The Grandstand section has a really cool water play area for the kids but the pool isn't zero entry. But they are the first bus stop pick up going to the parks and the first drop off coming home from the parks. That is a huge plus for us personally. You are also less than a 10 min walk to the main pool in the Springs section & the main building with the food & boat to DtD.
Congress Park is walking distance to DtD with a really nice quiet pool.
The Paddocks have a great new pool that is zero entry with a nice water play area for the kids along with quick service dining. I'm not sure what order this section falls for bus pick up.
The Springs section is in the middle of it all, the food, main pool, spa, community hall, etc. But it's the last bus stop pick up. So, the bus may have no seats left by the time it gets there or may already be full and pass you by. We have seen this happen but that also depends on time of year, time of day and park.
The best part of SSR is you can use any of the pools and you have great ones to choose from no matter what section you are staying in. The quiet pool at Congress Park has the best views of DtD! Anyway, if I were you, I would pick the Grandstand section.
Have a great time! We are
