Hi Ronald!
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney, and as a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member, let me extend to you a warm “welcome home!” I am so glad that you decided to stop by with your vacation question, and it would be my pleasure to help provide you with an answer.
How exciting for you to have an upcoming stay at
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa! It is my
Home Resort, so it has a special place in my heart. You will love being so close to the dining and entertainment of
Disney Springs. I understand why you want to visit
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to enjoy a quick-service meal at
The Mara. Unfortunately, at this time, you can only visit
Disney Resort hotels and Disney Vacation Club Resorts if you are visiting a registered Guest or if you have an advanced dining reservation. Since The Mara does not accept advance dining reservations, you will not be able to dine here unless you are staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Since you are at Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, you not only have the dining options available at the resort, but you will be a short walk away from some of the excellent dining options in Disney Springs. Some of my favorite quick-service restaurants in Disney Springs include
The Polite Pig,
AristoCrêpes, and
Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza.
I hope you have a wonderful stay at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa and an unforgettable vacation in
Walt Disney World! Please stop back by planDisney any time we can help answer your vacation questions.
