Evoking a sense of adventure that makes kids feel more like grownups and grownups feel more like kids, the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa combines a dash of luxury and comfort with the nostalgic memories of a childhood fortress.

Walt Disney World's Long History of Treehouse Living

A cherished Walt Disney World tradition from 1975-2002, the original octagonal treehouse villas were built on pedestals in forested glens, offering Guests breathtaking treetop views of the natural surroundings.

When designing the new Treehouse Villas accommodations, Disney Imagineers went to great lengths to ensure that the new villas would actually lessen the original villas' footprint. As a result, Disney Imagineers were able to reduce encroachment on the surrounding wetlands by 70 percent for each individual home site.

Treehouse Villas' Unique Construction Process

Rather than heading to the nearest hardware store to purchase a few 2 x 4's and a handful of nails, Disney Imagineers will break the typical treehouse mold with the construction of the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. The construction process itself is unique, as crews assembled all 60 vacation homes onsite like a giant 3-D puzzle,

Treehouse Living With All the Comforts of Home

Designed in a style decreed "cabin casual," the Treehouse Villas offer much more than the rope ladder and snack stash typically found in childhood treehouses. Elevated 10 feet off the ground, these villas offer three bedrooms and two baths while comfortably accommodating up to nine Guests. An open kitchen boasts an island sink and a counter area offering seating for three, while a separate dining table seats up to six. In addition, flat-screen TVs are found in the living room and each bedroom, giving Guests an opportunity to catch up on the day's latest news stories or favorite TV shows while relaxing after a fun-filled day at Disney's theme parks. Throw in cathedral ceilings and granite countertops for a treehouse that surpasses every childhood expectation.
