New DVC resort--Saratoga Springs Resort Spa

[Guest]

The defunct Disney Institute is being reinvented as a turn-of-the-century time-share complex called the Saratoga Springs Resort Spa that will open in 2004.

Saratoga Springs, already under construction, is being modeled after its namesake, the getaway town in the early 1900s for the affluent in eastern New York best known for its mineral springs.

For example, the pool area at the resort will be designed without the usual Disneyesque water slides -- focusing instead on a natural spring look with bubbles foaming up among rocks.

The resort will include 184 new units and about 300 remodeled apartment-style rooms in older buildings that were part of the Disney Institute.

The campus-style buildings that contain the older rooms may also be enhanced to reflect the upstate New York theme, said Mariska Elia, a spokeswoman for Disney's time-share operation, called Vacation Club.

Saratoga Springs will be the latest addition to Disney's Vacation Club time-share apartments, which are hot sellers. Disney World already has about 2,000 time-share units along with its 22,000 hotel rooms.

Elia said the older section of the complex, the former Disney Institute, may also be converted to time shares.

Prices to purchase one week in the new section of Saratoga will range from $12,000 to $150,000 for rooms and suites that sleep up to 12 guests each. Aside from the pool, the 16-acre facility will have a playground and barbecue pavilion.
