The scheduled refurbishment of the lobby of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa has begun. This is phase one of three of the refurbishment.

From the parking lot, we could see crew members painting the top of the building.

The doors to the performance hall have been repainted.

During phase one, the connecting hallway to the main lobby has closed. Guests can still access the restrooms and The Artist’s Palette by going around.

A temporary wall blocks the hallway from guest access.

The lobby will remain available while the hallway is closed.

During phase two, which will last from July 12 through late September, the porte-cochère will be closed.

Another temporary wall is at the other end of the hallway.

The exterior of the carriage house was recently painted dark blue.

While the hallway is updated, this entrance is unavailable.

During phase three in early August, the connecting hallway will open, and the main lobby will close. The front desk and concierge services will still be available in the hallway in addition to curbside check-in at the Disney Vacation Club Preview Center.

Once complete, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will feature an enhanced check-in experience offering an open, free-flowing layout with a variety of smaller counters to help guests prepare for their vacation.
