Saratoga Springs: A Picture Report!!

Well, we are three weeks back from our vacation at SSR, and have I mentioned to anyone who will listen that we fell in love with this resort? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/love.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] We stayed in a 1BR villa (A surprise upgrade for DH) and had a third floor lake view.

I am going to do a Trip Report now that my CD-ROM drive is fixed and I can load the pictures, but I thought I would start with a mini-picture report here!

The grounds:




We loved the room, the lake and the relaxed feel. You also had a feeling that this was truly a DVC resort, just like OKW.

Every lake had a fountain:


This was the view from our third floor balcony:




This was taken from the carraige ride we took around the grounds:



Inside was beautiful. DH called it a cross between OKW and WL...not too far off, actually! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The kitchen:



Two views of the living room, one of the TV and one of the couch:





This picture of the bedroom was shot on our first night. You can see some of the beautiful view out the window. It was pretty even at night! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]



And last but not least, the bathroom! I am a sucker for the HUGE bathrooms that you get in the 1BR villa, they ROCK! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]






We are SO very glad that we added 100 points at this resort! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/082502yes_prv.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/woot.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/woot.gif[/img]

Great Pictures!!! I am planning to take the DVC tour of Saratoga Springs during my next trip since we are considering buying in during the next year or so.

Re: Saratoga Springs: A Picture Report!!

Thanks Sue for the great pictures. I have decided to take the tour when we are there this summer. I really think we may buy but I'm not sure. Probably will depend upon price, etc.

Re: Saratoga Springs: A Picture Report!!

It's great to hear someone who loved our home resort. We bought directly from disney in February but haven't been there yet.

I was really happy to read your positive review of SSR, Sue. This is our home resort, but we haven't stayed here, yet. Your pictures are great.[img]/ubb/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
