Greetings, Michael, and welcome to planDisney. I'm so glad you found your way to our magical corner of the internet!
First of all, 14 nights at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa sounds like a dream come true. If you've been wishing on a star for a relaxing way to experience Walt Disney World, I'm happy to say you've found it! Saratoga Springs is such a charming and peaceful resort. I just love all those pastel-colored buildings and incredible water views! But of course, it's always fun to check out other resorts during your stay, so let's get into your question.
Michael, I understand that busing from
Disney Springs isn't your first choice - and due to a recent policy change, it's not a viable option anyway. As of now, Disney bus and boat transportation from Disney Springs is restricted to
Disney Resorts Collection hotel guests and guests with a valid dining or experience reservation at that resort.
So, what about
parking? While Disney resorts do offer temporary parking to guests with a dining or experience reservation, this unfortunately doesn't work for
Quick-Service Dining, since Quick-Service locations don't take reservations. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, Michael, but I do have a few suggestions!
One idea is to opt for a table-service meal instead. This would allow you to make an
Advance Dining Reservation and to park at the resort as a result. Some of my absolute favorite Disney World restaurants are located at Disney resorts (I'm looking at you,
Narcoossee's!), so this is also a great chance to explore other types of dining, like
character dining, Signature Dining, or even a
dinner show!
Of course, if you really have your heart set on a particular Quick-Service location, you can still get there by using a
Minnie Van™. Minnie Vans are available for an additional fee and can be booked through the Lyft app. I'm happy to report that accessible Minnie Vans are also available and that you can select this option during the booking process. Just click "Select Access. Minnie Van" and scroll through the vehicle type options until you find what you're looking for.
I hope this information is helpful, Michael, and that your upcoming visit is full of pixie dust and adventure! If you have any other questions as you finalize your plans, you know where to find me right here at planDisney!
Warm hugs,
Allison
