Although it is a DVC resort, Disney also rents rooms as a deluxe resort, so hoping someone may have some photos to share. :)
Thanks much! :flower3:

Sure...I'm in DVC and stay there often. Just got back in fact...stayed there last week! Most of my shots are of the grounds, the buildings, the landscaping, and the views. Here's some of my Saratoga shots collection:

You're welcome, Minnie&Nana. Enjoy your stay - it's a very pretty resort, worth walking around in. And you can walk over to Marketplace from there too...which is very convenient when you want something to do in the evening!

You're welcome tink,too. Be sure to take advantage of the walkway to Marketplace, or enjoy the boat ride over. And you can also take the boat to Marketplace then hop the boat to Port Orleans French Quarter - a great boat ride and lovely resort to visit and walk through too. The connectivity to Downtoan Disney and four other resorts via boat and walkways is what makes Saratoga nice...and the big, sprawling grounds usually result in plenty of peace and quiet and plenty of places to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

It is really a great resort. We had a lot going on this past June for our first trip home, so we hardly took any pictures of the resort. I am going back in December and will take many, many more - plus I will get the Christmas shots and decorated rooms/balconies!

Thanks for the great photos. I've met a good friend on the Dis here and she has urged me to try the Saratoga Springs. After looking at these pictures, I just may have to do a split stay with the CSR on our visit next September.

SSR has really "grown" on us. We've stayed there the last several WDW visits and love it. We originally stayed there for our NON Disney trip a few summers ago but have really gotten to love it for our regular Disney visits.
IF there's any negative the only one I can think of is that we don't love the bus transportation but since we drive up from here we do have our car so we do use the car a lot.
We find the grounds and the accommodations very cozy. Mousekeeping is great. We also like the main pool area and I love the work-out facilities when I have a chance to use them.:thumbsup2 When it's cooler out, I love being able to do my morning run through the resort and then across through DTD. It's really a nice perk having DTD across the way. The boat ride over there is fun as well.

We are scheduled to spend the last five nights of our Honeymoon here next month. I was a little worried since I've never been there before and wanted to be at an Epcot resort. But after seeing these pictures I won't worry about renewing the wait list. Thank you! I'm so excited to stay there now!!!

Thanks for all the beautiful pictures. We are AKL people but decided to stay in one of the 2 bedroom Villas this time for our June 2009 stay. I am the trip planner for the group and have been second guessing myself since in booked it last November. I have been driving myself crazy pricing offsite condos and the money it would save everyone (even with the 7/4 deal) but the pictures have put me at ease. Thanks again everyone:worship:

DH, his parents, and I will be staying at this resort in November. Wow, the shot of the swans is absolutely stunning! I remember seeing some other pics with them in the lake, thanks for sharing this one!

Beautiful pictures. I am torn and maybe you all can help. We will be going Dec. 25-Jan. 2 and I can either stay at a 1 BR Villa at SSR or a regular room in the Garden Wing (not main tower) at the Contemporary. I am afraid with the crowds the monorail will be the way to go, but being a horse girl, and loving the look of SSR, I'm not sure what to do now? I'm afraid to rely mainly on the buses during such a crazy busy week there. Can you help?

There are small drawing easels on various tables around AP. Kids (or kids at heart!) can draw a picture on them and hang them in the entry way to AP. It was always fun to see what the "featured art" was each time we walked into AP.

This is our home resort and we've stayed here 3 times. It's beautiful and I can't say enough about it. I love the gym a lot. We like to stay in the Paddock and walk accross the bridge to the main building with the big pool and community center.
We leave in 1 day and these pictures are making me so homesick. Can't wait to get there.

Did you stay in both a studio and a 1BR? Now I need to read your trip report.

No problem! Both DH and I are shutterbugs. :goodvibes
We did stay in both a 1 bed and a Studio - the majority of the stay was in the 1 bed, just one night in the Studio.
I forgot to post it earlier, but I also did a video tour of the 1 bed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bHso9NeUB0
There are some comments on my TR about the resort, and more pics. The walk to DTD from Congress Park is fantastic. The views along the waters edge is beautiful. It really is a stunning resort. I wasn't too fond of the HIKE from Congress Park to the Carriage House (esp since a couple days I ended up doing it several times!), but if you are aware of that and prepare for it (and the weather will be warmer!), it's not so bad. :thumbsup2
I cannot say enough good things about Studio #1301. STUNNING views, very fresh and bright - we liked it better than the 1 bed in some ways!

