The arrival and departure locations have recently changed for Downtown Disney boats servicing two Disney Vacation Club resorts.  

Allears.net contributor Jack Spence has published the first two parts in a look at The Disney Institute and its eventual replacement Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.  Those familiar with Saratoga Springs will particularly enjoy looking back at The Disney Institute to see what has--and has not--changed as the property morphed into a Disney Vacation Club destination.  

Part One and Part Two are currently available on Allears.net.  

The Turf Club Bar and Grill at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will soon reduce its offerings to one meal per day.
