Enjoyed SSR Very Much

[conandrob240]

Stayed 2 nts at SSR this past weekend and was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very nice resort with a great pool. Rooms were spotless, well-decorated and the walk to DTD was very convenient and pleasant. Our room was ready for check-in when we arrived at 1pm. Bell services were very helpful and the counter food restaurant (Artists's Palette) was very good. Bus service was prompt and frequent. We stayed in Congress Park with a view of DTD. If I stayed again, I would pick the Springs just so we could be close to the main pool & lobby area. The only downside to this resort, for us, was how huge it is. I generally prefer a more intimate resort. But it is a lovely option when our home resorts are not available.

Glad to hear you enjoyed you stay. Some negatives about SSR lately. Good to hear the positives too ! We won't be back there until March but so looking forward to our GV stay...

Thanks for posting a positive review. I suspect the majority of DVC'ers have positive experiences but don't post - the posts that get all the attention are the complaints. We are excited about our first DVC trip down to SSR next month!

My DD and I just got back from SSR yesterday. We are new to DVC and this was our first visit home. Pretrip I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews but we LOVED it. Except for a 40 minute wait time for a bus on Saturday (I'm not complaining as the rest of the bus waits were less then 5 minutes) the vacation was perfect.

We were in the Grandstand section in the 9400 building and I totally enjoyed sitting on our balcony in the morning with my cup of coffee overlooking the golf course. Yes, the resort is big but it is not that big as compared to other resorts. On Monday morning I took a leisurely walk from one end to the other without a sweat. I am going in May for 11 days with my DS and pretrip thought that I would switch at the 7 month mark but no way. SSR is "home" for us and I can't wait to go back!

Glad you enjoyed SSR! We are going back for our 4th time this month. It has its own special qualities that I enjoy when we are there. And I agree the pool is great! It is my 7 year old's favorite!

I LOVE SSR!

We are owners at SSR but have only stayed there once. Last year we stayed at OKW and I was so disappointed. I much preferred SSR - maybe because it was newer, but alsob/c I loved Artists Palette as opposed to the food available at OKW.

The year before that we stayed at BCV and while the proximity to Epcot was great I still much prefer the outdoor entrances to SSR. The long hallways and elevator rides just did not cut it for me at BCV. That and sharing a bus or boat with the BW, Swan, and Dolphin made every trip take forever....

This trip, provided IKE stays away, we will also try BWV and VWL so now I get to see if I have a new favorite. We'll see. .
