which spa?

[gracey712]

I'm taking my first trip to wdw in october, we're staying at por. my sister tells me to take an afternoon and go to a spa for a massage, fascial, etc...I'm looking for your opinions on weather or not it's worth it, if it is which one to go to?

Have to say the GF Spa is wonderful. I have been there on several occasions for facials.

Here is the site for the services they offer.

Saratoga springs also has a spa but I havent been there.

My daughter and I have gone to the spa at the GF, we really like it. The people have been very nice and we've gotten great service.

Both Saratoga Springs & the GF offer a full service spa. If you check out Grumpys link, you'll notice that many of the other resorts also offer fitness centers. They'll have limited spa services available also. Typically a few different types of facials and massages. Not sure if you are looking for something close to your resort, or a spa experience. If it's the spa experience, I would definitely vote for one of the full service's. You also might want to keep your eye on the Swan/Dolphin resort. They had plans in the works for a Steiner spa, which is the same company they use on the Disney Cruise lines. From what I've read, this place is going to be amazing.

Thanks for all the input, I'm looking for a full service spa treatment, not so much a fitness center and I'm not concerned with where in the park it is. the GF looks to be the best choice, but I'll check out the swan as well if they do it.

It sounds like the Dolphin will be a very good bet... and is scheduled to open this summer, so should definitely be open by your trip... see: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050118/185595_1.html
