Saratoga Springs Resort & amp; Disney Spa is a Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World Resort. The resort is the seventh Disney Vacation Club resort and is located on the former Disney Institute site. It was first opened May 17, 2004 and was built in three phases. It is now the largest Disney Vacation Club resort. The resort is inspired by the city of Saratoga Springs, New York.
The 65-hectare resort was designed by Graham Gund Architects of Cambridge, Massachusetts. There are a total of 18 Villa Buildings that provide 828 Homes Holiday Units (1,260 guest rooms), plus an additional 60 Treehouse Villas.
- Phase 1: 4 The Villa building in a section called Congress Park opened with 184 Vacation House units (280 guest rooms) on May 17, 2004.
- Stage 2: 8 The two-part Villa building called The Springs and The Paddock opened in Spring 2005 finally added 368 Vacation Home Units (560 guest rooms).
- Stage 3: 6 The two-part Villa building called The Carousel and The Grandstand completed the final phase of this great resort in Summer 2007, adding 276 Vacation Home Units (420 guest rooms).
- Phase 4: Villa Treehouse built in natural forest glens with 60 three-bedroom homes opened on June 1, 2009. This stand-alone structure - 10 feet elevated from the ground on poles and beams - is located quietly in nature glowing along River Sassagoula.
Available rooms range from one-bedroom studios to three large family suite suites on two floors (Grand Villas). Like other Disney Vacation Club resorts, the studio offers a kitchenette, a bathroom, one queen bed and one sleeping sofa. Although this resort has one of the lowest costs for a villa on the property, the Springs area is now a major status, so prices are rising due to popularity. The popularity of this area is the result of its location, being one of the closest areas to the main lobby including two restaurants, the Artist Palette and The Turf Club Bar and Grill, and the main pool, the High Rock Spring pool.
In October 2007, the resort received an appointment in the Florida Green Lodging Program.
