Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is a great choice for a hotel to stay in during a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. First of all, it’s a good hotel; we told you the hotel’s benefits here. Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa also has all the perks of staying at an onsite Disney World hotel (we tell you these Disney hotel perks here). But at the same time, since it is a deluxe hotel, you get a perk that a lot of other Disney hotels don’t get: extra park hours at night. And finally, we’ve found that Saratoga Springs is the most affordable of these Disney deluxe hotels, so it’s a good deal, too.
Especially if you take advantage of our money-saving tips. We give you five different hacks you could use to save money on your Saratoga Springs visit. By using one of these hacks, you could pay less for Saratoga Springs than you do for a Disney value hotel or an off-site hotel!
And here’s one more tip before you continue reading these hacks: make sure you check out all the hacks to ensure you are getting a stay for the lowest available rate! Depending on availability and other factors, which hack could save you money could be different every time. So price shop to make sure you get the best deal!
1. Book a Room with DVC Points (Without Becoming a DVC Member!)
The best way to save money staying at Saratoga Springs that my family has found is booking a room using DVC points, or Disney Vacation Club points. This is how we were able to initially stay at Saratoga Springs at a really affordable price. We have used this hack so many times throughout the years to finance our Disney trips.
And the best part? We’ve done it without having to become a Disney Vacation Club Member! You can actually rent DVC points without having to be a member. It might sound complicated, but it’s actually not; we tell you how to rent DVC points here.
2. Become a Disney+ Member
Becoming a Disney+ member gives you access to a lot of great Disney movies and TV shows. But did you know it can also help you save money at Saratoga Springs?
Right now, there is a great flash sale going on where Disney+ members can book a room at Saratoga Springs for just $249 per night! Now, because it is a flash sale, this is a limited-time deal to get you a discounted rates. It is just for stays this summer, specifically for June 29, 2025, through July 31, 2025.
This will need to be booked through Disney’s website. And here’s an extra tip from us at Green Vacation Deals: if you go this route, consider earning Swagbucks, which you can exchange for Disney gift cards. You can earn Swagbucks for simple things like playing a game on your phone or doing an internet search. We talk about ways to earn Swagbucks here. Once you have earned enough for a Disney gift card, you can use these gift cards to finish paying off your hotel balance at the hotel when you check in.
3. Look for Deals on Disney’s Website
There are sometimes deals on Disney’s website here. At certain points in the year, there are seasonal sales. There are discounts for US military members and Disney annual passholders. You can earn Swagbucks to help pay for Disney gift cards to use for these bookings, too.
But before you lock in one of these rates, though, check the next hack.
4. Check Priceline
Priceline actually has discounts that are not only similar to what you find on Disney’s website, but they are often better than what you would find on Disney’s website. I’ve actually booked Disney hotel rates that are cheaper than what I would have gotten with my annual passholder discount. So definitely check out Priceline before you book your stay!
Here’s another Green Vacation Deals tip: If you still want to earn Swagbucks for Disney gift cards to help pay for your trip, you could still earn Swagbucks even if you don’t use it for your hotel room. Instead, use these Disney gift cards to help pay for your dining during your trip!
5. Check Kayak
The last thing you should do before you book your hotel room is to check Kayak. Kayak checks multiple hotel websites, so it takes the work out for you. And if there is any deal out there that’s even better than the other deals I mentioned before, you could find it on Kayak! So definitely check for Saratoga Springs rates for the dates of your vacation on Kayak.
