Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

Overview

Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is the largest Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World, spanning approximately 828 acres and encompassing thousands of DVC villa units spread across multiple distinct neighborhoods. Opened in 2004, Saratoga Springs draws its inspiration from the historic resort town of Saratoga Springs, New York — a gilded-age destination famous for its thoroughbred horse racing, mineral spring baths, and Victorian resort elegance.

The resort's architecture echoes that upstate New York heritage: Victorian gingerbread details, clapboard facades, turrets, wide verandas, and the kind of manicured, formal landscaping you'd expect from a 19th-century resort town. The color palette shifts through soft creams, greens, and burgundies — a welcome breath of stately Northeastern air in the middle of Central Florida.

Saratoga Springs sits directly adjacent to Disney Springs, connected by a scenic boat launch across the resort's central lake. This proximity makes it the ideal resort for guests who plan to spend significant time shopping, dining, or enjoying entertainment at Disney Springs — or who simply want a quieter, more resort-focused Disney vacation close to the action but away from the theme park crowds.

Treehouse Villa (Sleeps 9)

Saratoga Springs' most distinctive accommodation — the Treehouse Villas are a collection of elevated two-bedroom, three-bathroom units set among the resort's wooded sections, raised on stilts above the forest floor for a genuine treetop perspective. Features two bedrooms, a den with a sleeper sofa, a full kitchen, and private deck. These unique accommodations are a beloved alternative for guests who want something completely different.

Point requirements vary by room type and season. Saratoga Springs generally offers competitive point costs relative to its villa size. Contact DVC Rental Club for current pricing.

Location & Transportation

Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is located adjacent to Disney Springs in the Disney Springs Resort Area of Walt Disney World. The Congress Park section of the resort is within easy walking distance of Disney Springs, and a scenic boat launch operates across the central lake. The resort is on the far side of Disney property from Magic Kingdom, so plan on a bus ride (typically 20–30 minutes) to reach the parks.

Complimentary bus service connects all sections of the resort to all four theme parks and Disney Springs throughout the day. Due to the resort's large footprint, internal resort buses circulate between neighborhoods. Self-parking is complimentary for resort guests. The resort is approximately 25 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO).
