SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

. . . . . That's the thing about Saratoga Springs - there really isn't an 'indoor' place to spend a few hours . . . . .

Try the Turf Club lounge area. No, not the same as VWL, but a good place to be out of the way! It isn't used very much (and comes with adult entertainment!)

The DIS Rehabs and Closings page has info on the SSR Paddock Pool refurb but I didn't see info for any of the other SSR pools listed so hopefully no issues there. The page looks like it is updated pretty regularly.

"Disney's Saratoga Springs - Paddock Pool closed 12/1/10-6/30/2011"

Hello All,
I bought a DVC membership last spring and SSR is my home resort, I haven't made my first trip to SSR yet but I have a reservation for September. On my last few trips to WDW I spent most of my time at the parks or sitting around the pool at the resort. I've read that Downtown Disney is close to the resort so I thought I'd check that out while I'm staying at SSR, anyone have any Downtown Disney or SSR recommendations/likes/dislikes they can share? Thanks in advance

DTD suggestions- Earl of Sandwich, Wolfgang Puck Express
Lego Land, World of Disney, Goofy's Candy Co.

and much, much more!!!!

On the way to or from DTD, stop and rest awhile in the rockers along the lake! They are a good place to catch your breath, watch the swans and boats, and meet nicce people!

 

[AgentP]

Thanks I'll do that. I knew I could take a bus/boat to DTD, sounds like there is a walking trail to : )

We love Raglan Road for a grown-ups' night out. Good Irish pub food and entertainment. And if you've never seen it, you'll have to see Cirque du Soliel. Welcome home!

Yes it's great! Giant screen TV and a pool table. I discovered last time we ate at Turf Club, and wished I'd found it earlier and not the last night I was there.

Here now, in a studio in Congress Park. I didn't get my view of DTD request, but that's ok. Going to enjoy the rockers later Dad, in your honor!

That is so cool! DDad's currently 'resting' in one of his other favorite chairs. Sure would be nice to join you... enjoy all that SSR has to offer, especially those rockers.

I have to say that I have NEVER wanted to rock in a rock chair as bad as I do after reading through this thread.

Thanks for the "great pictures" of SSR. I am a fellow SSR owner and they bring back many memories of staying in the resort. I also love the walkway to Downtown Disney and its access. Thanks again for brightening a drab....cold day in the Midwest with memories of my "second home away from home!"

My sil loved the walk.

which will lead you pass the Congress Park outlook

Sweet, I love Irish Pub's, thanks for the tip. Several people have told me that Cirque du Solie is a "must see" I'll have to work it in to one of my trips.

Just returned from our first stay at our home resort SSR and LOVED IT! We had 5 adults in a two bedroom and it worked great for us.
