There are four villa types at Disney's Saratoga Spring's Resort & Spa, studio, plus one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas. Unlike other Disney villa properties, pricing here is based strictly on size, not view. Studios sleep four with one queen-size bed and a full-size sofa, TV, DVD, a wet bar with an under-counter refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and a porch/balcony. The studios average 365 square feet.
One-bedroom villas also sleep four, however, there is a private master suite with a king bed and whirlpool tub, plus a fully equipped kitchen, full-size washer/dryer and a queen-size (vs. full) sleeper sofa in the living room. These villas average 710 square feet.
Two-bedroom villas sleep up to eight and offer everything that the one-bedroom offers with the addition of a second bedroom with two queen beds. Two-bedroom villas average 1,075 square feet.
Three-bedroom Grand villas are quite different in layout, spanning two floors and accommodating a maximum of 12 guests. The master bedroom has a king bed and roomy bathroom with whirlpool tub, and two additional bedrooms each with two queen-size beds, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, four TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area and suite entrances on both floors. The only thing missing from Saratoga's Grand Villas is loft furniture -- something that had been added into the design of the newer Kidani Village villas over near Animal Kingdom Lodge. Three-Bedroom Grand Villas average 2,349 square feet.
While requests cannot be guaranteed, it's worth thinking through location preferences and noting them before booking at this campus-style resort.
The Congress Park section offers three benefits: beautiful views of Downtown Disney (especially at night), lovely park bench sitting areas along the water, and a short walk to Downtown Disney along the lakeside path. However, this area's pool is more basic (and without a pool bar) and there is a longer walk to resort eateries than walking form the Grandstand or Springs sections.
Advantages of the Grandstand area: short walk to the main resort and its own unique horse racing themed pool; yet a longer walk to Downtown Disney.
Request The Springs section for rooms closest to the lobby restaurants, store, game room and main resort pool. The Paddock section, while a good walk to main resort amenities, will have a brand new horse-themed pool with interactive kid's area opening summer 2011.
Washers and dryers are available in the pool building at each leisure pool. Vending machines for laundry supplies are also available. Dry cleaning and laundry service is also available through the lists and bags in guest room closets. Housekeeping service daily for villa guests not booked through Disney Vacation Club. Pack n' plays can be found in a closet in each villa. Highchairs and bed-rails are available upon request.
