Disney Saratoga Springs Resort Hotel

We stayed in Congress Park - 5 of us in a 2 bedroom villa. There was plenty of space, the villa was very clean and we found the bus service excellent. A very short and pleasant walk to Downtown Disney (5 minutes). Congress Park has its own quiet pool which we preferred as we have no small children (no need for slides). We found parks best in the morning, leaving after lunch, when we spent the afternoon by the pool. In the evening we would go off to eat (mainly at Epcot or Disney hotels). All were very good - particularly the Italian in Epcot which was excellent - and don't miss the Japanese where they cook at your table. We had the Disney Dining Plan which I personally would not do again as we found we had not used them all by the time we left. Meals equated to 210 dollars on average for 5 (including a bottle of wine). You tip on the full amount. However, when we ate at the Red Lobster outside Disney and paid for our meal - this cost 97 dollars. With 3 daughters we didn't want to be eating 2 desserts every day either so for us I don't think this was a good option. We stayed for 2 weeks which meant we could take our time and make several visits to each park which made the holiday more relaxing than I had expected. All in all - an excellent choice of resort.
