Just a heads up to those who may be interested, the main exit out of SSR is closed right now--the exit on to DVC Way. They are completely re-doing the exit road there. The entrance side is fine for cars--and some buses--but a lot of buses are using the entrance from Buena Vista Dr (near Congress Park).
As a result, the bus schedule at SSR is different. Stop #1 is (supposed to be) The Springs, #2 The Grandstand, #3 Carousel #4 Paddock #5 Congress Park. I say "supposed to be" because some bus drivers stop at Congress Park first then proceed to the rest of the route--stopping again at Congress Park before exiting. As a result of exiting on to Buena Vista Dr, all of the buses are then turning right towards DTD then turning right again on staying on that road as it follows DTD.
Because of all of this, it's taking longer to get to the parks on the buses. Not terrible, but thought some of you may want to know. We've always liked Grandstand because it was the first stop--second isn't bad but the CM that drove us to our room when arrived warned us that some drivers "forget" the stop because now they have to loop around to go to it.
Also, not sure when this change was made but the stop for the Treehouse Villas has been moved to The Springs (it used to be at Grandstand).
Sorry, I don't know how long the construction will last. We arrived yesterday 7/31 and it looks like they've still got a ways to go until the road is done.
