Help!! Anyone???

There is a DTD view in the Congress Park section of SSR. Just have her call back and ask to put in a location request for DTD view. Or she could just ask for DTD view at check-in.

Kimberh, Congress Park is the section that offers the best chance of DTD views. However, not all rooms have a view of DTD. On my first stay, I had a view of the beeeeyootiful bus stop! On the other hand, I've had great views of DTD on all stays since then.

Help!! Anyone???

Here is a map of SSR that might help

The majority of the rooms in Congress Park have a DTD view. If your daughter wants to be close to the main pool & restaurants then the Springs is closest. The newest section is Grandstand which has a nice pool area and is reasonably close to the main pool / restaurants (depending which building).

My wife and I are new owners of SSR as of 2006. This September will be our first time actually staying at a DVC resort. We are staying at SSR, I was windering if the pools have any specific hours...and if so, are they really enforced? We like to come back to the hotel and swim for a few hours after a day at the parks. We were at pore orleans riverside last year and the "smaller pools" were always lit up so go swimming, but the big theme pool closed and nobody could go in it. Please enlighten me.

Thank you sooo much! She is planning a surprise Birthday for her husband!

We stayed in Grandstand in June - the pool closed at 10pm, but it was lit up all night, and you could get in the gate. I saw a few people in there late a couple of times. The kids water play area lights were off, I believe, and all of the water features in that area were off at night. We loved this pool area so much we never made it to the main pool!

Help!! Anyone???

Last summer we stayed in CP, room 1325 which was a 1 bedroom. We had an awesome view of DTD. We were directly across from Fulton's but could pretty much see all of DTD. It was also a quick, convenient walk away from there as well as from the DTD bus depot which is great for "directly" to other resorts.

We have plans to go the end of Sept. (I again requested CP). It is a bit of a walk from the main pool area at SSR but I just drove over there when we went to the "main" pool. We prefer being closer to DTD.

Hi all! I posted this question in another forum, then found all you lovely SSR fans and figured I'd ask you since you should know! On the old maps for SSR (when it was just The Springs and Congress Park), the walkway from mear the boat dock was clearly marked as a path to PI and DD West End. Now that the resort is built out, the only walkway to DD that is marked is the one along the river in Congress Park, toward the Marketplace. The bridge is still shown on the map, just not marked as a path. My question is, is it still an accessible way to get to DD from the Grandstand/Carriage House/Springs area? Thanks for your help; will be there in 3 weeks and really looking forward to seeing SSR for the first time!

Yes, the path by the boat landing is still there. Once you cross the bridge, you bear to the right. Its not a bad walk to the west side.

I thought you bear to your left and that takes you to West End parking lot

The path runs along the lake, to the parking lot and over to West side attractrions.

So is there a way to get to the west end of DTD from SSR? I thought there might be but I asked someone at SSR and they said NO. YOu either walked from Congress or took the boat. Please explain? Thanks

Here's a pic:

Starting at the boat dock, you walk to the right, across the bridge, then stay left past the one hole on the golf course and you arrive at the West End parking lot. The sidewalk continues around the lot on the lakeside to near House of Blues and Cirque du Soliel.

WOW I knew it. I told my family when we were at the boat dock waiting for the boat right behind House of Blues (we had eaten there) that I bet we could walk there from there. I saw the parking lot and really thought we can get there. Then when we took the boat to the the Market Place and got onto the other boat to SSR it was a long time. I asked someone...can't remember who....boat driver maybe and whoever it was told us that bridge was part of of the golf course.

SO how long a walk is it? We took the path a few times from Congress park to Market Place but then you had to walk to West Side for Disney Quest or the restaurants we were eating at.
