Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

Saratoga Springs resort definitely caters to families, and makes a Disney stay very enjoyable. Rooms were spacious, with plenty of amentities. Our family of four was very comfortable with ample room. Full kitchens were a definite plus, especially with children along. The pools (both the large children's pool with water slide and the smaller, quieter pools) were very refreshing, with lots of chairs and some shaded areas. By far this is one of the nicest resorts in the Disney complex.

Very comfortable. This is a big resort. The pool is great (one long water slide and one shorter one). Be prepared to walk to main pool area and food court if you are in a far villa. East to catch bus to Disney locations.

The Saratoga was a beautiful property just one block from Downtown Disney and therefore close to all restaurants and gift shops. We had just a limited time in Orlando (two nights), so that made this amenity a great value. We spent a few hours there the night we arrived, and then a few hours the day we left. Certainly manageable with little ones. And satisfying for older kids. That left our one full day at WDW MK, full without rushing through gift shops for momentos. The Saratoga's rooms were exceptional in that the pull out sofa which normally would spell back aches for anyone over 100 pounds was a unique design in that it pulled out like a jack knife murphy bed so there were no bars or springs just a firm board with a 7 or 8 inch foam on it. My husband (200#+) and I slept fine on it, since the TV was more in view from the Queen bed. Everything was clean and fresh upon arrival and they even had the room available early. And finally, the most important amenity, travel to and from the park was on time and comfortable!

The rooms here are very nice and peaceful. The staff was very friendly as well. We were right around the corner from Downtown Disney and that was cool. The free shuttles to all the parks was an added bonus as well.

The pool was wonderful and we were able to use the pool after returning for the day, unlike some hotels that simply close the pool at a certain time. In the evening there was not a lifeguard present so you need to be aware of that; but that is so much nicer than not being able to use the pool at all. The gift shop was reasonably priced. We also felt all of the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic price, fantastic resort. Saratoga Springs really is top notch and being able to use Disney transportation was so great. We didn't use our car the 3 days we were there! Great for kids, adults, couples, families, everyone!

The resort cuts no corners. Great attention to details.

Almost everything about Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa was perfect. The only real drawback was the overall size of the place. I wish I'd had more time to take advantage of the resort's features...there's so much to do without ever leaving the property. My advice is to plan for some down time to take advantage of resort's activities.

we enjoyed the pool, game room, the location....across from downtown disney and our room was great. we will be staying here again. next time we are going to try and get a 1 or 2 bedroom villa so we can bring extended family as well, the studio was nice and perfect for us, our kids are small so the pullout sofa was great for them. the view from our room was great..and it was quiet, we never heard any noise from other guests. our kids are 2 and 4 and it was very kid friendly from the food choices to things to do at the resort

This hotel was excellent for our family of five! Fabulously clean, especially for an older property. Fun pool, with zero entry for the baby to play in and a water slide for other kids. Upon check-in, we were treated like royalty, lavishing the kids with stickers, tiaras and buttons and granting Mom and Dad a wonderful surprise of having a room available for a 9 am check-in. The property was gorgeous, albeit quite large. We were shuttled to our room, which although it was on the "older" side, more importantly was pristine! Our one bedroom villa actually had a door that closed off the bedroom from the sleeping area in the living room, allowing for different nap times and bed times. The washer and dryer were very convenient, allowing us to pack lightly. The kitchen was fully stocked, from silverware to dishwashing soap. Everyday the cleaning service would not only pick up our room, but also load any dishes into the dishwasher and clean the kitchen - allowing us to get up early and get to the parks. The hotel's shuttle service to other areas of Walt Disney World worked great. Only once did we wait more than 10 minutes. The only issue that prompted me to rate this hotel a four was the hotel's main line. We heard over and over, just dial Zero for help of any kind. Most of the time the hotel staff did not know the answer, or worse, gave us wrong information. Everything from, can you tell me where I am staying in the resort (it was a HUGE property), does the shuttle run after 10 pm, is there transportation back to the main lobby, child care services, dvd rentals...often times my husband and I would both call and get different answers. Other than that, this was a wonderful experience. Great hotel for families, with excellent accomodations.
