Just how bad is the CS location at SSR? And the location, we will have a car, so if you are at the most far out location there, would it be better to drive?
Its located in the same building where you check-in. Driving there is sometimes a problem because there isn't that much convenient parking there. If you've got a car, you might consider driving just off property to 535 where you'll find just about any dining experience you can think of at prices that are much cheaper than Disney.
We like the CS @ SSR for quick pickups. The breakfasts are great if you are on the DDP because the complete adult breakfast comes with eggs, meat, waffle, potatoes (I think) and a large drink. DW and I split one and thats plenty to keep us going until lunch.
Flatbreads (American Pizza??) aren't bad for a snack. If you are far away from Main building you definitely want to drive there.
