Thank you. We’ve fallen in love with SSR. Stayed again in Feb 2020 and was so impressed with the refurb. Fantastic location. We are hoping to return in 2021 and will splurge on a grand villa to use up banked points. Hoping a standard will be available at the Sven month mark, as I need to pool some AK points with SSR points. I’ll even have enough points to book a std studio to gift to a friend.
I just did my online check in for Jan. Stand view SSR studio. It only allowed selecting Grandstand, near pool, first floor....something like that. Did not show Paddock or Carousel for some reason. Either a glitch or they intentionally took those off because they are the sections with closed buildings being renovated (so they have less rooms in use than typically). I just asked MS to put in request for a renovated room. Considered doing a TP room request too but my membership will expire during trip and they are asking me to renew in order to do room request.
All studios connect to a 1BR.
As of the second week of January - yes and yes. There were at least one or two buildings at each being worked on, and the Carousel section was closed. Looked like they were staging stuff, getting ready to start work.
During the week of Jan 10-16 the two eastern buildings of The Paddock were still closed, there was also a lot of construction for an underground cable and the top boards from the walkway across the pond were being removed. The middle Paddock building was completely open, refurbished and wonderful. Carousel had construction vehicles in the parking lots during the day. During online App checkin only Grandstand and Carousel were listed as available but the actual room assignment put us in a refurbished 1 bedroom at Paddock. Your mileage may vary.
Studios still 4, 1 bedrooms 5
Yes.
