Hello, Mary!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your question about Walt Disney World Resort transportation. It looks like you'll be visiting
The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a couple of short weeks - the countdown is on!
Get ready for an amazing stay at the Walt Disney World Resort, Mary.
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is one of my favorite Deluxe Villa Resorts and happens to be one of my family's
Disney Vacation Club Home Resorts! Its proximity to Disney Springs, calming and colorful buildings, and position on
Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course make this Deluxe Villa Resort appealing to visitors of all ages and stages. Mary, due to the size and layout of Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, several bus stops are conveniently located throughout this Deluxe Villa Resort. You'll find bus stops located at each Resort area: Congress Park, The Carousel, The Grandstand, The Paddock, and The Springs. (Guests staying at the Treehouse Villas must take an internal shuttle to The Springs area to access theme park transportation.) Buses stop at each Resort area before proceeding to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, including
EPCOT, so I encourage you to utilize whichever bus stop is closest to your Villa for the most convenient experience!
I can understand wanting to maximize your time at EPCOT, Mary. After all, you'll be visiting during the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival - the most beautiful time of the year! Did you know that Disney Resort hotel Guests can take advantage of
early theme park entry to enter the theme parks 30 minutes before they open? Bus transportation from Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa begins approximately 45 minutes before early theme park entry periods begin, so I encourage you to be at the bus stop bright and early to take advantage of this exclusive benefit! As a Guest of a Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, you'll also enjoy
extended evening hours on select nights, so be sure to check the
Hours & Events Calendar ahead of your visit!
Mary, I hope that you find this information helpful. I'm wishing you a most magical stay at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa! If you have any additional vacation planning questions, please stop back by planDisney again anytime. We're here to help you make the most of your time at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Magic awaits,
Lauren
