Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is an expertly themed resort in the Disney Springs area of Walt Disney World. When it opened in 2004, Saratoga Springs was the 7th Disney Vacation Club resort. Saratoga Springs was inspired by a historic city in New York of the same name. The official logo of this city is “Health, History, and Horses”. Throughout this DVC resort, there are nods to the real Saratoga Springs including lots of horses. There are many reasons why we think Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is a great place to stay on your Disney vacation. Read on for our top 5!
