SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

[kes601]

I booked (rented points) a one bedroom for April because I thought all one bedroom had Murphy bed and trundle bed. I have two teenagers. Is this not true?

They should all have them. OP stated they stayed in May, this was prior to the refurb being done so not all rooms would have had them at that point in time.

I think it is only a few here and there that don't. I wish I remembered my room number but I did post it in a Saratoga Facebook group shortly after we got back. There was one other poster that had the same thing. It was Grandstand, Building right next to the pool. Definitely fully refurbished room at the time, brand new. Not an accessible room or anything else majorly different about it. But it definitely did not have the trundle bed 5th sleeper. ETA: it did have a connecting door in the living room on the far right when looking at the TV, which is why there wasn't enough room for the trundle. The first room did not have a connecting door there.

They do all have pull down beds. This was completed around or before October. Perhaps you / kids just didn’t notice it. You pull down above the couch and the couch collapses.

Yes, you are right, the couch was a pull down. I misspoke - I meant to say there was no 5th sleeper in a studio, which for some reason I thought there would be. My mistake.

So you are saying "trundle" bed which is something that would pull out from under another bed. I'm referring to the smaller than twin bed that should flip down from the console under the TV. I'm not understanding how a door to the right of the TV would prevent this from being in the room. Just confused so seeking clarification.

It's the 5th sleeper under the TV that was missing, not trundle. My first room before I moved had it and second one didn't. The second one bedroom only slept 4. King in bedroom and Murphy in living room. There was a small skinny console like table under the TV instead.

Odd. Curious if maybe they ran out of the fold down beds and replaced (or will replace) once back available.

There is no 5th sleeping space in a SSR studio. The small fold down was put in 1 and 2 bedrooms at SSR. My point from above is that if DVC wants to remove them from SSR 1 and 2 bedrooms. They should also remove them from BWV, BCV and BRV studios. Those studios are basically the same size and layout of SSR studios and are all within 1-3 square feet. Those studios were originally a queen size bed and a sofa bed. No fold down bed under the TV. They did not put them in the 1 and 2 bedrooms at those resorts (BWV has no dedicated 2 bedrooms all lock offs). SSR and most other 1 bedrooms are rated for 5 to sleep plus 1 child under 3 years of age. So adding the small fold down bed makes sense. SSR owners paid for this to be added and if DVC were to remove it, they should have to credit the owners for the removal and they, themselves pay all the labor. I just cannot find a reason to remove them. They have been installed in at least 6 other DVC resorts. Remove it from one, I say remove them from all. They probably cannot remove them from VGF, PVB and RIV, I do not own any of those and I would suspect it is written in the contract, just like OKW will have 2 queen beds.

Are there any rooms in the Springs section that overlook the main pool?

Doesn’t appear so. You can see room views from the link below.

No. The closest rooms in The Springs are across Broadway..

Are they still doing morning yoga at SSR? We will be there last week of February

 

[NALA 24]

Later this week, we will be staying at SSR for the first time. Do they sell cases or 12 packs of bottled water at the gift shop or quick service area? We were able to purchase the bottled water at POP the last time we were there.

Thank you.

I can’t specifically state for SSR, but we have not seen the multi-packs of water since July of ‘21. We were back in September and December and there were no multi-packs anywhere.

Does the resort have rules regarding only being able to park near where your villa is located? Or for example, if my villa is in one of the non-preferred locations, could we actually park our car at Congress park for example to make it easier to walk over to Disney Springs.

If there are rules against that, I don’t know about them. I have done that previously. I just didn’t park too close to where the elevators for those rooms would be.

We did this all the time when we were there in July. I don't know of any rule against it either.

Once you're in the gate, no one checks where you go or where you park. As above, just be considerate of those who are actually staying there.

Just went to do my online check in for a stay in February. We have a standard studio and love the Paddock area. However, in the options for room location during check in, the Paddock area was not available. All I could pick from was Grandstand, Near Pool or Near Bus Stop. I know I've requested Paddock in the past. Did something change?

You are better off having MS put a note on your reservation to request The Paddock rather than using MDE.
