We’ve got a word of warning if you’re planning an upcoming visit to Disney World.
The Paddock Pool, aquatic play area, and The Paddock Grill at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort will be closing in October for routine maintenance. We’ve got all the details, so let’s get into it!
Heads up if you’ve got an upcoming stay planned at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort. Beginning on October 13th, The Paddock Pool, the splash pad area, and The Paddock Grill will all be closed for routine maintenance. The Disney World website indicates that they will remain closed through early December, but no official opening date has been announced.
The Paddock Pool is home to a 146-foot-long waterslide that flows from a water tower, and the nearby Paddock Grill is home to some classic pool fare like burgers, hot dogs, and more.
Luckily, you won’t be totally out of luck when it comes to pools at this hotel. In addition to The Paddock Pool, the High Rock Spring Pool features waterfalls, zero-depth entry, and a 128-foot-long waterslide. The nearby On the Rocks Pool Bar offers drinks and eats.
There are also three leisure pools with whirlpool spas at the Treehouse Villas, Congress Park, and The Grandstand. While there isn’t an official end date to these closures yet, we’ll be sure to let you know once we learn more.
We’ll be on the lookout for more updates from Disney World hotels and beyond. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news!
