The Saratoga Springs Resort exceeded our expectations. Our Preferred View 1-bedroom had plenty of space and lots of lighting. We never stayed here before the recent renovation, but we really like the end result. Some of the positive notes about the room are…the large chest in the bedroom, storage for luggage under the bed, ceiling fans in both the bedroom and the living room, night lights built into the bathroom outlets, separate bathroom vanities, two shower heads, separate large soaking tub, decent tv selection, lots of charging outlets/usb ports and comfortable furniture. The AC works well when it’s running, but the “auto” feature didn’t seem to work properly. If we had the air set at 70, it wouldn’t come on until the room got up to 72 or 73°. We didn’t bother to call maintenance since it was really only an issue at night while we were sleeping and we have had this issue at many other Disney resorts. The shower is a walk-in shower but it is a bit of an odd shape & might be kind of tight for a larger person. Loved the 2 shower heads though! Just an fyi - the kitchen has very little storage so you might have to get creative if you bring a lot of snacks. Nice, brand new appliances though. Our only other complaint about the room, and this is being very picky…is that the bedroom doesn’t stay dark in the morning for guests who like to sleep in because there is a good size gap between the black-out curtains and the window. The window in the bedroom is not a sliding glass door, but more of a recessed window. We really liked having multiple pools to choose from. Some are quieter than others, so there’s something for everyone. There are also multiple places where you can get counter service food and fill up your purchased Disney mugs with soda/coffee/tea. The main building offers a well-stocked gift shop, a gym and an area where you can rent surrey bikes or regular bikes by the hour or day. This resort is very large so you can plan on probably doing a lot of walking. However, there is a shuttle bus within the resort and you can also call a number to get a ride on a golf cart within the resort from a cast member. There are multiple bus stops within the resort for the buses that take you to the parks, so it could take a little longer to get to the parks. We found using the My Disney Experience app very helpful in helping us determine how much time to allow for transportation to the parks and to Disney Springs. Although there is a bus that can take you to Disney Springs, taking the resort boat or just walking over is quicker. To sum it up, we would definitely stay at this resort again. The staff was wonderful and it gives you a great opportunity to spend time at Disney Springs in the evenings.
