We too had a major wait at the Magic Kingdom one evening after MVMCP (December 9th), we waited about 40 mins until the first bus turned up and that was only with the intervention of the bus supervisors due to the length of the queue. It took 5 buses to clear the queue completely and was nearly 1.30am when we got back to our room.

Oh yea...I think I saw you in line! That was quite the fiasco...I though I was staying back at the value resorts that night!

We'll be checking into SSR on January 27. We were just there at christmas and were lucky enough to book another trip in jan. Can't wait to get there

 

[monami7]

Quick question. We want to request congress park with DTD view. Where and when should I call to do this?
Thanks

April will be my first time staying at SSR and I was wondering if someone could someone help me choose a building? I was thinking of requesting the Grandstand or Springs area due to thr themed pools in that area. What order do the busses come at SSR? Which section is picked up first and last?
Open to any suggestions....thanks!

We were at SSR 12/6-12/13. We stayed in the Grandstand section. Our room was right beside the pool. It was very convienent to the Main House and a bus stop was about 200yards away. We were always the first on and first off. Never had a problem getting a seat. The buses in general at SSR are few and far between. Not very happy with the bus service here. Never waited less than 25 min. for a bus.

WOW! 25 minutes may make us cram in our van with 8 people! That is crazy! I have heard some people have better luck than others with the buses.

We are staying at SSR this May. I have questions about where we check in for our flight for those of you that fly Southwest. We will need to check in 24 hours before our flight and print boarding passes. Is there a concierge that can do this for us. We don't want to have to bring a laptop all the way to Disney. Maybe I should just add internet to DH's phone for the trip. Thanks in advance.

We just put reminders on our phone and log onto the site 24 hours out. I think they might have a computer you can use hut then I course you'd have to be at the hotel. J think there may also be a cost to use the terminal. Not sure though since we always use our iphone to check in. Good luck.

we allwas fly SW and we would have someone at the front desk do our check-in.we now use our smart phone to check in so we don't have to worry about where we will be 24hrs in advance.then we get the boarding passes printed later.

We stayed in the Grandstand Building 8200. It was perfect. Right by the pool and close to the bus stop!

Enjoy!

I was in the lobby and saw a CM print off boarding passes for a guest. I don't think you'll have a problem at all.
Enjoy!!

Photos from the Goofy's Challenge trip, 01-08 to 01-14 at SSR.

Thanks everyone, you are a helpful group . I guess we will probably just check in with our phone and then print the boarding passes later. I wish SW had assigned seats. Looking forward to trying SSR. We did the DVC tour in October and we loved it there. This stay is on rented points to try DVC out. Hopefully it convince my DH that we really need to own a piece of Disney!

Hoping to be back home at SSR on March 28th for a girls only long weekend....To celebrate turning 29 for the 11th time.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I know this has probably been asked, but I don't want to go back, hope you'll forgive me. With the main pool being closed for renno. in March, I am thinking our favorite Grandstands pool will be pretty busy - we are traveling without kids. Could anyone tell me if the Congress park area has a pool, and is there a pool bar?

 

[Brenle]

We were there last May. No pool bar at Congress Park at that time. But depending on where in Congress Park you stay, Artist Palette is not too far away.
