Pedicure at Disney compared to home

[nngrendel]

Wife has been trying to decide if she wants to spend the $$ to go to The Spa and Saratoga Springs Resort. She wants to know how they compare to a Pedicure locally. Yes we know its Disney but is it really worth it? What extra do they do at Saratoga that you just cant get at home??

My experience has been they are pretty much the same as you get at home at a higher end salon. That being said I usually splurge and get one while at Disney, cause I'm on vacation and I rarely treat myself to a manicure or pedicure unless on vacation.

I always do the mani and pedi a day before my trip. I did the mani/pedi at Disney, years ago, and felt I should have saved the money and had then done at home, and put the money towards a facial or massage.

I always get those taken care of before a vacation.

I have never had one at WDW but I like to have my toes done for the trip so I get it done before hand. Also, looking at the prices, they are more spa priced pedicures, then my local nail place which I find does better pedicures then the fancy spas.

I get mines done before I go.

 

[nngrendel]

Thanks for the advise everyone! Wife says shes just going to save the money and use it toward things to bring home.

I get mines done before I go.

Hahah. Hatter.

Hmm... I usually get a pedicure after the trip...with all of the walking, my feet are so sore and the toe nail polish gets completely destroyed between the water rides and swimming, constant rubbing on my shoe, and toe stubs from weaving in and out of strollers. So, maybe get one on the day you leave?

I get one before I go and this year I decided to go full "Disney".

 

[rsoxguy]

I had mine done at the Saratoga Springs Resort. I just thought that they would do a better job, it being Disney and all...

@mdrongowski, that's some talented manicurist you've got there. I have Winnie-the-Pooh rub-ons for nails...

Dude, don't you think that photo belongs in the "Things that gross you out at WDW" thread???

Do you really think so? Perhaps I should ask for a refund.

She is that. She does it all free hand.

 

[maryszhi]

its wayyyyy less expensive to do them at a salon back home then there. its ridiculously overpriced, but then again it is disney. they do an amazing job, but the cost bites.

Wow! That's awesome...and to think I was just going to be content with Minnie Polka Dots

Me too...and its more a time thing for me...I don't like to stop much when I am at the parks.

 

[mdrongowski]

I would rather get a massage at one of the spas than pay for a mani-pedi, especially since my own manicurist is so talented..
