Gift Shops:

Cons:
The resort grounds are beautiful and kept up at Saratoga Springs. If you are not up to walking to the pools or to get food, this may not be the resort for you. If you are all about maximizing your time in the Disney World theme parks and are depending on Disney transportation, you may get frustrated with the transportation at this sprawling resort.
Pros:
This resort is perfect for people who are looking for a true "resort" experience, as opposed to just a "Disney Vacation". The units are spacious and comfortable, and the resort has numerous beautiful pools, on-site recreation, easy access to wonderful golf courses, and immediate access to lots of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. It is also a great choice for multi-generational trips or for guests who really want to relax in a comfortable and luxurious setting. If your family really loves hanging out at the pool, this resort has several fun and beautiful pool areas to choose from.
It is likely to be a top pick for adults taking a Walt Disney World vacation solely for the sake of their kids, but want a reprieve from the “magic” when returning from the parks. Conversely, Saratoga Springs is also a good option for an adults-only or a honeymoon trip if you want easy access to the exceptional dining at Disney Springs.
