"Welcome home," Ellen and thanks for bringing your question to us here at planDisney!
Ellen, when I hear the words "Grand Villa" I can't help but start humming "
I've Got a Dream" from Tangled because... well, I've got a dream that some day very soon my family and I will enjoy the space and luxury of that
3-Bedroom option.
Since it looks like your dream is to enjoy a refurbished
3-Bedroom Grand Villa at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, hopefully I can help!
Ellen, I just confirmed with a Cast Member that currently work is ongoing and all Grand Villas have NOT been updated. The refurbishment began in the Congress Park area (which is the closest if you're hoping to walk to
Disney Springs) then moved on to The Springs. To ensure your Villa will be newly refurbished, I recommend booking your stay in the preferred category, if possible. After you have booked, I would also encourage you to call into
Disney Vacation Club Member Services and request a refurbished villa. While these requests can't be guaranteed, I always like to ask and have a note made on my account.
Ellen, I hope this helps as you are planning out your next stay. I'll be wishing on a star for you that your accommodations are brand new and you'll soon be channeling your inner Rapunzel when she exclaimed, "Best. Day. Ever!"
Please come back to planDisney with any other questions you might have. My fellow panelists and I love to help guests realize their own Happily Ever After.
Lauren
