saratoga springs

I'm sending a friend to WDW for days on my points (her mother just passed after a long Illness). She wants me to add DDP, which she will pay for. Can I still add it on the phone with member services, and she can pay & activate it when she arrives? Been years since I dealt with DDP-i seem to...

Hi everyone, I just joined the waitlist for a Saratoga Springs Deluxe Studio for mid May (in a month) how likely do you think I am to get it? Thank you:)

Hi everyone! We are super looking forward to our trip in June! This is our family's first time staying in a 1BR at Saratoga Springs. I was just wondering how comfortable the 5th sleeper under the TV is? I'm only 5ft so I very much doubt my height will be a problem, but my little (but much...

I’ll be staying with my 5 year old twins for 15 days at Saratoga Springs, and I know for sure I’ll need to do laudry twice. I noticed at the resort’s map that laudry rooms can be quite far from some buildings. Has anyone stayed in a building close enough to go back and forth to the room between...

After securing Saratoga Springs as our SAP haven, I stumbled upon an intriguing term: Aulani Subsidized Contracts. These are rare finds where Disney itself partially subsidizes your annual dues, making them a cost-effective choice for members. Fortune favored me in the winter of 2019 when I...

I’m staying at Saratoga Springs in March. I’m a big fan of getting the refillable resort mugs and plan to do it this time. My only concern is that Saratoga is a big resort, and I’m not sure exactly where mug refill stations may be. I’ve had issues with this at Old Key West — the only places to...

I’ve been going to Disneyworld a few times a year for 10 years. I’m a Disneyland local. I’ve stayed at just about every Disney hotel (and a few offsite) and became a DVC member a few years ago. Here are my unfiltered thoughts on Disneyworld resort hotels. Hopefully this helps people planning...

My parents (67 and 62) and myself (29) will be traveling for 3 nights in early December, and are trying to decide which resort would be the best fit for us. We only plan to go to Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Disney Springs. I was looking at AOA (Cars Suites) or Riviera (1 Bedroom) for 2 showers...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a 150 point contract direct. I'm torn between OKW and SSR. We would rarely stay in studios. Prefer one and two bedroom villas. We have a 5 year old and 2 year old. I'm leaning towards OKW because of the availability charts. With the 11 month window I feel like I...

We are planning a WDW trip for next Spring, and are currently set to stay in a deluxe studio at SSR. However, we are considering changing to a deluxe studio at BLT, but keep reading about the size of the rooms and how small they are. There will be four of us on the trip--two adults and two...

I stayed at Saratoga Springs over this past weekend and was surprised that there was no boat service running to Disney Springs. Was also surprised to see that there was no boat service at all running in the Springs area. The boat service doesn't even show at all on the map I was given at...

Hello, SS is our home resort since 2004, but we had a really bad experience there early on and have avoided staying there ever since. One example, we were one of three families (with young kids) that got off the boat from then Downtown Disney one night in a torrential downpour. The door to the...

My fiance and I are planning a trip to WDW for our Honeymoon for end of March/early June 2022. Its our first time going to WDW so we have been doing a ton of research on where we want to stay. Saratoga Springs caught our eye because of how beautiful the recent renovations look in addition to the...

Does Disney Spring's have a bike rack to secure bicycles anywhere on the property? In July I am staying at SSR and would love to bike over for coffee in the morning, but don't want to walk it around or leave it unsecured while I am in line.

For our Welcome Home trip we're planning on 10 nights. My mother will be joining us for the first week and then it will be me plus 4 kids. I'd rather save points for next year than keep the extra space (I say that now from my computer but I know I may feel differently on site). The best...

I didn’t expect the comments to be so condescending! I was asking advice on point values, not my personal decisions! No more comments required. I don’t know how to delete.
