Indoor pool at spa?

[disneycrazed139]

A Disney Institute link somewhere looked like it had a picture of an indoor pool at the spa. I would be really excited if they kept that as part of Saratoga Springs. I certainly don't want to spend my time in Disney at an indoor pool, but there have been quite a few rainy days where any and all options are good.

Can anyone confirm the existence of this pool and whether they kept it/will keep it as part of the new resort?

I'm not sure whether or not there is an indoor pool. However, I don't think the spa will be a "free" component of SSR. I imagine they will continue to run it on a cash basis as they were before. Guests staying at DI didn't have free use of the spa.

I found this description on Deb Will's site. There is a pool

Facilities -- The Spa at the Disney Institute is located in the 38,000-square-foot Fitness Center, which also features a state-of-the-art fitness room with CYBEX® weight and cardiovascular equipment, indoor water exercise pool, and locker room areas—fully equipped with steam room, sauna, and indoor whirlpool. We suggest enjoying the steam room or sauna prior to indulging in our treatments. The Spa and Fitness Center are nonsmoking facilities.

Thanks for that. I'm sure you're right. It won't be free--also sounds like it might not be an appropriate pool for kids, but thought maybe it might be an option for a rainy day.

There is an Indoor pool at the Spa. During one visit, some CMs were going over plans for renovations for office space. One CM "suit"(presume a mgr) told me that the pool would be filled in. Another at the desk said they were pretty sure they were getting rid of it. While on another visit, one CM thought they were keeping it. You know how rumors go. Maybe Doc knows. The Spa should get much better business once SSR opens. It appeared that every time we visited, you almost had the place to yourself. Not good for business but very nice. Most of the folks we met were CMs who had gym memberships.
