I’m in the same boat staying at a preferred in July. We booked for 7 nights dvc. First time staying at SSR. I’d rather be close to the main pool. Walk to DS isn’t a big deal. We just got back from the Poly last week, I requested two buildings through online check in but got neither. Any tips on how to get the area you want through dvc at SSR and which areas are best?
I have owned at SSR since the beginning. I haven't always stayed there, but I feel like around 90% of my stays I have got my request. They are one of the best resorts for that.
And it is not as difficult for them as it is a huge resort
Online check-in will make your odds even better. I would put an early time for arrival, even if you are not arriving early. They can't give the room to someone else if it has already been texted/emailed to you.
As someone from the uk and doesn't want to drive and instead rely on disney transport wouls you say SSR is a valid resort choice? It seems massive and almost like we would need a car to simply transport our luggage from checkin to our room potentially?
I have never had a car at SSR. Someone has already told you that Bell Services will take you over to your room. But just in case you don't know there is an internal bus system as well. I don't think I have ever used it, but it is there.
