Hey there, Andrew! Welcome back to planDisney and let me offer you a warm Welcome Home! I'm so glad that you've stopped by with your
Disney Vacation Club question. It is SO exciting to be chatting with a new fellow Member! WOOHOO! Congratulations, my friend!
No matter how many times I stay at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, I am simply in awe of how serene and beautiful it is there. With the beautiful newly renovated rooms, the gorgeous grounds with lakes and fountains, and being within short walking distance to Disney Springs, Saratoga Springs is truly the perfect home away from home right in the middle of the magic.
I think you will be happy to hear that the Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa room refurbishment is complete, and it is absolutely gorgeous! Like Meg, I won't say I'm in love, but ... I
love how the beautiful enhancements stayed true to the Resort's historic Saratoga Springs theme with the modern farmhouse vibes with touches of wood, white, gold and geometric shapes. The gold and brown leather chandelier in the dining area may just be my favorite piece that brings in the horse-racing theme so beautifully. And of course, let's talk about the best part of the whole refurbishment ... the pull-down Murphy bed! Andrew, I could not agree more that the addition of these easy, convenient and comfy pull-down beds is nothing short of genius. It makes falling into bed after a day of playing in the parks a breeze!
Just be aware, Andrew, that while the room renovation at Saratoga Springs is complete, the High Rocks Springs Pool and On the Rocks Pool Bar will be closed for refurbishment from January 2023 through late March 2023. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries!" The Paddock Pool and the
other leisure pools will remain open. The Paddock Pool is actually my favorite pool at Saratoga Springs and one of my favorite pools in all of Walt Disney World Resort. The waterslide is oh-so-fun, and
The Paddock Grill is a hidden gem, making it easy to spend an entire Disney day here!
Andrew, I could not be happier for you and the achievement of your Disney bucket list goals. You certainly won't regret your decision! I am wishing you a lifetime of magical memories using your magical Membership. Please stop by any time with any vacation planning or DVC questions! In the beginning, I had a ton of questions, so, feel free to bring them here. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
