Bye 2020 and hellooooo 2021!
There’s no surprise here but we are spending the final days of the year reporting from Disney World to bring you all the important updates. Yesterday, we took a stroll around Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to get in the loop on all the news. Check out the latest in food, construction, and merchandise!
Saratoga Springs Food Updates
Let’s start on the food front!
The Artist’s Palette
The Eggnog Cupcake looked a little different than when we last saw it. It now has a little snowman on it instead of a little wreath!
It’s probably still as tasty as ever though. This little treat might not be around for much longer with the end of the season so if you’re hoping to give him a try, you’ll want to do so ASAP.

The Artist’s Palette also had a new Apple Tart for $6 which is (one) adorable and (two) delicious.
You can bet we took a LOT of pics of this beauty and broke down exactly what we thought when we reviewed it earlier. Check it out!

Finally, on the merchandise side of The Artist’s Palette, we spotted some cute little bottles of Champagne for $22 — displayed next to Mickey champagne flutes of course!
Saratoga Springs Construction Updates
On to construction! Remember, the Paddock Pool, also at this resort, is expected to undergo maintenance soon.
We noticed that the High Rock Spring feature pool at Saratoga Springs had a lot more guests visiting than we usually see when we visit.

Saratoga Springs Merchandise Updates
Aaaand back over to The Artist’s Palette to check in on merchandise.
The Artist’s Palette
We spotted a super cute display out like we’ve seen elsewhere, encouraging guests to “Celebrate the New Year with Fun for the Entire Family.” Guests can stock up on 2021 merch, puzzles, and games!
And there you have it! That’s everything new at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa today! We’ll check in again soon.
