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

Feel at Home at Disney’s Lovely Old Key West Resort

When you have a large(r) family or are looking for room to spread out on your Disney vacation – and maybe even have a kitchen so you can do some cooking – what do you do? Happily, the Walt Disney World Resort offers a number of options for guests who are looking for just that, at their Deluxe Villas. While some villas are part of existing deluxe resorts and so share facilities and amenities (Disney’s Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Animal Kingdom Resorts are examples) there are several deluxe villas that are ‘standalone’ resorts in that they only have villas. One of these – and a personal favorite of ours – is Disney’s Old Key West Resort. With a quiet and colorful Key West vibe, and enhanced with water ways and palm tree lined streets, this resort might just be the perfect option for your next Disney vacation. Read more
