SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[tinkerpea]

Hi again! I just love reading this thread & I'm definayly getting more & more excited about our 15 night stay next October, boy does it feel ages away( I need that long to save though coming from the UK) anyways ...... I would really love to have a DTD view as I would love the walk & to see the view I was wondering how far of a walk it is to either off the main themed pools with the slides & how far the min building is with the foodcourt area etc is? We will not be renting a car as I'm the only one who drives but I'm only 26 and a bit scared of driving over in the states,plus I like using the buses and not having to park!! Any info on walking distance would be fab thanks.

Just wanted to jump in here to let you know that we signed a 100 pt. contract today (went to the Doorway To Dreams store in Schaumburg IL.) and we are very excited about it. My DH is really excited because he can't wait for our first stay in a Treehouse Villa. This is our second home resort....we own at BLT also. Now I am off to figure out our vacation for next year

We stayed in the Congress Park section and it was about a 5 minute walk to High Rocks Spring Pool and Artist's Palette and probably a 8 or 9 minute walk to the Paddock pool. We didn't rent a car and thought Disney transportation was great.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to drop in and say hello to you all as we will be staying at SSR for the first time next May and I am sure to have lots of questions!

We are staying on points and I have requested a room in the Paddock area as I like the look of the pool over there

The only thing that really worries me is road noise; do you think it would be a problem in this area?

I spend far too much time stuck in London traffic as it is and really don't want to hear lots of car noise when I am on vacation

Great thread by the way

Favorite thing to do:
Boat ride to Downtown Disney at sunset!!
Late night hot tub with a cigar, as long as noone else is there.

Congratulations on your add-on!!! The THVs look so beautiful, it is on our bucket list to stay in one at least once.

Hey there! We just got back from a 3 night stay at SSR. Our room was immaculate, it was ready early and we looked over the golf course in the Grandstand. We LOVE SSR. It is beautiful, peaceful, has great pools (OK, not as good as SAB), and a wonderful restaurant. I just totally relax when we go there. We are so lucky to go there.

I did not notice the noise when we stayed at the Paddock. We were in a 1 BR next to the paddock pool overlooking the lake.

I have a quick question....we are staying for the first time at SSR (our new home resort ) in a 1 bedroom. DH and I were thinking that it would be cool to stay in an area that overlooked DTD and was not too far away from the main building. Which area would you all think would be best for me to request or am I just making up an area in my head? Thanks to anyone that can help.

You can have one or the other, like so many things in life!

A view of DTD is available from Congress Park, but the walk to the Main Carriage House is longer than most, but still only about 5-8 minutes walk.

Close to the Carriage House would be The Springs or Grandstand, but neither come with DTD views, but some other views that are wonderful!

Enjoy SSR - it is a great place to relax and have fun!

Thanks for your help, since we aren't really doing any parks when we are staying there (only 1), Congress Park would not be bad at all. We are mainly staying there to relax and unwind from having Grandma and Grandpa with us the first 3 nights of our trip (staying at BCV then and doing the parks). While staying at SSR we do plan on heading down to DTD a couple of times....is Congress Park close enough to DTD where we can walk there or is it smart for us to just take the bus? Thanks again.

One of the MANY great things about SSR is its proximity to DTD. Congress Park is the closest area to DTD and is an easy walk. You will NOT need to take the bus. Maybe back though. Especially at night.

We were in the Paddock section, although not the building closest to the pool, but the one near the Congress Park bus stop. I could not believe how peaceful and quiet SSR was. I do not think you will have a problem with noise. Especially when you are used to city traffic!

Hello. We just returned from our 9-day Thanksgiving trip to WDW in which we became DVC Members! SSR is our home resort. This decision was primarily based on price per point, BLT being too contemporary for my DW, and AKV being too far away. Based on what I've read on this thread I think we made the right decision and I look forward to some awesome vacations at SSR. Treehouse Villas here we come (fall/winter 2012)!

We recently became members of DVC with our home at SSR! We are so excited and feel very blessed that we could. There was no question which resort to choice as SSR is very near and dear to us, it was where we spent our honeymoon! Hope to have and share many great memories with our DD for years to come! Our first DVC members trip will be Dec 2012, Im so so so excited, it will also be our first time in Disney during the Christmas season!
