Happy Bianca Day! Also thanks alot for the Harry Potter tumbler Dev for last February's giveaway! Currently using it for butter beer. I really appreciate it buddy.
We had a 5-night stay in a 1 Bedroom Villa just like yours at Saratoga Springs in May of 2024. We fell in love with the resort! We've stayed at OKW and Boardwalk before, which we also enjoyed, but the room at Saratoga felt so luxurious. We had a gorgeous view, and it was about a 15 minute pleasant walk to Disney Springs from the Paddock area. That walk went from pleasant to magical at night. I almost dont want to rave and because Saratoga is still sort of a little secret. 😊 The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is amazing, the pools are just the best, and we can't wait to stay here again! Thanks Dev! And sorry about your little mishap!
Happy Birthday Bianca. I really hope you had the best and blessed birthday. God Bless 🙏 That drone show was amazing, they should put that in every park. Thank you for sharing with us
I stayed there back in the 90’s when the Disney Institute was there. As a teenager at the time I was able to take animation, cooking, topiary, television production, rock wall climbing classes. It was the BEST. There was also a restaurant, I think it was called seasons, and it was family style with others…big round tables that sat 12-14 guests with lazy Susan in the middle. I just remember the food being super tasty and fresh. I’ve been back a couple times and always go to the Senses Spa…but I think it’s currently closed.
Great vid bro 😎 fall season is upon us and that means I’ll be binging Disney videos and planning vacations I can’t afford. Would love to see some resort tours (I know you probably hate that) but honestly it’s those videos that NEVER get old 🤙🏽
Happy Birthday Bianca! Thank you for this video. It was the exact kind of walkthru that I was looking for. We were gifted a stay there and will be onsite in two weeks. I am super excited!
Happy Birthday Bianca! Great Pic. Beautiful resort. Also stay here during Christmas. It has a certain charm when you stay during the holidays. Love it.
Hi Dev, my husband and I are new DVC members and I just wanted to say we really appreciate videos like this. I am currently trying to book a Disney vacation with our points in April and it’s hard to decide what resort to choose from as we haven’t stayed in any besides animal kingdom last month before our Disney cruise. When I seen this video pop up we were so excited to watch because we knew it was going to be great informative content that’ll help us out. Thank you for all that you do I know it isn’t easy & Happy Birthday Bianca 🙂
My family loves this deluxe villa resort!! It is our go to for long stays. Love being close to Disney Springs and the fact that the resort is pretty quiet.
Happy Birthday Bianca!! I really enjoy your resort videos!! You and Bianca do an excellent job these videos! The drone show looked amazing! I really hope Disney brings it back. Great video
Dev, We recently stayed at Saratoga Springs in a one bedroom villa and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are very spacious and well laid out. We have been DVC members for 20 years. Each resort at Disney World has unique offerings. We really like Copper Creek villas. It is quiet and has great walks. Easy to get to all the parks and the rooms are outstanding. The big difference between DVC villas are regular Disney rooms is the kitchen. The kitchens allow you to get food and drinks delivered directly to the hotel. Because all the villas come with a large fridge, you can have a weeks works of groceries. Cuts down on costs and really enhances the vacation.
Belated Happy Birthday Bianca!!! Yes Dev, we have stayed at SSR (our home resort) my husband’s favorite Home Resort of the 2 we have mostly the proximity to Disney Springs.
Saratoga Springs is my home resort we love the resort. Also being close to Disney Springs. Also we have stayed 3 times in the Treehouse.Hope Bianca had a wonderful birthday
My family and I have switched from Disney to Universal. We get much more for our money at Universal, and there are many more thrill rides. We can't wait to visit again next year when Epic Universe opens
Thanks for sharing your visit and HBD Bianca! Saratoga Springs is one of my favorite resorts! I love the villas, theming and beautiful walkways and taking the boat ride. Nice view of Disney Dreams That Soar! ✨️
Saratoga room I stayed at was very quiet and had a nice layout. Animal kingdom still my favorite and home. I do appreciate the other locations. Thanks for sharing!
Saratoga Springs is one of the better resorts for DVC members. Was there this Labor Day weekend and haven’t been staying there since 2018 and dam, missed how it was like with the nice balcony and walking distance to Disney Springs. Fortunately I’m staying at Saratoga Springs again on the 13th-15th for one of my best friend’s birthday and doing HHN that weekend too.
Happy birthday Bianca 🎉 we are dvc ..this is our home resort. Absolutely love it for stay vacations no parks time. So much to do and close to Disney springs..so relaxing but can’t wait for spa to open again . We stay at other dvc resorts for park days closer to parks .
Again, I like to say thank you for your videos. They are very informative. I wish I could make these theme parks, but because I have a slight condition and it is expensive and crowded there and not able to afford it but again through your videos, I get a glimpse of what I’m missing. Thank you, you should have a raffle for free stay at one of these hotels to enjoy something like that for seniors or disability just suggestion
Great review, I was left tempted to give it a try next trip. But it is a deluxe resort not a moderate so it gets those deluxe perks, but fora better price than other deluxes.
Happy Birthday Bianca! We love staying at Saratoga Springs! The first time we stayed there, there was only 1 section open by the water. They were still building the rest of the resort!
My wife and I spent whole week at sartoga springs in a one bedroom and will never ever stay in anything less and had the most relaxing time there than any other dvc in a villa and I don’t understand why people hate on sartoga springs I tell people don’t sleep on and we love the close proximity to Disney springs
I’m glad to hear that and I completely agree! We have had such a great time here and the fact that you can walk to Disney springs in 5 minutes is the cherry on top!
