One (wonderful) Night Stay at SSR!

[BlakeNJ]

I just got back from BCV and wondered if I would be as excited to stay again at SSR. Lucky for us, we stayed at SSR for one night this week. Boy, do I really love my home resort.

We (crammed) into a studio. We were in the Grandstand Section, room 9601. On the very end of the building. We are spoiled and have only stayed in a 2br. We are 2 adults, two children and an infant. We really need the space. Space was not an issue. The pack and play fit just fine after a little re-arranging of the table and chairs. I did noticed a little wear and tear on the room--thanks to a not-so-considerate previous occupant. They hung something on the wall using clear tac and when they removed whatever it was they hung up, pulled paint off the wall. It looked terrible. Wonder why it has not been fixed?

We had a great view of the THV from our balcony and one TH had lights on inside. We wondered if someone (CM) was staying in it. We also notice a construction area to the left of building 9100 that clearly seemed to be the construction of a pathway--possibly connecting the THV to SSR???? The path seemed to go around the back of the building--from there, I am not sure where it went or was to go.

We spent the day at the Grandstand pool. It wasn't too crowded considering the main pool is still closed for rehab. My kids really enjoyed the splash area and didn't miss the slide.

Overall the resort looked great. Very clean and well manicured. Staff was very nice and quick to help (called for a pack and play and they were up in less than 10 minutes!). I went on a nice run the next morning and I think I'd like to stay in the Paddock Section in the future. The view of the lake and bridge is so pretty and you can't beat watching the beautiful swans float around!

We checked out around 10am and headed over to the Poly to rent a boat. Not realizing the lake doesn't open up to rentals until 11am, the kids and I headed over to MK. Went back and rented our boat a little after 4pm. We rented a 21' boat and had so much fun!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the mini-review.

We'll be staying at SSR for the first time in just under 2 weeks. I'm glad to see that you had no problems using a studio with 5 in your family, as that's what we (2 adults and 1 child) will be staying in for our upcoming trip.

I'm glad that the THV are visible from the rest of the resort, as I'd like to check them out a little. I really want to book one for our trip next year.

I've requested grandstand as our first choice for my 4/6 checkin--hope we get it!

You will love it! The Paddock looked nice too--so did Congress Park overlooking DTD. If you can get out early in the am, it is so nice and peaceful and makes a great walk over to Artist Palate to grab breakfast of a coffee!

You will have plenty of room! I think we could stand a studio even for a longer amount of time. I think I'd miss the washer/dryer and full kitchen but I'd make do. You can make lots of stuff for breakfast/lunch in the little kitchenette.
