Disney Spring to Saratoga Springs Question

[Lisa P.]

Both walking form SSR or Hotel Plaza hotels use the same entry point temp check by the Once Upon A Toy store. It was always fast and easy to get through as the mostly the only people who enter are from those two locations or Uber drop-offs.

Last Thursday afternoon, this was where we entered after temperature check. When leaving DS to go to SSR, we exited by the Disney's Days of Christmas shop (even closer to SSR), where there was a temporary gate and a security guard who only allowed guests through who were leaving DS (not entering). It's a lovely walk along the water.

And there are a lot of critters if you have kids that like that! My kids favorite part is to look for frogs, lizards, geckos, snakes, etc... yes...

One hint is to drive and park your car in Congress Park to the far east side of the lot which makes the walk over much shorter (we did staying in the Paddock). At night you may see the sign that pathway is closed but its only one path and because there is no lights. So either use a flashlight from your phone or walk between the Congress Park buildings that are lighted and then follow the path by the lake which is a slightly longer walk.

I will kindly ask that if you are staying in another section of SSR that you do not park in this section of Congress Park exclusively. It makes it difficult for those staying in those villas to find parking later in the day. If you are bringing luggage, groceries, or have mobility issues, parking closer to your villa makes it less difficult. We experienced the limited parking issues this last November.

There is plenty of parking that allows access to the walking path towards Disney Springs in Congress Park if you are inclined to use that lot.
