Welcome back to planDisney, Liza! We love to see a returning guest and I'm so excited to answer this question as I just got home from a quick stay at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
I love the subtle nod to Disney's favorite horses at this resort and you can't underestimate that convenient walk over to Disney Springs. On my last trip we took full advantage of being in the Congress Park section (
the closest to Disney Springs) and walked over to
Disney Springs for dinner one night and then for some early shopping another day.
Now, let's talk about the room refurbishments. If you haven't yet seen the newly reimagined rooms, let me tell you to hold onto your saddle because they are magNEIGHficent!
I just stayed in a 2-Bedroom Villa in the Congress Park section where all rooms are now refurbished. If you have booked a deluxe studio or villa in the "Preferred" category, I'm happy to report that the reimagining of all buildings in those two sections is complete. If you have booked a "Standard" room, I would encourage you to request The Paddock section as all buildings in that area are complete. Another option would be The Grandstand section as most rooms have gone through refurbishment. While requests aren't guaranteed, it always helps to let the Cast Member know that you'd like a newly refurbished room. To make this request, I recommend
calling a few weeks in advance!
Liza, I'll be hoping that Tinker Bell helps your request come through with a touch of pixie dust. Wishing you a stay at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa that is everything dreams are made of. Please come on back to planDisney with any other questions you might have.
Like Prince Philip's trusty steed, we are at the ready!
