Kimmar067 - I think what makes Saratoga Springs so appealing is that it is pretty much right across the street from Downtown Disney. Not only is there lots of shopping to be done there, but if you are relying on Disney transportation while staying on property, Downtown Disney is like a central pub for the bus transportation...you can pretty much get anywhere from the busses at Downtown Disney. The bus transportation from the resorts doesn't go to as many places.
Also, they are the newest DVC resort at Disney World. It's a really nice resort.
Hope this helps!!