Saratoga Springs is one of the best relaxing resorts on property! The 2 bdrm villa is so spacious! Wishing Bianca a wonderful and blessed Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎂🎉❤️
Sarasota is one of my home resorts. My family and I like walking to the Springs, love the Turf Club and Artist Pallette. Having been to Saratoga Springs in New York, I am disappointed in the architecture. The buildings look like paddocks ( stables). In Saratoga, NY the buildings are Victorian with gingerbread trim. The Disney artists could have added those touchs to the buildings to look unique. I do like the renovations with the Murphy beds. So much more comfortable than the sofa beds. While my family likes Old Key West best, we like Saratoga because family members that need scooters have access to elevators in all buildings. The pools are nice. The smaller ones are mire quiet and have snack bars so you can use your walk ups on the dining plan as you sunbathe and the food is diverse with soda fountains open for drinks. You can't go wrong with this resort. Sorry to hear the spa is closed. I always enjoyed a massage and/or pedicure. The relaxation room was so peaceful and the whirlpool bath was a bonus.
When SS first opened I stayed there and was not a fan. It was too sprawling and took the bus forever to get to our stop. However, many years later, it became one of my favorite resorts. I love being able to walk to Disney Springs for a morning treat and watching the turkey's on the grounds in the early mornings.
We stayed on the Paddock side, close to the pool during Memorial Day week 2015. Our place was dated but I'm glad yours was updated. Highly recommend Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa.
We've been DVC members at Saratoga Springs for over 17 years. We absolutely love it. It's our favorite resort. The pictures over the king bed are vintage photos of the real Saratoga Springs NY with the characters added in. We almost always stay in The Grandstand. I do love a fairway view.
I've stayed there many times and I love it. My favorite is the Poly, and Beach Club, I only go every three years. I'll divide my time between all three resorts. That way, my only bus trip is to Animal Kingdom.
We’ve stayed at SSR twice. I didn’t think much of it the first time. It was a few years back when my son was a baby. It was a last minute extended weekend trip and it was the only available studio room. I’m not sure why I booked it again about 3 years ago but this time we had a 1br for a week and we enjoyed it much more. I think we stayed in the same building you did. It was great being so close to the pool and splash pad area with 3 kids under 10.
Happy Birthday Bianca 🎂🎉🎉. My family stayed in Saratoga and my sons 21&24 stayed at the park late. They called me at 1am to tell me they were lost ON THE RESORT 😂😂. I told them they’ll be alright and went back to sleep😂
I’ve been a DVC member since 2002 and have stayed at Saratoga Springs on three separate stays. Although it is a beautiful resort, my chances of a stay there again are slim. Every single stay, someone in the family has gotten sick. Including my son getting pneumonia one time. The HVAC system in the buildings closest to Disney Springs needs to be completely cleaned. I have photos of dust filled grates and vents from a stay at the Congress Park villas. Have also stayed at the Paddock and the Grandstand, the Paddock was by far the cleanest with the HVAC, but still had dusty (as it was caked on) vent grates. Not sure if this was addressed in the refurbishment, didn’t really notice in your video. The rooms do look a heck of a lot better than my last visit which was back in 2017. Of all the DVC properties, the one I have the most experience with it the Boardwalk Villas. Over the years I watched the resort being built as I used to stay directly across the lake at Disney’s Yacht Club prior to purchasing DVC. My family and I have stayed at every DVC resort on Walt Disney World property (except the Polynesian) and also Hilton Head Island Resort. I can recommend staying at Boardwalk, Old Key West, Beach Club, Grand Floridian, and Riviera. All are fine resorts and other than Old Key West are extremely convenient to a theme park. The Wilderness Lodge is a great resort, but transportation to the theme parks takes a while. The same applies to Animal Kingdom Lodge. Both are great for vacationing outside the theme parks. Old Key West probably has the most spacious rooms of all the DVC properties, but is out of the way and transportation is a bit slow due to the many stops (like Saratoga Springs) within the resort. It is another great spot away from the theme parks. Looking to move back to Orlando within the next five years, so this will probably end up being more for visitors…or I could get “add-on itis” as the folks over at the DVC Show say. We’ll see.
I’m a DVC member and I’ve stayed at Saratoga Springs several times, in both the old rooms and the new refurbished rooms (which are incredibly nice), but being from the Northeast, I’d rather stay somewhere with a more tropical feel when I’m on vacation. Saratoga Springs is only one of two Disney resorts that has no palm trees (the other being Wilderness Lodge). So I generally stay at Saratoga Springs when there is no DVC availability elsewhere. Also, as an aside, Artist’s Palate has the best pizza on property.
Happy Birthday Bianca! HOpe you had an amazing time on your birthday staycation!! I love SS that is my home resort but if im not mistaken, all DVC properties are considered deluxe resorts.
I stayed here 2 years ago and my goodness it was like a ghost town there - me and a few others we got lost. We ended up in this area where there was tree houses, and bats at night over the golf course and we came across some area where the tree houses were that had a boat that took you to the springs, a humongous property, very peaceful and quiet but big
Happy Birthday Bianca 🎉. How was it for a lot of people . I think we would need 3 2 bedroom villas . Do you know if those are renovated ? Looks like you had a great time .
I believe just about every room here has been renovated. It’s been great for 2 adults and one child plus we have had people over and it’s still more than enough room.
For the record, Saratoga Springs is a Deluxe resort and gets the Deluxe Resort perks.
Happy Bianca Day! Also thanks alot for the Harry Potter tumbler Dev for last February's giveaway! Currently using it for butter beer. I really appreciate it buddy.

