Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villas: Opening Day – Photos and Exclusive Video Tour Inside

Hi everyone!

I just returned from a very busy schedule at Walt Disney World. I attended and recorded the first two Star Wars Weekends plus covered American Idol winner Kris Allen’s visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Jim Hill Media (my article is HERE). I also recorded footage for upcoming DVD titles featuring the Animal Kingdom Lodge and Kidani Village. Finally, the trip ended with the special D23 Flowers and Fireworks event Sunday night at Epcot so be sure to check back for a full report soon!

Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villas: Opening Day Photos 6/1/09

I had the great honor of being one of the first to visit inside a newly-opened Treehouse Villa at Walt Disney World’s Saratoga Springs. June 1st was opening day – the treehouse villas had been soft-opening for a week or two. I’d already had the opportunity to visit the property previously and to talk with an Imagineer and designer of the new villas.
