Back in the late 1800s, New York’s Saratoga County, known for its mineral springs and horse racing, became a choice getaway for fashionable society. Two centuries later, on May 17, 2004, it was possible to visit the posh and luxurious getaway of the 1800s once again when Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa opened at Walt Disney World. The Disney Deluxe Villa Resort opened for business with equestrian themes and Victorian styling, and today the resort continues to stay true to its roots as an elite destination with the Treehouse Villas, opening later this year. These stand-alone structures — elevated 10 feet off the ground on pedestals and beams — are nestled unobtrusively into natural glens alongside the Sassagoula River.
