As the Disney Vacation Club Treehouse Villas move toward a summer 2009 opening, DVC has re-opened point sales at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
Treehouse development re-opens sales at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort
As crews move full-speed ahead on the development of the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, sales have officially re-opened at the largest resort in the Disney Vacation Club neighborhood. Vacation Club Guides are now taking calls from Members looking to Add On at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort as its highly anticipated new "branch" takes shape.
Now coming together like giant 3-D puzzles, all 60 "treehouses" are scheduled to open simultaneously this summer. The distinctive octagonal abodes, each complete with its own private sundeck, is elevated 10 feet off the ground on pedestals and beams designed to blend into the environment.
Each three-bedroom, two-bath villa will sleep nine, with a queen bed in two bedrooms, a pair of bunks in the third bedroom, and a cathedral-ceiling living room furnished with a queen-size sofa bed and twin sleeper chair. Other planned features include an open kitchen equipped with an island sink and bar area offering seating for three, a separate dining table with seating for six and, like any good treehouse, plenty of flat-panel TVs.
Walt Disney Imagineering's Interior Design team is outfitting the homes with what it calls a "cabin casual" style. From wilderness-inspired flooring and Tuscan bronze fixtures to richly stained woodwork and custom-painted finishes, the selected colors, textures and materials are designed to complement the villas' tranquil forest setting.
"It's really going to be an amazing place," Imagineer Todd Thomasson told Disney Files Magazine. "I was lucky enough to have a treehouse as a kid, but it was certainly nothing like this. In developing this resort, we've all learned the word 'glamping.' Apparently, that means glamorous camping. This is going to be glamping at its best."
