ChEARs Jessica!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is one of my family's favorite and most frequented Resorts! We love the wide-open spaces and fantastic amenities, but most of all, we love the proximity to
Disney Springs! A quick walk across a bridge puts you smack in the middle of the action.
Since you have
a little one and are visiting in the summer, I think a great place to start is
the pool! Pack swimming clothes (don't forget sunscreen and a baggie for after they are wet!) in your carry-on, and explore your options. The two feature pools at the Resort (The Paddock Pool and High Rock Spring Pool) have fantastic splash play areas. The Donald Duck play area accompanied by its miniature slide is a hit with my littles! There are also three leisure pools - at the Treehouse Villas, Congress Park, and The Grandstand. The last two have playgrounds, which was going to be my next suggestion! My
kiddos have spent hours swinging and sliding and meeting new friends at the Resort.
When you all are ready
to eat and shop, head to Disney Springs! We make an evening of the Food Trucks and a stop at
World of Disney and the LEGO Store.
The LEGO Store has a place where your little one can create their own legos, and they can even participate in LEGO Matchbox Derbys! Before you head back to the Resort, stop at
AristoCrepes. Their S' mores Crepe is divine!
Finally, for a bit of relaxation, consider a boat ride! There is complimentary
water transportation from
Disney Springs to
Disney's Old Key West Resort,
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside & French Quarter, and your Resort. We love to hop on one of the river boat routes and make a round trip. It is a beautiful and relaxing trip. There are also
Vintage Amphicar Tours at Disney Springs that are super fun. You can make a reservation in-person dockside or at
The BOATHOUSE BOATIQUE.
Jessica, I hope some of these options work for you! I wish you a magical vacation.
