I hope not, we really like Raglan Rd. and HOB.

This is really going to make me think about selling my DVC. We're 2 adults, no kids. PI is always part of our trip.

I know this will be disappointing for many! We have never been, so It really doesn't matter to us. We don't even know what we have been missing!

This will be our 1st time at SSR and wondering if there is a certain location that is better than others? We will have a studio unit if this makes a difference. Thanks!

I'm sure that is true for many people. PI was always great if we were going on a non-park trip. That may not happen again now.

We stayed for our first time last Aug. and our 2nd in Nov. We stayed in Congress Park in Aug. and loved the easy access to DTD. We loved our stay in the Grand Stand in Nov..we were next to the that pool and a quick walk to the main bldg. Both are great....as is the SPRINGS SECTION. It is close to main bldg and the Springs Pool with the slide. Have fun.

Everyone will have their own opinion about this. We've only stayed in The Springs & The Grandstand. The Springs is closest to the main pool, restaurant, store etc... The Grandstand, on the golf course, also has a themed pool & bar and isnt far from the main bldg. I can't really offer an opinion on the other sections yet.

Thanks for all the replies! I think I will ask for the Springs building since we have a 7yo that will be in the pool lots!

Great time. Great resort... glad we picked it. The only negative was the buses. Bad, Bad, Bad. We had to call the front desk to get a bus over to the stop 3 times, after waiting 40 minutes. But that didn't deter us from having a great time. Great pool... good food... great cast members!

I started a thread with some of my pictures... I'll try to add more as time permits.

Glad to hear you had a great trip! Unfortunately, the buses seem to be an issue at many of the resorts since they revamped their system.

Earlier this month at OKW, we had bus issues every day. I could tell the bus drivers were getting sick of hearing guests' complaints.

My three children (16, 12, & 11) will be going to SSR Dec. 19 - 24. The only other time we stayed there, we were in the Paddock section. I have requested Grandstand this time.

• How easy/far is the walk to WestSide?
• Is the Grandstand pool bar open in December?
• Is there are hot tub? If not, where is the nearest one?
• Is the water play area operating in December?

It depends on which bldg you're in for the walk to westside. Obviously if you're in one of the 2 bldg's that is accross the parking lot it's a little longer. But as you pass the main bldg and go over the bridge, you're in the WS parking lot in <5 minutes.
Yes the pool bar is open in dec
There is a hot tub by all the pools
Yes the water play area will be operating.

We're going in Dec also. We requested the Springs or GS

GrandStand building 8500!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~

WOW...exactly the one I hope we get! Though we've only stayed in CP, that building looks like it has it all. Now I'm sorry I just requested Grandstand...but maybe we'll get lucky!

Are you still there...or have you moved on to VB? That's in our sights for late next spring!
