Off to the Races at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa

All of the resort hotels at Walt Disney World have unique themes and it is always fun to see how Disney incorporates the theme into the overall feeling of the resort. At Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, you don’t have to look far to see that the theme of this resort is horses and horse racing – specifically recalling the upscale peaceful ambiance of the resort town of Saratoga Springs, New York. Nods to horses and racing are evident everywhere, from the resort front desk and check in (The Carriage House), to the deluxe villa rooms, and even to the names of different sections of this large resort (Grandstand, Congress Park, Paddock, Carousel).  Read more

When you picture the perfect vacation, what do you see? Chances are the pictures that come to mind are beautiful scenery, wonderful hotels, amazing food, exploring new places and seeing new things, and above all else, memories that last a lifetime. What you may not picture though, is everything that goes into organizing this perfect, and stress-free, vacation.

Which brings me to today’s post about the “best way to see the USA”. You can pick your destination and begin to plan, spending hours researching everything there is to know, reading hundreds of reviews online for hotels and dining options, figuring out how you’re going to get there (and if you want to see multiple destinations, how you’re going to get from one to the next), all the while wondering what you’ve missed, and if you’re paying too much. And then when you get there, you can spend more hours waiting in lines, hoping you get to see the things that were important to you, hoping you don’t get lost, and trying not to be disappointed when that hotel that looked amazing online, hasn’t actually been renovated in years.

Vacations are much-needed opportunities for us to unwind, explore, spend precious time with our families and loved ones, and create lifelong memories. They are investments, both in time and in money, and as with all investments, should be made wisely. The good news is there are two things you can do to make a wise investment in your vacation plans to see America: Read more
