4 theme parks, 2 water parks, and a themed retail, dining, and entertainment center called Disney Springs provides endless choices for you to spend your vacation. It is very easy to feel overwhelmed with all the options. Guests want to make certain they maximize their time and have the opportunity to enjoy everything on their wish list! I have often heard guests say they need a vacation from their vacation!
When you plan a vacation, most are intending to take a break from the hustle and bustle of work and routine. However, we often forget the rest and relaxation part of vacation when visiting Walt Disney World. There are many options for fun and unique activities to bring the R & R back to your vacation.
- Spa services: Who doesn’t enjoy a relaxing manicure, pedicure, facial or a massage? Spa services can be scheduled at Saratoga Springs Resort and the Grand Floridian Resort
