DVC Fan: Happy 16th Birthday Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa

DVC Fan: Happy 16th Birthday Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa

Keep an eye on your rearview mirror when you are out on the road today because Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is officially old enough to drive!

Saratoga Springs became seventh Disney Vacation Club Resort on May 17th, 2004, and at that time looked a whole lot different than it does today. Built in a series of four stages, the resort originally opened in 2004 with just 184 vacation home units in the section known as Congress Park. Over the next five years, it would grow into what we know today with 888 units, making it the largest Disney Vacation Club Resort property.

In scouring The DIS archives a bit, I found these photos from about a week before the resort’s grand opening:

Earlier this year, we featured the Saratoga Springs as part of our DVC “7 in 7” series, reviewing the resort, rooms, restaurants, and more!

We also featured Saratoga Springs on an episode of The DVC Show, discussing the pros and cons of the resort!

One of the biggest pros of this resort is its extremely reasonable resale value, making it an excellent first DVC purchase or a great add-on. Check out some of these current resale offers for Saratoga Springs over on DVCStore.com!
