We stayed at Saratoga the year before last in a 2 bedroom villa and loved it! My favorite thing about SS was the morning breakfast croissant at the Artist Palette. Sounds silly but they were fab!

I have not stayed at another resort yet who could duplicate the same taste. Boardwalk was close but by the time you got it back to your room it was all mushy. yuck...
It's a large resort so be patient with the transportation. It was not bad but it certainly was not the best either.
Have fun!

Side thought, I used to be a pro at making those breakfast croissants.

I could make up about six in thirty seconds. I miss those days!
The transportation there does take a bit, as I recall there are four stops. The new pool looks lovely too!

I wonder if that is the same brekkie croissant they had at the All-Stars? Eggs and cheese and bacon if you wanted it I believe. We never tried one but they seemed to be very popular with the guests.

Standard for all the resorts, actually, you can get them at Pop too. And the All Stars. And Port Orleans... and everywhere else we've stayed.

Wow very nice annafab! I know Saratoga is a huge resort but I can say Disney gives it plenty of buses. We stood in a huge line for YC, BC, Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin at DTD waiting for a single bus while Saratoga had three . I've never seen long lines for their stops and the pictures of the new pool look amazing.
