last name on the reservation to link the Resort reservation and the Guests.
Oftentimes, RCI will only put one Guest's name on the reservation, so, if this is the case,
call Disney Vacation Club Member Services to add any other Guests to the reservation. I find that it is easier to do this step of adding all of your Guests before linking your Resort reservation to your My Disney Experience account.
If you did not receive an email from Disney Vacation Club,
call DVC Member Services and provide the oh-so-helpful Cast Member with your name, dates of travel and Resort to obtain your reservation number and start the linking process. Let the magic begin!
John, make sure that you make
Theme Park Pass reservations for everyone in your party for each park day, as these are required for everyone to enter the theme parks. You can do this on the My Disney Experience website or app!
Did you know that you can
rent bikes from Horsing Around Rentals to take a leisurely ride around Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa?! This is one of my favorite Disney activities, and the trail at Saratoga Springs Resort is one of my favorites. The trail is just beautiful, and the views of Disney Springs from across Lake Buena Vista simply cannot be beaten. The trail stays true to the Resort's horse racing theme by being measured and marked in furlong, instead of miles. How cool is that?!
I hope this was helpful, John, and I hope you have THE most memorable upcoming vacation! Enjoy every magical moment, my friend. Stop by any time with any vacation planning questions you may have. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
