SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

the lounge is open though

Have you tried any of the food offerings they have now?

 

[Goldfish Are Feral]

It is not. I am sitting on my patio right on the paddock side of the bridge as I type this. Still closed. Amazing view though!

see attached photo, far right. Closed sign. Taken just now.

Have they posted when they think it would be done? Does it look like they are half way though? I love staying at the Paddock...but also thinking the bridge would at least be open and the pool =/

No but I heard there is a long drink list!

They have French fries, pizza, hamburger and Buffalo cheese dip. I have had the buffalo cheese dip from the Turf Club and is was delicious.

In the new refurbed 1 and 2 bedrooms is the ottoman by the sofa in the main room movable or is it attached like a chaise sofa? Does it open for storage? Also there appears to be a small cupboard door behind the round end table by the sofa, does it open? Just curious and have not found these items addressed in any pictures or videos.

Is there a business center or such, from which we could scan/send/fax things?

The ottoman is move able, I do not think it has storage. The cabinet door behind the end table, I’m not sure, I would think it would open somehow, the phone cord goes into it, but my guess is they do not want you to open it. I don’t see a knob.

Thank you so much The Jackal. I'm trying to figure out where people staying in the Murphy beds would keep their belongings. I do not like living out of suitcases.

There is storage in the coffee table, the top lifts up. With the trundle bed you lose a lot of storage, but gain a real bed.

So for those of us with standard rooms, is requesting the Paddock area the best way to ensure a renovated room?

For an immediate future check-in, yes. But all room renovations should be completed by this summer... perhaps early summer.

Right now with the boat not running, is there an alternate way to get to Disney Springs other than walking? We are planning a trip for October and staying standard, we are not DVC so the upgrade to preferred is cost prohibitive. If using uber or similar, where would pick up and drop off at Saratoga Springs take place if my mom was worn out and didn't want to walk back?

Is there parking near the feature pools? How about near the quiet pools? DH and I just booked an early June stay at SSR and plan to spend days by the pools or in our villa and not venture out to the parks until late afternoon when the sun isn't so hot. We'd rather drive our car, unless parking is a problem.

There is parking close to the Paddock pool by the buildings. The main pool by the Carriage House is a further walk. There is parking at the Springs buildings or in the parking lot by the DVC Center. The quiet pools have parking by the buildings. Unless it is super busy, you should be able to find a spot pretty easy. Odds are your room will be close to one of the pools.

Just a heads up- friends are there now, and the Paddock Pool itself is closed, even though online just said slide and play area.

Hi ~ any update on the Paddock Pool? DVC says it's open and only slide and bridge are closed. Maybe this was an isolated incident? Hoping to be in that section for my April trip (pools, drinks and food)

Sorry, they are gone now. They actually switched rooms to be near the main pool since the front desk said Paddock would be closed. But that was a while ago. Hopefully it’s open again

Just booked an RCI trade into SSR for early June. Do the buildings in Carousel get much road noise? And, I've been searching this thread but apparently not using the right search terms - is Carousel finished refurbishment and Grandstand the last section being worked on, or is Carousel yet to be done? TIA!

 

[Bellecruiser]

Ok. We were at SSR recently, and the slide, only, was closed. everything else was open. I was in the pool daily. We had an amazing time. Everyone was happy to be there...cast members, DVC Members, bus drivers, ...everyone!!! It is a great time to be there.
