Disney's Saratoga Springs Pool Hopping Tour
Facilities and Amenities
June 2013
Disney resort pools are an attraction of their own.
The Saratoga Springs Resort is a massive, sprawling resort. As such, there are multiple pools to be found throughout the Saratoga Springs Resort grounds.
The High Rock Springs Pool is located in the Springs Area of the Resort.
The Paddock Pool is Located in the Paddock Area of the Resort.
The Backstretch Pool is located in the Grandstand Area of the Resort.
The Congress Park Pool is located in the Congress Park Area of the Resort.
Finally, there is a pool located in the Treehouse Villas section of the Resort.
Below, we will tour all but the Treehouse Villas Pool, which is effectively in a separate Resort
area.
The Backstretch Pool
The Backstretch Pool located in the Grandstand area of the resort.
This pool offers a variety of amenities.
A full service snack bar offers quick service meals, snacks, and a
bar.
A kiddy water play area is located adjacent to the pool.
A hot tub is located just to the right of this shot.
A surprising amenity is located just outside the Backstretch Pool -
a picnic and grilling area.
There is a similar
grilling area located at the Congress Park Pool as well.
Lockers are available for guest use, as well as laundry and restroom
facilities.
The High Rock Springs Pool
The High Rock Springs Pool is the main pool at the Saratoga Springs Resort.
It is the largest pool on site and plays host to activities throughout the
day.
It's located next to the main buildings in the Springs Area of the resort.
There are two hot tubs at the High Rock Springs pool, this is one of them.
On The Rocks pool bar - for those who need alcohol with their water.

At the far end of the pool is an arcade.
Bike rentals are done near the pool area.
Exiting the pool area brings me to one of the criticisms of this resort - the
busy main road that runs right through the center of the resort.
I don't know of any other Disney resort that has a roadway going directly
through the center of it.
Once across the road, however, you'll be back on beautiful pathways once
again.
The Springs area of the resort is connected to The Paddock area by this long
bridge.
The Paddock Pool can be seen to the left in this shot.

The Congress Park section of the resort features a quieter pool than the
other areas.

restrooms.
A grilling area is nearby.

A sitting area next to the Congress Park Pool offers great views of
Downtown Disney.
This is also located along the walkway to Downtown Disney.
