Saratoga Springs Resort
One of the best features of the amenity-laden Saratoga Springs Resort inside Disney World is the free ferry service that takes you from your hotel to Downtown Disney. Other amenities include one of Disney's pools, state-of-the-art equipment in the fitness center, a full-service spa and tennis courts. The other prime attraction of Saratoga Springs is that is sits right next to Lake Buena Vista Golf. If that Disney golf course doesn't appeal to you, keep in mind that one of the perks of staying inside Disney is free taxi service to any of Disney World's golf courses.
