I tried a search with no luck (or just my own lack of luck). Do we know yet what areas are standard and which are preferred or is it still speculation?
I think I would like Carousel because it should be quieter since no one loves it. And there should be plenty of parking available. You can always drive over to the pools, the Artists Palette, Turf Club or Carriage House.
Some guests that drive everywhere prefer being closer to the exit.
Considering it's the 2nd bus stop, and is reasonably close to the Paddock feature pool and QS ... I think I'd rather stay in Carousel than the last bus stop, the Springs and be standing most trips.
(I've stayed Springs before, but didn't fell like it was that convenient)
That's Congress Park. Carousel is closest to the entrance of SSR just off Disney Vacation Club Way. Congress Park has a leisure pool. Carousel has no pool.
I love the Carousel section!!! (There are buildings/villas in Carousel that are closer to the Paddock pool and bus stop than some of the buildings/villas in the Paddock section, for those who care about distance)...Personally, I think Carousel gets a really bad rap...it's too bad because it's just as nice as every other section of SSR--
