Many SSR Questions

[Hollymom1229]

Just made our reservations for our first trip home and had a bunch of questions.
We have a 2 BDR at SSR for next October and was wondering how roomy it is as we will have 6 adults in the villa?
Also, I saw in a picture that in the second bath they have a bar to hold onto in the shower. Is this standard or was the picture of a handicapped bathroom?
Next, how much is a cab to the nearest grocery store or would we be better off having a grocery service deliver as all we really need is juice, milk and fruit?
Lastly, how bad is the walk from the various areas to the main pool and Artists Palette? My MIL wants to walk as much as possible this trip and I'd rather her not have to walk more than a few minutes to most stuff at the resort itself.
Thanks for all your help and I know I'll have more questions over the next few months.

We have a 2 BDR at SSR for next October and was wondering how roomy it is as we will have 6 adults in the villa?

Two Bedroom villas are almost 1100 square feet. That's about 3x the size of a standard room at a WDW Deluxe resort and 4x the size of a Moderate room.

Assuming you have a dedicated 2B, you will have a king-sized bed in one bedroom, two queen-sized beds in the second bedroom and a pull-out sofabed in the living room.

Also, I saw in a picture that in the second bath they have a bar to hold onto in the shower. Is this standard or was the picture of a handicapped bathroom?

Probably standard. If it were a handicapped-accessible room it wouldn't have had a bath tub. HA bathrooms have showers only and are designed so that a wheelchair can roll into the room.

Next, how much is a cab to the nearest grocery store or would we be better off having a grocery service deliver as all we really need is juice, milk and fruit?

If that's all you need just buy it from the resort general store. For a cab you're looking at $30 round-trip. Delivery services have their own fees. You'll pay more than grocery store prices by purchasing at the resort, but it will still be less than the other options.

Lastly, how bad is the walk from the various areas to the main pool and Artists Palette?

From the furthest rooms it's about 5-6 minutes at a leisurely pace. If you don't want to walk you can easily take a bus. There are multiple bus stops around the resort and the last stop on the bus loop is right near the main pool. Board any theme park bus at the closest stop to your room and you can easily disembark at the pool stop. Before boarding just double-check with the driver that he will be stopping by the pool before heading out.