We've stayed there the most out of any DVC resorts. We love it for more chilled vacations. We like being able to walk to Disney Springs.
My family and I have switched from Disney to Universal. We get much more for our money at Universal, and there are many more thrill rides. We can't wait to visit again next year when Epic Universe opens

Happy Birthday! We are doing a split stay between Yacht Club and Saratoga next month, first time at both resorts. We can't wait!
Great review, I was left tempted to give it a try next trip. But it is a deluxe resort not a moderate so it gets those deluxe perks, but fora better price than other deluxes.
Oh man. I love the room. BUT it’s exactly the same as my beach club room. Wish these dvc rooms had their own personality
Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday lady B
happy birthday biana
Happy Birthday Bianca! We love staying at Saratoga Springs! The first time we stayed there, there was only 1 section open by the water. They were still building the rest of the resort!
I stayed there a few years ago for the 4th. We had the one bedroom villa. It is beautiful.

We love the Paddock area. It has a great pool area with a decent selection of food so we didn't need to go to the main food court.

I stay there all the time it’s great and close to Disney springs
The spa pre covid was always busy , same as the garden tea room at grand Floridian and both never reopened after covid , I was gutted and still am !
Also i. Agree the grounds are immaculate I also think there better that grand flows groind
Happy Birthday Bianca 🎂🎉🎉. My family stayed in Saratoga and my sons 21&24 stayed at the park late. They called me at 1am to tell me they were lost ON THE RESORT 😂😂. I told them they’ll be alright and went back to sleep😂
My husband and I are here at SS now! It’s very nice. We are in the Paddocks.
Staying at Saratoga in May ! Would suggest trying out bay lake you and Bianca would love it!! The dvc rooms are so nice
We are DVC for AKL but couldn’t get 12 nights last minute. Did SSR. Absolutely loved it.

Great video! Has something changed with Saratoga Springs recently? When we stayed there in June 2024 it was a deluxe resort.
It’s still a deluxe resort I just made a mistake.
