We were at SSR Nov 10-20 and loved it. My daughter said she liked it better than OKW, while my son said he still prefers OKW. The pools are fun but not very deep. More for splashing than for actual swimming. I think I like the pool better at OKW, but I LOVED being so close to DTD. Our room was right across from Fulton's and the view from our balcony was fantastic. We didn't find the resort to be too big to walk around. We were in the furthest part of the last building in Congress Park and it took us 5 minutes 30 seconds (yes, we timed it) to walk from there to the middle of the resort where the big pool and check in are. If you walk for another few minutes from the Springs bus stop across a bridge, you hit the Paddock pool, so I felt like anywhere you end up staying is a pretty good location. The bus stop was less than a minute's walk from our room. You can still walk to DTD. You have to go out the back of the resort where the Turf Club restaurant is and walk over the bridge and on a golf course path. You're not going to get whacked in the head with a ball or anything--only a small part of the total walk is on the golf course path. It probably took us about 15-20 minutes to get back to our room from DTD this way. If you weren't in Congress Park in the last building it probably wouldn't take you as long, LOL. We had to walk a whole horseshoe. We also walked to Treehouse Villas just to see them. You can take the boat from Treehouse Villas back to Saratoga Springs or to DTD.
glad you enjoyed it!
