Hi Pamela,
Welcome to planDisney! How wonderful you'll be enjoying a stay at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa this summer, you will love it! I love the resort's location; staying within walking distance of the path that links Saratoga Springs' Congress Park section to
Disney Springs Marketplace is so convenient (especially if you're like me and love to get a late-night ice cream sundae at
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop!). Guests can also use
Walt Disney World Water Transportation, relax and enjoy the scenery while floating along the Sassagoula River to Disney Springs' boat launch.
Pamela, pool hopping at other resorts has been suspended for some time now but I do have some good news. Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa has not one but
two incredible feature pools with amazing water slides! High Rock Spring Pool is a large pool with waterfalls, zero-depth entry and a 128-foot-long waterslide nestled right into the rocks. This pool has 2 whirlpool spas nearby and there is a mini waterslide and bubbling jets at the Donald Duck play area. High Rock Spring Pool is adjacent to the Carriage House and is directly across from the Springs bus stop.
The Paddock Pool is also a zero-depth entry point pool with a 146-foot-long waterslide that begins at the top of a water tower. This pool also has mini waterslides and an aquatic play area. My kids love the zero-depth entry point pools so they can sit, chill and still be in the pool.
If you're looking for a quieter pool, there are 3: Treehouse Villas, Congress Park and The Grandstand (Congress Park and The Grandstand have children's playgrounds) and each has a whirlpool spa.
As you can see, if you're looking for a variety of pools, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa provides its Guests with many options! All pools have complimentary towels and if you're travelling with small children, complimentary lifejackets can be requested if there are none at the pool.
I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning, Pamela. Please revisit
planDisney if you have any other questions!
See ya real soon,
Candace
