SSR preferred room request

[jods]

Hi, I have my first stay at SSR next week. I have a preferred studio booked. So I believe that's either the springs or congress park. When I go to put in my room preference it gives me different options. The choices are grandstand area or congress park. Am I missing something? Am I wrong with regards to preferred rooms? I originally wasn't going to request anything. I would prefer closest to carriage house. These are my options on mde. Thanks.

Edited to say I *think* I want to be by the carriage house. I want Tobe by a pool bar and a mug refill station. Not interested in disney springs this trip.

The Springs is closer to the Carriage House than Congress Park is. Congress Park is closer to Disney Springs. You may have to call in to member services or ask at the front desk when you arrive to get a room in The Springs if it doesn't show in My Disney Experience.

I’d submit a request for the Springs. If you booked on points as a DVC member, chat or call MS. If cash, chat or call Disney reservations. I’d call soon, since your room will be assigned 5-7 days before you arrive. When you do arrive you can go to the front desk to ask whether you’re in the Springs and request to be moved if you’re not.

ETA Leave the request section of online checkin blank.

Thank you. Will leave it blank and hope for the beat.

I have never had a problem getting a villa in my preferred section of SSR. Obviously nothing is guaranteed but the resort is huge so chances are very good.

Grandstand has a drink refill station in the pool area. I believe you can access it 24 hours even though technically the are is not open 24 hours. It is an easy walk to the Carriage House. You also can hop on the boat to DS.
