My friend and I are going on a trip to Disney and will be staying in a deluxe suite at Saratoga springs. Thanks so much for the walkthrough. It'll definitely give us an idea of what to expect when we get there.
Congress Park was always my favorite area but stopped booking it because of it being changed to Preferred and increased points. This video definitely makes me want to start booking it again. I love what they did with these rooms. The lighter colors and the removal of the rugs brighten up the rooms and I love the Murphy beds.
Thank you so much for this video!! SSR is our home resort, so I’m really happy to see this great refurbishment and can’t wait to stay there!!! ❤️ all the way from Israel 🇮🇱
I am excited about that new remodel! The extra queen bed is a great feature. It looks so clean and modern. They were in need of an upgrade. I love that there's no carpet now too!
Impressons Better then the old looks! Tba carpets are now all hard wood floors which is better! Tbe beds are now raised beds Tbe couch looks good but there is no more horse pillows, but the new ones are good! I love how they have murphy beds insted of sofa beds! The new dressers look a lot better! Tbe kitchennette looks a lot better with stainless steel appliances! Tbe bathrooms are a lot better with new floors, new sinks, new tiets, and a new tub shower combo with 2 showerheads! Overall impressons, This ia a LOT better!!! Worth your stay!
Great upgrade to a tired looking resort. We love our SSR DVC, and can't wait to finally get a referbed room. Don't think the "preferred" upcharge is worth it, so hoping they progress quickly through this gigantic resort.
Thank you for the detailed video! Studio is much improved, but they still missed their mark to make it 100% perfect by not putting that pocket door in to completely enclose the bathroom sink area from the bedroom area. Its my biggest pet peeve to have the lights go on, hear the water or blow dryer when someone else is still trying to rest. Even the value hotels have these doors being installed to completely enclose the bathroom area. Very surprised they did not do this with a Deluxe Resort.
It is odd they didn't add anything there since it seems they've been working to add them in so many other remodels. We definitely agree: those doors really help with the sound while others are sleeping.
Here I am again…sorry about that! I now am wondering what you think about Saratoga Springs preferred vs. Kidani savanna studios. Only a party of one. Thanks!
I see there isn't a table and chairs anymore. I don't recall there being a desk in the master in the one and 2 bedroom either. In the studio, the pull up coffee table surface will have to do for eating. The desk in the master was probably not used by most guests.
I love these new rooms. My only comment on a lot of the DVC studios is the kitchenette area is a little hard for me. The plates and cups are a little too high to easily grab.
We are planning a last minute trip and Saratoga is the only one with availability. I liked your video. So many people are down on Saratoga but the rooms look nice. Can you tell me which buildings are close to Disney Springs? Do you happen to know if all the preferred rooms are now updated? Thanks for your help.
They have finished Congress Park and are working on Springs now. Both of those are preferred sections. Congress Park is the section near Disney Springs.
@@HereWithTheEars Do you know if there is a quick service close to Congress Park? I heard that the eating areas are few and not all the buildings are close to one.
Diane Lucio There’s not. Because it’s near DS which has lots of options there. Which is really nice too because you aren’t limited to just the resort food.
Here With The Ears I’m loving it! I’ve been sick home for the past few days and watching them all! Me and my dad are actually headed to Disney in March for my graduation gift and we’re staying in the little mermaid suite!
calbear We didn’t ask about this one specifically. The others at Pop and such have always been Queen, but it is possible this one is smaller. We’ll have to ask when we go back. 😊
Jodi Strock Thanks! It’s really interesting they made this smaller. Must have been to allow more space in the room, but that would stink if you have two people sharing the bed. More mattress space is needed in that case.
They are still working to finish the last few rooms on the preferred buildings as of a couple weeks ago, so it will still be a bit until any rooms in the standard areas are complete for guests to stay in.
You can request a remodeled room, but currently they aren’t completely finished. They are more than halfway done with the preferred rooms though, so you have a good chance of getting a remodeled one.
There is no table to eat or work at! You have to keep the bathroom door closed or it is the middle of the kitchenette area. Designers could have learned from the excellent studio interior design at Bay Lake.
I believe the colored one is from Aristocrats. It's Frou Frou. The one from 101 Dalmatians doesn't have a blonde main. The black and white I believe are from a Mickey animated short where the gang played polo.
Zoom out so people watching your videos can see wider shots in the beginning. You're not providing the wow factor being so close on everything. You literally shot downward for most of the video.

