Info on Spas
I was thinking about treating my wife to a full spa treatment on the next trip, massage, pedicure, manicure the works! I over did the parks on our last trip so I want to really show DW another side of WDW. Has anyone been to the spa at WDW or had a massage there? Is so how was it and which one did you visit? Any info or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Info on Spas
I've been to both the spa at the Boardwalk and the Spa at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I know Muscles and Bustles (BW) doesn't do full service, just massages and honestly I didn't find it that impressive of an atmosphere. Let me tell you however, the spa at AKL was AMAZING!!! I don't know if they do manicures and pedicures but the spa rooms were BEAUTIFUL and SO peaceful. It's a REALLY relaxing place that totally transforms you to another world. I love it there.

Re: Info on Spas
The spa at AKL IS amazing--I agree with Wishy! I've also checked out the spa at Saratoga Springs and wasn't all that impressed.

Re: Info on Spas
The spa at the Dolphin resort is absolutely gorgeous! It's the Mandara Spa, one of three in the world. I toured through there and I could stayed in there forever. It is a Bali-themed full service spa. Absolutely incredible! I have never heard any complaints about it (well except those who aren't prepared to pay, but that's how it is with any spa on Disney property).

Re: Info on Spas
I am so glad to see this! I am going to the Dolphin in October and plan to go to that spa then, for the 5 hour package!
I was not so impressed with the Grand Floridian spa, hate to say it but the Canyon Ranch at another resort up a little on I-4 was nicer. Sorry

Re: Info on Spas
The Mandara Spa looks beautiful in the pictures, but I thought the price list was exhorbitant there. I'll stick with the WDW spas instead.

Re: Info on Spas
I can't wait till our next trip. I'm going to completely surprise her with this. I plan on dropping her off at the spa for a few hours, the girls and I will go hit the park or pool and pick her up later.
