Strolled around SSR tonight. Beautiful place. Ate at the Turf Club- one of the best meals I have had at Disney. Delicious.
Great club feel in the area outside of Turf Cluf- people were gathered watching the Olympics and having drinks, playing pool- really fun atmosphere.
Walking along the river in front of Congress Park is lovely.

Now that sounds like a wonderful evening!

That sounds great. We are at SSR for the first time in early December and I can't wait.

How easy is it to get reservations? I have some ADR's made, but was hoping The Turf Club could wait till we are there.

I think it is one of the easier places to get reservations, I am not sure about early December though.

It was really nice. We finished up our evening by strolling over to DTD and having a couple of pints at Raglan Road. We loved the Irish musicians and the Irish dancer. So talented all of them. I hope when they re-do the Pleasure Island area there are more fun options like that. ie: Karaoke bar, Jazz club...

That's my most favourite part of our trip. The lazy walks that end up at Raglan Road! When we were there in March, we sat at the bar and the bartender let us sample what was on tap. He had tiny little beer glasses and gave us some quick info on each one.

We also love to get up early and take the walking path to OKW for breakfast. You walk along the water and even see the Tree House Villas. I look forward to the no park stays the most.

Just switched our reservation for Jan 4-10 from OKW to SSR. Just DW and myself staying in a 1BR. Not concerned about what section we're in, just wanting to try out a different resort. We are excited about SSR.

Just found out that our SSR resale closed this week! We are sooo excited to be members. Looking forward to all the strolls everyone is talking about! We find ourselves spending more time every trip at DTD, so I think SSR will be great for us.

Bumping this thread because our October WL came through. We WL'd our entire stay at any DVC and surprise, surprise, we got SSR. We are VERY EXCITED though as we haven't stayed at SSR before.

OK SSR owners, help me out. We're headed for our first trip 'home' in a couple weeks. We will have a car, and plan to go grocery shopping. What is the closest/best place to shop from SSR? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The closest is Goodings at the Crossroads shopping center (located at the end of Hotel Plaza Blvd), we usually go to Walmart which is 3-4 miles down 535 towards Kissimmee (just past the Lake Buena Vista outlet mall).

HELP.... DH and I are leaving in a few days for our first visit to SSR. I know I saw somewhere on this thread instructions on how to override the A/C but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone help me out?

Thank you so much!

I was at SSR over Labor Day weekend, LOVED IT! I had also taken the directions to override the A/C, but we didn't need them. It was horribly hot and humid outside, but our room was wonderfully cool every time we returned and throughout the night ... even got a bit cold at night, if you can believe it!!

We go to Winn-Dixie, 1347 E Vine St It's 3km
They have a good selection and prices. We shop there 3-4 times a year so we have a customer card and save a few bucks each time.
If you have a GPS N28 23.516 W81 30.359

New members with our first visit in Feb. We will take some photos and post.

Our first time to SSR will also be in February and I am counting down the days. All of your positive comments are making me so excited! We will arrive late Thursday, February 4th and requested to stay in Congress.

We go to Publix. I can't remember which one--- we go to one from DTD resort area, and a different one from AKV area. Usually I just make a stop at the concierge and they'll give me a map to the closest publix. There's a Winn Dixie nearby, but I don't really like that store.
