Hi there, Lucas! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for sharing your question!
While I haven’t stayed at
Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, I have visited on my resort-hopping travels, and it’s a wonderful spot. I love the Victorian era-inspired decor and proximity to Disney Springs. I’m happy to report that all of the resort's bus stops—The Grandstand, The Carousel, The Paddock, The Springs, and Congress Park—can be used by anyone, not just hotel guests. This is also true for other resort bus stops that comprise Walt Disney World’s
complimentary bus system.
You should have no issue getting to EPCOT from Saratoga Springs, but make sure you have downloaded the
My Disney Experience mobile app to help you navigate your Walt Disney World adventure. The mobile app features step-by-step directions to most locations across the resort. Just search where you’d like to go, tap “Get Directions,” and then enter your starting location. At the time I’m writing this, the app says the total travel time from the Congress Park section of Saratoga Springs to EPCOT is 38 minutes.
Another great navigation feature on the My Disney Experience mobile app is that it will tell you all the available transportation options with travel times based on your starting point. While bus service is your only option from Saratoga Springs to EPCOT, other destinations might mean the monorail, water taxis, or skyliner gondolas are the quickest options. And remember, there is always the
Minnie Van service through Lyft if you need to get somewhere in a hurry.
Lucas, I hope this information helps with your vacation planning. Come right back if you have any more questions about your upcoming trip. Your planDisney pals are here to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
