SSR advice - quiet(ish) place to hang out?

[earfulofmagic]

I'm flying down in a few weekends for my "welcome home" trip (i.e. using up points before they expire and an excuse to hit F&W). Late evening flight will get me into MCO Thursday night, so I'll be staying cash (Disney+ discount) at ASMo, then checking in to SSR Friday.
I've never visited SSR before -- is there a quiet (relatively speaking) place to hang out and do some work while I wait for my room to be ready? Staying in a 1br preferred villa, requested Congress Park.

Totally don't mind lounging poolside with a laptop and headphones, but, just wondering if there are any quiet nooks you can recommend! Thanks in advance.

There is an area between the check in and Artist's Palette that has couches and tables and things that is usually pretty quiet. The restrooms are right there, too.

I would hang out in the Turf club lounge area. There's several tables, regular and high top. And since it doesn't open till 4 it will be very quiet back there. Its to the left if your in the artist palette food area.

This is where we hung out for an hour or so on our last day waiting to head to the airport and it was bad weather outside. Sat at a high top table against a wall with a plug to charge up our phones and right as we were leaving it looked like a bar area was just about to open so it seemed like a nice quiet area to relax that not many people knew about.

There is another spot on the way out to the Disney Springs boat from the gift shop area. It's right before you exit the building.

Yes - and there's a pool table there, and you could sit on the patio also
