Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is a Disney Vacation Club resort at the Walt Disney World Resort. The resort is the seventh Disney Vacation Club resort and is situated on the former site of the Disney Institute. It first opened May 17, 2004 and was built in three phases. It is now the largest Disney Vacation Club resort. The resort was inspired by the city of Saratoga Springs, New York.
The 65-acre (26 ha) resort was designed by Graham Gund Architects of Cambridge, Massachusetts. There are a total of 18 Villa Buildings providing 828 Vacation Home Units (1,260 guest rooms), plus an additional 60 Treehouse Villas.
Available rooms range from single room studios to three bedroom extended family suites on two floors (Grand Villas). Like other Disney Vacation Club resorts, the studios offer kitchenettes, bathrooms, one queen bed, and one sleeper sofa. While the resort has one of the lowest costs for villas on property, the Springs area is now premier status, resulting in increased prices due to the popularity. The popularity of this area is a result of the location, being one of the closest areas to the main lobby including two restaurants, the Artist's Palette and The Turb Club Bar and Grill, and the main pool, High Rock Spring pool.
In October 2007, the resort received designation in the Florida Green Lodging Program.
Reservations may be made directly through Disney like a normal hotel, and Disney Vacation Club members may book reservations using their vacation club points. Intermediary agencies allow non Disney Vacation Club members to book reservations using Disney Vacation Club Points.
The Turf Club Bar and Grill offers a full service restaurant and lounge area. The lounge area is known as the "The Turf Club Lounge" which offers a full-size pool table and full service bar. The Turf Club restaurant only serves dinner.
The Artist's Palette is a market-style counter service eatery that offers both hot and cold meals and food grocery items including a bakery and wine selection. The restaurant is themed after an artist's studio. The Artist's Palette also offers a gift shop adjacent to the eatery with Disney merchandise, resort merchandise, sundries, and other convenience items for guests.
On The Rocks pool bar is the main poolside bar located at the High Rock Spring Pool. The bar offers alcoholic drinks and beverages, soft drinks, light snacks, and a refillable mug station.