This is a post I made in 2007 over in the DVC boards I just copied it.
Just got back from SSR the resort was very beautiful! The only thing i have to complain about is that the pullout bed was as hard as a ROCK! and they only gave you a sheet and thin blanket i gave my kids our comforter.
Here our some pictures of the resort:

Gorgeous pictures, everyone! We are DVC members and SSR is our home resort...but on our past few trips we've been lucky enough to stay at some of the other DVC resorts: AKL, BCV, and VWL in a couple weeks! We have reservations Saratoga Springs for next April. All of these pictures are making me soooo excited to go back! They remind me of how much I love it there. :goodvibes

First, thanks to all for the wonderful photos!
We're staying in a 1BR in September, and I'm wondering which building to request. We've requested a ground floor room, and would really like a peaceful, private nature view. Is that possible in the 1 BRs?
And what buildings are the 1 BRs in? And are they all non-smoking? Anything else important to request?

We recieved the free upgrade to SSR from POP! Our stay was September 20-26.
We left IL and drove through the night and arrived at SSR around 10:15 AM. We checked in online 10 days prior. Check in at the resort took about 10 minutes. Our room was not ready. They gave us all our paperwork and maps and told us we would be in Congress Park in building ____. I was super excited it was the building we had requested! They said they would send us a text message when our room was ready.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/baerstaci/DSC06923-1.jpg
So we drove over and parked at our building and headed to DTD for some shopping and lunch.
Our building as seen from DTD! Do I look a little sleepy?

We recieved the text message that our room was ready at 11:47 AM! WOO HOO!

I loved the big shower! I liked being able to wash a load or two of laundry every night! The grounds are beautiful! I walked around and took pictures of everything. Funny, I never saw the Mickey head on the shingles. LOVE IT!
I went swimming every afternoon and evening.
Wasnt crazy about Artist Point tho.

We stayed in a one bedroom in the Grandstand section in May and loved it. It was our first time staying at SSR and we were not disappointed. The grounds were immaculate and the walk to DTD in the evening was great - so beautiful.

As prospective DVC buyers, I've been doing my research. Until yesteday, this place wasn't even on my radar. But a few people's posts I read yesterday saying the same thing attracted my attention. So I found this thread.
A: THANK YOU to everyone that has talked about and most importantly SHOWN those gorgeous photos! Holy cow! :goodvibes
B: And brookelizabeth, your video was SO good and your DS, OMG! He was SO DANGED CUTE!!!! That happy squeal is like the voice of angels! I LOVE happy toddler squeals! THANK YOU for letting us hear it! :lovestruc:lovestruc:lovestruc
I'm being swayed...oh yes, I'm being swayed! :rotfl: Too bad we're not staying there when we go but I WILL be touring! I'll bring my camera!
THANK YOU ALL! :grouphug:
No problem! Both DH and I are shutterbugs. :goodvibes
We did stay in both a 1 bed and a Studio - the majority of the stay was in the 1 bed, just one night in the Studio.
I forgot to post it earlier, but I also did a video tour of the 1 bed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bHso9NeUB0
There are some comments on my TR about the resort, and more pics. The walk to DTD from Congress Park is fantastic. The views along the waters edge is beautiful. It really is a stunning resort. I wasn't too fond of the HIKE from Congress Park to the Carriage House (esp since a couple days I ended up doing it several times!), but if you are aware of that and prepare for it (and the weather will be warmer!), it's not so bad. :thumbsup2
I cannot say enough good things about Studio #1301. STUNNING views, very fresh and bright - we liked it better than the 1 bed in some ways!

Here are a few of our 1br we had back in Jan '09. SSR is a very beautiful resort, this was our first stay as DVC members. This is in "The Springs" section, looking left out our balcony you could see the bus stop.

Although it is a DVC resort, Disney also rents rooms as a deluxe resort, so hoping someone may have some photos to share. :)
Thanks much! :flower3:http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy288/njdisneytrip/16.jpg?t=1257738561
