Oh please can I join the Saratoga Stinks club???
Recently I've stayed at the Grand Floridian; Lagoon View, Polynesian; Garden View and the Boardwalk Villas; Boardwalk View. After reading all the negativity on here I KNEW I was going to despise Saratoga Springs.
Lucky me, I hated it more then I ever thought I would.
I HATED the dedicated bus transportation - I would MUCH rather share my bus with 2 or 3 other resorts.
I HATED the quietness of the resort - how can I relax when things are SO quiet?!?
I HATED being at WDW without it being 'in your face' - doesn't everyone want to listen to IASW 24 hours when they are in the world?
I HATED having the pool all to myself, watching fireworks from the hot tub every night - that was terrible, I was so relaxed going back to my room afterwards
I HATED the 7 minute walk from my room to the Marketplace - it's WAAAAY to short of a walk!
I HATED the gorgeous room furnishings - I much prefer the tacky...errr...I mean colorful furnishings of the value resorts
I HATED being able to jump on a bus from the Marketplace to any other resort - I would much rather go to a park first and wait for that resort bus (with any luck it will do what the BW bus does - stop at the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club AND Beach Club before it gets to the Boardwalk)
I HATED being so close to PI - I would much prefer looking like a drunken fool on the Disney bus.
I can honestly say that of all the recent resorts I've stayed at, I hated SSR the most. I hated it so much that I have to go back to make certain I hated it enough to never, ever stay there again!
