SSR Pool Closure-Concerns

[SwanVT2]

I just found out the High Rock Springs pool will be closed for refurbishment when we are there the first week of March. We tend to spend a good part of our trip at the pool and Paddock is our favorite spot, so now I am worried that Paddock is going to get the spill over from High Rock Springs. Should we move our stay to OKW instead? How is their main pool and slide? We like the proximity to DS. Another option is to move to CSR as my DD (age 10) says she likes the look of their pool. DD is very much into a good slide. Thank you!

Their pool closure did affect my family’s decision to stay there. We have a 2-bedroom LO + studio booked at BCV early next year & were going to modify to stay in a grand villa @ SSR since we prefer staying under “one roof” together. However, SSR’s pool closure was definitely a factor against it for us, and we ultimately decided to stay at BCV.

I feel like all the pools are busier right now. I don’t know how much of it has to do with my timing, or bc more people are doing resort-only stays, but they just feel busier. All. The. Time.

Your story sounds different than mine, and a person’s vacation is so subjective that I’m not sure how to help… but I’d talk it out with your family & see what they’d prefer
Happy planning!!

Thank you! We switched to OKW. We have had dinner at Olivia's before and like how serene the property is, so I think this will be a good fit.

Any word on when the pool will be ready, we are going last week of March 2023

Is this done? The notice on the booking page still says "From early January 2023 through late March 2023." I'm booked 4/28-5/1. There is currently availability to switch to Jambo or Kidani, but that is completely dependent to me on the status of the SSR pools.

according to posts in the SSR master thread it’s open again.

They also mention road closures in January at MK resorts and the Skyliner closer in February at the Boardwalk resorts. Somebody dropped the ball on actually updating the information on the availability tool.....
