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!!!

We just returned from our trip to SSR...You will love it. The layout of the buildings creates nice quiet relaxing place to take a scroll or play a round of golf.

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.

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:

View from our balcony on the 4th floor of Grandstand!

Just watched your video -- great job -- I really like the details you include, very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
(And also nice to see the unit "lived in" -- gives an idea of size, perspective, etc.).

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!

We headed back to the resort to take some pictures and a nap!:thumbsup2

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.

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

We are no dvc member, but booked the 1bdr villa for 7 nights in aug.
Is there every day cleaning/ beds are made up?
And do you get every day bath products ?

Seen the pictures we are very happy :banana:. Greet location!

There are 22 resorts on Walt Disney World property to choose from. They are broken down by category, with specific amenities associated with each category. There are 4 Value Resorts, 5 Moderate Resorts, 8 Deluxe Resorts and 6 Home Away From Home Resorts- something for every lifestyle and budget.

I have my suspicions as to whether the pics are for real or not. Somehow, I doubt it.

Seems odd that the poster just joined in November 2009, with only 6 posts, and post these pics. Something seems funny about it.

Not sure if those pics are real or not but if you look closely at the floor tiles and then look back at some of the bathroom pics the tiles color is a pretty good match. For example look at the toilet picture in post 112

We stayed in the Grandstand Sept '09 and LOVED it! It was VERY clean, we saw nothing that was in need of repair, or needed cleaning. We bounced back and are going again this Sept! I honestly cannot think of one negative thing about this resort. :cloud9:

Just a quick note...
The pictures in post 112 are mine and on our arrival day there was mold on the shower grout and door. It was gross and I prefer to not take pictures of that so I didn't. We left a nice tip for mousekeeping and it was taken care of and everything was cleaned. It might have just gotten overlooked the last time the room was cleaned.

If you look hard enough you can find things wrong everywhere...even at Disney. Best thing to do is not dwell on it, *nicely* bring it to someones attention and enjoy your stay at the happiest place on Earth! ;)

KLEONARD
12-30-2009, 07:25 PM
I think each Disney resort has a room or two that are left off the mousekeeping list. They are given to guests with attitudes at check in.
I doubt that my theory is true, but one can dream.

I don't have any photos, but I can tell you that SSR's doorways are outdoors. Because the resort is not styled as a hotel, the hallways aren't inside the buildings. However, not all of the hallways are facing the outside so they do not all have a view. :)

Only 14 x weeks to go........:banana::banana::banana:

Here's a couple more pic's - sorry they are all in the dark but it was the only time I had to actually take a look around - these were on the first morning - I tend to wake up really early on the first day due to the jet lag so I left the family in bed and went for a walk. We were only here for 5 x nights at Christmas - hope to spend a lot more time in the resort this year though.

Wow! Amazing photos! Thanks so much for posting. Problem is, now I miss my home! Our last stay was in Nov 2008 - Grand Villa (which was AWESOME!). We stayed at BCV in Feb. and will stay at AKV in Nov. My kids made me promise that "after that, we can go back to Saratoga Springs right!?!?!" Answer: YES! I am looking forward to trying something new...but I do love our SSR and look forward to coming home again!!

Does anyone have a preferred location that we should request?

06-16-2010, 04:26 PM
Everyone's got their favorites for different reasons. Some like to be by the main pool/building for access to that...so go with Springs section. Some like uber quiet and the first bus stop...so go with Grandstand section. Some like close walking access to Downtown Disney...so go with Congress Park section. I don't usually hear of any special request reasons to get the Springs or Paddock sections - not that there's anything wrong with them...Paddock's 65-68 building is a good backup choice if you like Congress Park for the Downtown Disney access but couldn't get in.

My personal favorite is Congress Park, building 1. It's the closest for walking to Downtown Disney/Marketplace...and I like walking over to the bus stop at Marketplace and grabbing busses to other resorts.

We stayed at SSR in a 2BR villa and THV (and BC) on our most recent trip, and THV definitely felt like its own resort to us. We did pick up packages and swim over at SSR proper a couple times, but we stayed in the THV area most of the time. It was wonderful!! Our villa was right on the water, and the kids LOVED waving at the boats as they passed.

Just for good measure, here are some pics from our stay at SSR...

Bumping case anybody has pictures of the new pool?I just booked yesterday for next October and can't wait 3 adults and my 3 boys:) was really worried to start with as my boys lived AKL but they actually loved POP even more!!!! So I was scared they wouldn't think the place was fun enough:confused3Or Disney enough for them. after looking at all these wonderful pics I'm now much happier to see the pools and water jet areas look really fun my boys are sure to love it:cool1:...... I was just desperate to see the new pool I've been looking everywhere for pics, also have they upgraded the TVA to flat screens yet? No big deal if not I was just curious...,.thanks for all the pics I'm now sooooooo ExCITED :woohoo:

When I was there in March the TVs had been upgraded to flat screens :)

Here is a video of the new pool at SSR. I know there are pics somewhere, I just can't remember which thread. My kids love SSR and can't wait to go back and see the new pool!!

Thanks for the youtube link of the new pool. We really enjoyed SSR last year and can't wait to go back next May. The new pool will be such a great bonus. Our only slight complaint would be the queue at Artist Pallet at breakfast time. Has this new area helped ease the queues at all?

Thanks so much everyone for the photos! They are all beautiful. (And are making me miss 'home' SO much!)

I just can't wait to drive into SSR and hear 'Welcome home!' again! :)

Thinking about staying at SSR this summer! Thinking about a split stay with SSR and Bay Lake Tower.

We visited there this past August and the Paddock pool was very nice!:cool1:

Would love to try a new resort!:thumbsup2

WE ALWAYS RENT A CAR, BUT HOW CONVENIENT WALKING IS IT TO DOWNTOWN DISNEY WALKING IF WE GOT THE PADDOCK POOL AREA?
I LOVE THAT POOL AND COUNTER SERVICE! VERY NICE!:thumbsup2

Thanks in advance!:goodvibes

June will be our first stay at SSR. Thank you for this great picture thread. I saw the Paddock Pool pictures on Allears. Our kids are going to love the water play area!

My family and I will be heading to SSR the last week of March(next month can't wait) these pictures are amazing. I have a question I have heard that sometimes if you ask upon check-in if there are any upgrades aval that you sometimes can get upgraded for free. Is this true? Has anyone out there had this happen? Already staying in a 2 bedroom suite, not sure what can be bigger then that. Any info from you all out there would be great. Thanks