You’re welcome 😊 Have a great trip!
So beautiful! Can’t wait to stay here!!
Really appreciating all of your room tours. Very helpful when trying to plan and decide between resorts and room categories etc
We’re so glad! 💕

They did a great job remodeling these ❤️

Wow! Thanks for watching! It really is such a great remodel. We loved it!
Good one guys, you nailed it with first to RUclips with all these SSR refurb videos.
Thanks :)
Staying here in April. Can’t wait.
Super helpful guys !! Great share

Yes! All of the rooms here look so much better now! 😍
Very nice

This ia a LOT better!!!
Worth your stay!
I haven't stayed at SS yet but it seems to have a pretty laid back feeling like OKW. A resort tour would be awesome.
Yes! Very similar vibes 😃
Great upgrade to a tired looking resort. We love our SSR DVC, and can't wait to finally get a referbed room. Don't think the "preferred" upcharge is worth it, so hoping they progress quickly through this gigantic resort.
The upgrade has definitely made a huge difference

Great Video! I just upgraded to preferred to try to get this room. Thanks!
Dream Vacations | Montebello & Associates That’s awesome!
Here I am again…sorry about that! I now am wondering what you think about Saratoga Springs preferred vs. Kidani savanna studios. Only a party of one. Thanks!
We got a newly remodeled room! It is absolutely beautiful!!
Jodi Strock Yea!!!! 😃
I see there isn't a table and chairs anymore. I don't recall there being a desk in the master in the one and 2 bedroom either. In the studio, the pull up coffee table surface will have to do for eating. The desk in the master was probably not used by most guests.
Great video thank you!
Hate that they didn't put in table and chairs instead of the bench with recycling bin next to it.
I love these new rooms. My only comment on a lot of the DVC studios is the kitchenette area is a little hard for me. The plates and cups are a little too high to easily grab.
jillt2ph They are really high up! Sometimes you don’t even realize there’s something up there if it gets pushed back at all.
We are planning a last minute trip and Saratoga is the only one with availability. I liked your video. So many people are down on Saratoga but the rooms look nice. Can you tell me which buildings are close to Disney Springs? Do you happen to know if all the preferred rooms are now updated? Thanks for your help.

Diane Lucio There’s not. Because it’s near DS which has lots of options there. Which is really nice too because you aren’t limited to just the resort food.
I’m binge watching all your videos to see the places I can’t afford to stay in 😂😂
Haha! 🤣 Hope you’re enjoying them!
Here With The Ears I’m loving it! I’ve been sick home for the past few days and watching them all! Me and my dad are actually headed to Disney in March for my graduation gift and we’re staying in the little mermaid suite!
Is there a washer/dryer in the studio?
No. But you do have access to the laundry room for free.
Any idea if the rest of the Deluxe Studios have been completed?
All of the rooms at Saratoga Springs have been completed
Do you happen to know where they stand with refurb? What areas are done now?
The murphy bed seems a bit smaller than the queen bed in the video. Is there a chance it could be a full sized bed, instead of a queen?
calbear We didn’t ask about this one specifically. The others at Pop and such have always been Queen, but it is possible this one is smaller. We’ll have to ask when we go back. 😊
The Murphy bed is about 1 foot shorter (wide) that the regular bed. So, I’d feel safe saying it’s a full & not a queen.
Jodi Strock Thanks! It’s really interesting they made this smaller. Must have been to allow more space in the room, but that would stink if you have two people sharing the bed. More mattress space is needed in that case.
Any updates on the progress? Just curious of the chances of getting a refurbished room if booking a standard studio with DVC rental points. :)
They are still working to finish the last few rooms on the preferred buildings as of a couple weeks ago, so it will still be a bit until any rooms in the standard areas are complete for guests to stay in.
March 2021 and I got stuck in a Standard Deluxe Studio that still hasn't been remodeled. No USB ports anywhere in it!
Are all the preferred studio rooms been remodeled? Or luck of the draw that you get one.
You can request a remodeled room, but currently they aren’t completely finished. They are more than halfway done with the preferred rooms though, so you have a good chance of getting a remodeled one.
Eating in the rooms.
They have the coffee table that turns into an eating tray instead for more space
The "eating tray" is small and awkward. Not very functional.
There is no table to eat or work at! You have to keep the bathroom door closed or it is the middle of the kitchenette area.
Designers could have learned from the excellent studio interior design at Bay Lake.
You guys need to get a wide angle lens. Too close up
The wider angle warps the view and tends to make people feel sick when watching. That’s why we don’t use it.
Can a scooter fit though the door way and not be in the way thank you doris
Depending on the size of the scooter, generally they can fit through the doors but most guests leave theirs in the hallway 😊
We had no problem at Pop Century with room for a scooter and the size and layout is similar.
Looks like the horses from 101 Dalmations
I think they are from 101 Dalmatians
I believe the colored one is from Aristocrats. It's Frou Frou. The one from 101 Dalmatians doesn't have a blonde main. The black and white I believe are from a Mickey animated short where the gang played polo.
