I honestly have no idea, but seeing as DVC will not own the spa there I wouldn't think so.

But like I said, I have no idea. Perhaps someone else does.

I think that SSR isn't going to have traditional room service, like VWL, BWV and BCV. I don't think you'll be able to pick up the phone and use a menu to order items. I believe that you can go down to the "food area" (didn't think food court was appropriate) and order your food and then request it be delivered to your room. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I also don't know if SSR will be a DVC only resort like OKW. There is talk that some of the old Institute that wasn't teared down, might re-open as a hotel in it's own right, but I'm not sure.

What do you mean by "DVC only Resort"? There is no such thing.
All resorts,including OKW are rented out for cash by Disney. No word either way on room service at SSR .Any opinions you get on the subject are just that,opinions.

No. There wont be room service.

Yes, Disney will keep developer points to book for cash, to members and non-members.

The SSR resort is presented as a DVC Resort. There have been no plans announced for any hotel component like BWI, WL or BC.

The Spa is included in the SSR Resort & Spa, and will be managed by the same group that handles the GF Spa.

The remaining residential components of the former DI are not part of SSR and no announcement has been made about future utilization of those structures. (Remaining buildings are the old Fairway Villas, Treehouse Villas and Grand Vista Homes.

Most recently, the Fairway Villas have been used as housing for College Program CM's. The Treehouse Villas have been empty since the close of DI.

Developer News
Eat in, take out, and shop
Convenience is the order of the day at The Artist's Palette, the neighborhood eatery and market at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, the newest proposed Disney Vacation Club Resort. In last month's Member Clubhouse, we told you how rich, warm colors create a cozy and inviting mood with seating areas, oversized paintings, and exposed beams inspired by an artist's loft.

Lori Shew, Concept Development Manager for Walt Disney World® Food & Beverage, says that "Over the last three to four years, we've opened and designed many areas that marry food and beverage and retail because of the convenience for Guests...they have a one-stop shop." The Artist's Palette, which recalls the charm of neighborhood markets, goes one step further, offering prepared foods to go, a concept that Lori calls "new and exclusive for Disney Vacation Club."

Speaking with Disney Vacation Club Members, Lori and her team heard that variety isn't just the spice of life; it's what Members expect at the new Resort. Not only will additional menu items be offered, Resort Guests will have choices of how items are served to them: delivery to a Vacation Home, grab-and-go (taking items back to your Vacation Home or anywhere else), and grab-and-sit (eating either at one of the tables inside or outside by the pool). The indoor seating capacity is 124; however, there will be no table wait service.

The main food service area of The Artist's Palette is split into four areas, Lori explains. To the far left is a bank of refrigerated cases, stocked with items you'd expect to find in a typical Disney Vacation Club Resort convenience location, such as milk, sodas, cheeses, and frozen pizzas. Directly in front and to the near left is the bakery area, with muffins and pastries. Some items will be self-service, while bakers from behind the counter will serve other fresh baked dessert items. Lori describes the centerpiece of the room as a "beautiful oven...where we'll be making pizzas, calzones, and focaccia [sandwiches]." Here, she says, "you'll be able to talk to the chef and have pizzas or sandwiches made to your liking."

To the right, near the retail area, Guests will find cases featuring the heartier entrees of the day, like meatloaf with gravy and mashed potatoes or lasagna. Guests can enjoy their meal at a table, or take the selections and dine back at their Vacation Home. A retail area will feature grocery items, bottled wines, and Walt Disney World merchandise.

The Artist's Palette will feature "an all-day dining program," says Lori, serving "a traditional American-style breakfast, with omelets, sandwiches, and breakfast pizzas, for example. Lunch and dinner will offer made-to-order sandwiches, fresh-tossed salads, and custom pizzas. We'll also feature nightly dinner entrees as additional options."

Lori is excited about opening The Artist's Palette to Disney Vacation Club Members. "We've really tried to do something different here [at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa], so that you have retail, you have quick service, but you also have more hearty dinner options. It really gives Guests some flexibility. They can get in and get out, or if they want to wait and get something customized, they can."
