Old Moe! The 100 to one shot! He beat Snap Shot in a photo finish when Snap Shot couldn’t help but pose for the photo at the end. Classic Disney!😂

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

the whole thing is so much nicer than the old version. So clean and modern looking!!

[@HereWithTheEars]

Agreed!

[@jonny5777]

I’m pretty sure we stayed here when it opened and were pretty underwhelmed but this remodel is nice. The plug sockets integrated in the furniture and lamps is genius

[@IngefromGraz]

Stayed there with my family in 2013. The remodel is gorgeous! Thanks for this video!

[@HereWithTheEars]

We absolutely love these new rooms! ❤️

[@specialtyimportsrepair7161]

SSR is our home resort, we stayed in one of their 3 bedrooms with our family in 2018, thought it was lovely then but so much more now! Love the new hardwood flooring that replaced the ugly plaid carpet! Light and airy, beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@susanreagin8234]

Lucky you to be able to live at Disney for a year. Your videos are wonderful and very informative. I love the newly remodeled rooms. I am glad that they took the rugs out because it gives it a cleaner feeling. I also love that the beds were raised to help keep the rooms less cluttered. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Glad you’re enjoying them!

[@voyager0156]

I admit I am drooling a little bit. thank you!

[@HereWithTheEars]

You’re welcome 😃

[@cwebb0118]

I'm pretty sure the horse silhouette is Snapshot III from the short "They're Off", which is available on KZbin. 😊

[@jimbellemare7158]

Just discovered your channel. Love it! Need to show my wife, she would love to live in Disney for a year. How cool!

[@HereWithTheEars]

So glad! It's been the adventure of a lifetime!

[@thesovereignspark]

that’s like 1.5m a year right?

[@Yellowstonetim]

Love your channel! Am I the only one disappointed with the remodel? I watched both your pre-remodel tour and this tour back-to-back. I loved the rich wood and classic furniture of the older version. I also loved the romantic jacuzzi tub that opened to the bedroom. The old one seemed like a gorgeous livable classic townhouse. Guess that's just me. I did like the murphy bed and decorations.

[@HereWithTheEars]

In person, the old rooms didn’t feel as clean or fresh. Especially the carpet. It was a huge change they made, and this one definitely had a much more modern feel, but a remodel was definitely due for these rooms.

[@joec1774]

We stayed at the renovated rooms in Saratoga Springs (in the Paddock though) in Feb 2022 and we CANNOT say enough about how much the update - as well as the incredible reinvention of Disney Springs - have transformed this resort from an "also ran" to a "must stay." Especially for a stay with adults, the new, classy rooms as well as the walkable proximity to the Springs, make this one of my personal faves, and I hope others enjoy as well!

[@HereWithTheEars]

It really had changed this resort so much!

[@wakeywarrior]

First video on KZbin of a refurb and first images including photos of a 3 bed anywhere on the web- well done. Can you video a 1 bed and studio? These are the best refurbs of any rooms DVC has ever done, and Saratoga now has some of the best rooms on property. The 1 beds are also the ONLY rooms on property aside from Riviera with 5 proper sleep surfaces (no sofa bed, proper Murphy bed instead and mini Murphy under TV). Saratoga is now a go to resort for families wanting 5 proper sleep surfaces in the 1 bed. Well done DVC.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Thanks! We also love the refurb and can't wait until they're done. It's a game changer for this resort! Keep an eye out here on our channel as we should be touring the Studio, 1 Bedroom, and possible 2 Bedroom in the next few days!

[@wakeywarrior]

@@HereWithTheEars good stuff. I"ve shared your video across Disney sites, you'll have seen some spiking today in watches. I'll share the others also.

[@HereWithTheEars]

wakeywarrior Well Thank you! 😃

[@groot3737]

Will you have a remodeled studio room up by Wednesday?

[@HereWithTheEars]

Groot We don’t know. We were supposed to get the video yesterday or today, but they ended up booking up and couldn’t let us. So we’re supposed to go back Monday and Tuesday to see if we can get them then.

[@cristinbuskard9250]

NOW WITH KEURIG MACHINE!!! - I watched reviews before my April 10th 2022 Trip. We bought loose coffee thinking there would be only a Mr. Coffee Machine. (I checked many other blogs, no one had seen them yet) Our preferred 3 bedroom room had a Keurig Machine! As the sole Decaf drinker of the group, I want you to know that if you also need a Keurig for your one cup while the rest of the group drinks full caffeine - this now exists. They also stock the room with some k-cups.

[@jodistrock2765]

I’m so happy with the new look! ❤️ Thanks for the tour! I am now subscribed!

[@HereWithTheEars]

Jodi Strock We love it too! Makes such a big difference. 💕 Thanks for subscribing!

[@sallylovett1997]

Grey tour ! I wonder if that part of the couch that makes it look like an L-shaped sectional… Kind of like an ottoman piece at the end… Is movable? It would make great seating all around the room if it could be moved around. Just curious.

[@JuanRodriguez-ge5rv]

I'm guessing Boardwalk was the last resort to be remodeled that kept the Jacuzzi style Tubs in the Villas. I do LOVE the Murphy Bed though, that's really cool.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Copper Creek also has jetted tubs too, and it's newer than the Boardwalk remodel. So we're not sure how they decide who gets them and who doesn't.

