Saratoga Springs-Room Suggestion Pls

[Girlstar30]

If you were on the bus yes. Or you can take the short walk to the lobby. And if you want, you can also just get on the bus stop there at the Carriage House (the Springs) and off you go! I've been told that the bus gets crowded sometimes before it reaches the carriage house. I did not notice this when we were there in December, always plenty of room on the bus. In all honesty, the bus loop is not as terrible as most make it out to be. We boarded at Grandstand and we're on our way to MK in under 15 mins. We got on the bus by 7am and were inside MK at 7:25am lol Granted, I did not experience any scooters getting on during our stay, those could slow the process a bit.

I am actually one of those weirdos that prefers the bus over boat and doesn't mind the bus at all so I dont think the bus system would bother me at all.

I always park at toy story lot over mickey and friends at disneyland because we prefer the bus transport and seems like the walk isn't bad when we're in a rush to go to SSR lobby!

Well-timed thread! I just found out that I have to add a day to an upcoming trip, and it appears that SSR may be all that's available. Never stayed there so I'm very interested in recommendations.

The first question is, did you book Preferred or Standard? Those categories refer to neighborhood, not view. Preferred will be either Congress Park or Springs, whereas Standard is Grandstand, Carousel, or Paddock. Each has its relevant characteristics and guidance on villa requests!

We prefer Paddock over Grandstand because two of the Grandstand buildings are quite a bit further than the others and you could get put there.

Also, we really like the Paddock pool.

Which area would you say has the best views?

Stayed there last week and was in the Paddock. Walk to Carriage House was pretty quick but also enjoyed that I could use my refillable mug at the pool at Paddock even before it was open for swimming.

Golf Course View I'd say Grandstand. For water view/fancy view Congress Park since rooms face Disney Springs.

The first stop is at Grandstand, second is Carousel, third is Paddock, fourth is Congress Park, fifth and last is The Springs.

Thanks for the correction. It’s been a while since we stayed at SSR but I knew one of the reasons we chose those buildings was because that second stop was right outside the door.

Yes! One more reason we really like it there.
