Hi Lisa!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa has a wonderful location, right next to
Disney Springs, so you’ll be close to a wide variety of shopping and dining! This resort also has two large feature pools so it’s a good choice for families who enjoy swimming.
Bus service runs approximately every 20 minutes, and for buses headed to a theme park, the first stop is The Grandstand, followed by The Carousel, The Paddock, Congress Park and finally The Springs. If you are headed to Disney Springs by bus, the route is usually the reverse. You can also take the boat or walk across the pedestrian bridge to Disney Springs.
I am super excited that a room refurbishment has begun at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa! While the photos I have seen are only proposed decor, the colors are light and bright and most excitedly feature a pull-down Murphy bed in the Deluxe Studios. To my knowledge, none of the refurbished rooms are available to stay in yet, but work has begun. Congress Park which is a “Preferred” location is currently being renovated. Disney has not released a plan or schedule for the refurbishment, so which buildings will be next would just be speculation, but the general thought is that the overall refurbishment will take approximately 2 years and that The Paddock area of the resort would be after Congress Park.
I hope this information is helpful as you plan your visit, and if you have any additional questions about Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, please let me know!
Have a Disney Day!
