Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

You can find more pictures of this resort by clicking here.

Saratoga Springs, New York is a fantastic small town Upstate, which I had the pleasure to live in for four years.  So, when Disney opened the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, I could not wait to stay there!

Saratoga’s main attraction is the horseracing track that is still active today.  The resort is inspired by the Victorian track life of the 1800’s and also the great Natural Springs.  The décor of the main lobby and grounds incorporate the art and styling of that era. 

Saratoga Springs Resort has two dining options. The Artist’s Palette is the quick service option for the resort and is located just off the main lobby.  They serve three meals a day and have special offerings such as mickey waffles, sandwiches and pizza.  This is also where you can go to find the gift shop and purchase other necessary pantry items.  The Turf Club Bar and Grill is the table service option at the resort and features fish, burgers and steaks.


The Senses Spa is one of only two offered at the onsite resorts.  They offer all the typical spa services in a beautiful and tranquil spa that is attached to the main lobby.  If you can, I definitely recommend making an appointment for a massage during your stay.  It's a great way to work out all those sore muscles from trekking around the parks!  There is a fitness center located here as well, which just might be one of the best on property.

The kids want to swim?  High Rock Springs pool is located at the main building and not only has a 128ft long water slide but a splash pad and zero depth entry for the little ones and a poolside bar for the adults!  The resort has 3 other smaller pools that are considered quiet pools.  Other kid friendly amenities include the Win, Show, Place Arcade, playground, poolside movies and bike rentals.

Grown-up amenities?  Saratoga has the health center, jogging trails and boasts to be the only onsite resort with direct access to the golf course!

One of my favorite features of the resort is it’s location.  You can use Disney’s bus transportation to get to the parks like other resorts, or take a boat ride or even walk to Downtown Disney!  It’s a lovely walking trail after a nice evening of dinner and shopping.

Rooms range from studios that sleep 4, up to the Grand Villas that sleep 12.  The Treehouse Villas are unique to Saratoga as well.  These are special stand alone villas set apart from the resort that are designed like tree houses raised off the ground and surrounded by woods.  They sleep up to 9.

Whether you’re an avid golfer or looking to add some relaxing spa time to your Disney trip, you will not be disappointed with the Saratoga Springs Resort.  The kids will be plenty entertained and you will get a higher level of comfort and sophistication all in one stop.

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

Our Favorite Mocktails at Walt Disney World

Your resident foodie and vacation lush here to chime in on our favorite zero-proof drinks at the parks which I feel like Disney has done a much better job of recently.  Zero-proof alcohol is really having a moment so you can get a lot more mocktails that aren't just sugary sweet, and I am here for it!  Whether you are trying out "Dry January" for your visit, currently pregnant, underage, or just choose not to drink for whatever reason, I hope this list helps you find something to look forward to trying on your next trip! Let's start with a popular one from the last year, the EARidescent Sip-a-bration drink.  This delight can be found at most lounges throughout the 50th celebration at Walt Disney World. It features Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade and Fruity Strawberry Punch, and is served in a souvenir 50th Celebration Cup with a surprise character. This is definitely a kid-friendly drink but it is so fun to drop in the character and watch the drink change color and sta
