Disney Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

Disney Saratoga Springs Resort aims to offer more than a home feeling - the fine services in the villas and the Spa are designed to make visitors feel like being pampered at home.

Disney Saratoga Springs Resort is under construction presently. It has opened only a part of the villas, namely 184. Phase I of the resort was opened in May 2004.

Resort

Theme and atmosphere

It is considered a "Home Away From Home" resort.

After the villas in Phases II (announced to add 368 units at completion in 2005) and III will be opened, the resort will be the largest of the Disney Vacation Club Resorts (planned to reach a total of around 840 units).

The villas are themed as late 1800 upstate New York houses. The theming reminds of the real Saratoga famous horse racings and health centers.