[@DeniseSprung]

Thank you!!! We scheduled to stay in this room in july!!! great tour

[@HereWithTheEars]

Have a great stay!

[@nicholewatson7558]

I think the horse in the silhouette is Cyril Proudbottom from Mr Toad and Mickey’s Christmas Carol.

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

i didn't realize they started the remodel in 2019. I look forward to staying in a remodeled room in 2022.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Hope you love it! 💗

[@hloughran1]

Old Moe is Goofy’s racehorse in “They’re Off” cartoon from 1948 probably on Disney+ now

[@nanmckee54]

Nice rooms! Needs a little more color though. Pretty cold looking but I guess that's the modern look these days. And I wonder if those wood floors will be noisy if you're underneath them in another room. I guess I'll find out when I come home! I'll miss my jet tub! :(. Thanks for the video! You did a great job!

[@HereWithTheEars]

Thank you! So far the new floors haven't been too noisy in the new rooms we've stayed in if that helps. :)

[@nanmckee54]

@@HereWithTheEars Good to know! Thanks!

[@susanobrien6475]

Hi. This looks great!! I booked it. What building and room number was this view!? Outstanding. Thank you.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Unfortunately we don’t have the room number for this one, but it was in Congress Park. We hope you have a great stay and love the new remodel! 😃

[@billium14227]

Amazing video and amazing refurbishment! Were there any hidden Mickeys in those curtains???

[@HereWithTheEars]

We didn’t see any, so if there were, they were really hidden 😄

[@peterobrien2365]

This grand villa at Saratoga used to scare me cause the curtains were so creepy and the room was so ugly I'll stick to old key west even with the renovation.

[@mattcormack7705]

Do you know the status of the refurbishment these days? Have they started working on the standard rooms yet?

[@HereWithTheEars]

They have started on them. They are working on The Paddock but have not finished any at this time.

[@susanobrien6475]

I realize this was some time ago however do you remember your room number? Thank you as always.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Unfortunately we don’t for this one

[@Ditchgrl]

Hi we have reservations for a grande villa 3br 3/2020. No chance it will be refurbished? The refurbished look very clean. Thanks for any info you can give me. Do large Villas typically typically have ground level entrance? I love that huge window you showed.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Most of not all of the grand villas are on the second/third floors. It depends on whether it’s a standard or preferred room. Preferred rooms are being done first, so since most of those are done, there’s a good chance you’ll have a refurbished one. Standard rooms haven’t been touched, so those won’t be refurbished at all.

[@CruisingEngineer]

I just found your video. We will be at SSR and a Grand Villa in Congress Park Sept 2020. The remodeling looks great. Any idea how far the construction progressed before the shutdown?

[@HereWithTheEars]

They were very near the end of finishing the preferred rooms last time we were there which was shortly before they closed. All of Congress Park has been finished though. 😊

[@CruisingEngineer]

@@HereWithTheEars Thank you. I requested a preferred nearest to the walkway to DS. The video and tour were very well produced.

[@dmdrewitt]

Hey, great video. Could you let us know what camera and handheld grip you are using for filming please?

[@HereWithTheEars]

Hey David! The gimbal is the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 (we were using the 2 until a few days ago) and there's a link to that in the description. The camera is just an iPhone Xs with the stock camera app. :)

[@dmdrewitt]

Here With The Ears Perfect! Thank you,

[@wayneseccombe6509]

Great videos! How many square feet does it have, and is it 3 or 4 bathrooms??

[@HereWithTheEars]

Touringplans.com would have that info. We don’t know the square footage. It has 4 bathrooms.

[@luxuryvacationexperts]

Do you know the order of what buildings they are remodeling?

[@HereWithTheEars]

Dream Vacations | Montebello & Associates We don’t know. We can try to find out next time we’re there.

[@HereWithTheEars]

We were told they're working to finish all of Congress Park and then move to Springs. The cast member said that can always change, but as of now, the preferred sections are all supposed to be the ones being finished before moving to standard.

[@dawnswain7989]

Is the remodel complete?

[@HereWithTheEars]

No, the refurbishment is scheduled to be complete at some point in 2021, but we don't yet know how the shutdown will affect that timeline. The "Preferred" buildings in Congress Park and part of Springs were complete before the shutdown, but they still have all of the "Standard" rooms to go.

[@awesomemom6905]

can a person who is not a DVC member stay in one of those?

[@HereWithTheEars]

Yes. The studio, one bed and two bed can be booked on Disney’s website. For the grand villas, you normally have to call in because they often don’t make it on the website.

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

i wonder why they stuck that big piece of furniture in the living room instead of another little murphy bed under the tv

[@gloriasteele4397]

I could live there.

[@HereWithTheEars]

Gloria Steele Right? It’s a house on its own!

[@andreacunningham5832]

The murphy bed is so cool pull out beds KINDA SUCKS N THEY ALWAYS SEEM DIRTY SORRY TO SAY THAT !! DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THEY SEEM DIRTY?? LET ME NO PLZ

[@HereWithTheEars]

Many of the rooms have been remodeled in the last year or two, so the pullout beds are newer. They also usually have a cover on the mattress as well as the sheets. The older pullout beds that haven’t been remodeled can seem “dirty” but Disney works hard to keep everything looking nice and keeping it clean, so it’s not often you’ll actually find a dirty pullout couch because they replace things when they break or become dirty.

[@andreacunningham5832]
