Next summer we will be traveling to WDW with four grandparents, two with limited mobility. Are there elevators to all the floors? I can't remember, we have always used steps in the past.

I presume the Springs would be the best request to be close to the restaurants and bus?

There are elevators but if they will have mobility devices then the Grandstand area is your best bet because it is the first bus stop and they will be able to get on the buses easier. The buses are often full by the time they get to the Springs stop during busier times.

As a disabled person who stays every year at SSR I second this great advice re the Grandstand!
 
We are going at Thanksgiving and requested Grandstand as well. My mom has stage 4 cancer and will be in a wheelchair. We figured it would be the most convenient with location and bus pick up. We can't wait to go. It is her dream to go one more time.

I am so sorry for your moms health. We lost my DHs mom and brother in 2011 both stage 4 cancer. Have a great time and remember each lovely minute. The grandstands is our favorite section!
 
Thanks jennilyn! She is a spitfire and I mean that in the best way. She hasn't been six years and hasn't stayed at a DVC resort so we are all very excited. I own at BLT and still haven't stayed there...lol. I love the location, but don't love the concrete. We love the grassy resorts, if that makes sense. SSR is one of my favorite resorts! She is going to love it.
 
There are drying lines in the shower, there are hooks right outside the shower, there are hangers in the closet and towel bars over the tub that can be used for suits since they are completely in the tub area. Hope this helps.

The front room dresser has drawers and the coffee table has storage inside, plus there is a dresser in the master bedroom. We tend to stay for a min of 10days at a time and fully unpack so maybe we just travel lighter?

The frying pans are often under the stove but whatever you are missing, housekeeping will bring it up to you. One evening as I was cooking dinner I had to keep calling for things, it would have been comical if it wasn't so annoying.

The door thing is completely annoying. It was just a poor design to give access to the toilet from all areas but all the DVCs we've stayed in have had a similar bathroom setup (or worse!).

I'm glad you are having good luck with the buses and you got a prime location near the pool. That's my personal favorite location. :)

There is no line in the shower. I see the ports but there is no line. Maybe it broke? I thought it was taken away. There are three towel bars. One in tub area, one by pedestal sink and one in toilet room. I don't see any hooks? I feel like I am missing them :( we need those towel bars for our towels because we don't have room service. Hooks on the 5 bathroom doors would be a huge plus.

I found the frying pan in the oven - thanks all :)

The 2 girls have the front drawers, my husband and I used the 4 small drawers under tv in master. I called housekeeping for hangers and they brought 10. We only had 3. That helped a lot.

The bus service is still incredible. I am not sure if it is luck or more people driving, or something else but it has been wonderful. To and from, peak times and off. We go to AoA for 4 days after and I dread the bus service there.

Thanks for the help :)
 
Hi,

I'm looking to request a certain area for our stay at SSR. Does anyone happen to know the best people to email please? The resort itself or go through Disney with our booking ref?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi. It depends how you booked. If you are a member of DVC or it is a DVC booking then phone member services with your reference number and make the request. They are very helpful! If it's a hotel type booking direct with Disney then I would call the main reservations line and give your request to them. I find it's best to call Disney but see what others think?

Thanks for your reply. We aren't DVC members we booked directly through Disney.

I would still phone the reservations number and make the request. I don't find emailing very productive. When I phone it's always honoured and appears on the booking :-) good luck! Hope you get what you want!
 
Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. My DH and I are new DVC members at AKV. We booked a quick trip in Oct staying at SSR! Quick question... How many floors are in the Congress buildings?

All of the buildings at SSR are identical. They're all four floors.
 
Thank you! We already have three trips booked! We love it already. :)

Great sorry pp said 4 floors. Been to SSR countless times and I missed a floor lol! Usually on ground floor you see as I have an accessible room. Glad you love it too! We are going in 29 days wohhooo! Hope we get The Grandstand it's our fav :-)

We like the boat. It runs from 11 am to 11 pm except in high winds or bad weather. Boats come every 20 mins approximately and the ride takes about 12-15 mins.

We prefer boat over bus too, it is more peaceful. We're OKW owners and take the boats when staying there. Looking forward to taking the SSR boat in Nov.!
