Which spa for manis/ pedis?

[Maine_Belle]

Mom and I simply MUST spend at least a couple of hours at one of the spas for our mother/ daughter trip to the World in a month. Because we are trying to keep the budget down we'll probably opt for just a manicure to get pretty & pedicure for our poor tired feet, rather than a full massage/ all-out afternoon. (Though nothing is set in stone at this point if there is something amazing we MUST do.)

Of the 3 spas on site- Grand Floridian, Saratoga Springs, and Mandara at the Dolphin- which do you think will be best and not too detrimental to our wallets?

Notes: GF would be nice because we are staying next door at the Poly and Dolphin would be nice because we'll spend a lot of time exploring and eating over in Epcot. It would take some convincing to do SS, but I'm open.

I have only tried the GF Spa but I would highly recommend it especially, as you point out, since you're staying next door at the Polynesian The walk over is lovely. Consider afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian before or after your visit to the spa

Get the mani/pedi combo. It's 80 minutes and $110 but they do a very nice job. The pedicure includes an amazing mask for your legs. Request Cora. She is wonderful. Hope she is still there!

I have only used the spa at Saratoga Springs and it was very nice. I'd definitely go back. Not sure if you want to go there though since it's so far from the Poly - unless you have the time and are curious to see the resort.

There is a salon, "Periwigs" at the Yacht & Beach Club. DD13 got a manicure there on her b-day last year. We're going to make appts. soon for our trip next month.

How do you find the prices for the resort salons? I can find the info for the spas but can't seem to find a list of which resorts have salons and what the prices are...the spas are really expensive so I was hoping for a more affordable pedicure.
