Frommer's Highly Recommended

The first phase of the newest Disney Vacation Club resort opened in May 2004; construction, however, is ongoing and a completion date has not been released. The resort transports guests back in time to the heyday of upstate New York's 19th-century resorts. It resembles the resort town of Saratoga Springs, and you'll find lavish gardens, Victorian architecture, and bubbling springs. The resort's main pool brings to mind its namesake's natural springs, with \"healing\" waters spilling over the rocky landscaping. The renowned spa offers a wide array of services and treatments meant to invoke the healing powers of Saratoga's Springs themselves. Accommodations resemble those of the other Disney timeshare properties and range from studios that sleep four to grand villas that can sleep up to 12 people more than comfortably. Downtown Disney is a short ferry ride across the lake (or you can hoof it, if you so desire), but getting to the theme parks will require a bit more effort. This is another resort where a car would definitely come in handy. Tip: The accessible rooms at this resort are also equipped for the hearing impaired.
