Review of Saratoga Springs by Ryan on Apr 17th, 2021 - Back
Saratoga Springs gets a bad rap. Of the DVC resorts its probably one of the most overlooked and ignored. My guess is that this is due more to the theming of the resort itself as well as it being fairly far from the parks (not really true). I would say the theming here is more like Grand Floridian in pure style, but not near that over the top. The rooms here which were recently renovated in recent years are some of the best DVC rooms you can rent value wise. The Grand Villa here is definitely one of the best in terms of value to DVC points ratio compared to other resorts. It's biggest PRO is probably it's the closest in terms of walking distance to Disney Springs. You can get there in 10 minutes give or take depending on what side of the resort you are staying on. It's also one of the most quiet resorts that Disney offers at this level. That is a big plus for me and you wont hear non-stop screaming from kids outside your windows or room door. Downside is this resort is a sprawl and depending on where you are located can be a bit of a walk to the main house or buses. That said, this is a great resort that is highly recommended for bang for you buck. Dont overlook SS!
