Reservations have opened for the 2017 calendar year and the Disney Vacation Club online booking system is not yet reflecting changes to one resort's point structure.
Beginning in 2017, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will offer two different room categories: Standard and Preferred. However, members looking to book for January '17 will find that the website configuration is not entirely complete.

Saratoga Springs Standard category?
The site does appear to be presenting Standard rooms correctly. Point values shown match Standard values shown on the charts DVC distributed in December 2015. However there is no mention of the rooms being in the Standard booking category.
A second option appears to reflect the Preferred point values but no room inventory is currently available.
Saratoga Springs Preferred category?
Members are asked to keep an eye on the website for a fix to the booking issue.
Rooms located in Congress Park and The Springs will be part of the Preferred category beginning in 2017. All Preferred villas experienced an increase in nightly point costs compared to the prior rates. Standard rooms are located in The Paddock, The Grandstand and The Carousel, and will be available for a lower nightly rate than in 2016 and prior.
