SSR report

[stacy6552]

Well neighbors, we're back! Some of you may remember our room assignment fiasco opening week. Well I am happy to say that they gave me the exact room I asked to be close to. YIPPEE! It was awesome.

Homesick already.

Glad to hear you had a great time
I haven't been back from SSR 3 weeks and I miss it already, too!
But only 74 more days and I'll be back ''home''
So what section did you ask to be close to?
My trip in Nov, I asked to be in the Congress Park, they actually gave me 3 choices of rooms! I could stay smoking ( my request) at the Paddocks, but it was the very 1st building (too far) , or I could stay smoking in Congress Park, but room wouldn't be ready for 3 hours, or I could take non- smoking (I'm a polite smoker, I never smoke in a non-smoking room) in The Springs right away! I took the SPRINGS (even though I wanted to be close to DTD) and it worked out perfect because my best friend likes to sleep late and I'm am up and at 'em kinda person, so the Springs was close enough to the AP to go bring back breakfast every day!
Glad to hear you had a good experience, too!

So where is a "good" place in SSR? Is it better to have the DTD view or to be closer to the pool and lobby area? I will be spending some time there -just a weekend w/ some friends, no kids in a studio. Any suggestions for a request?

Well, it depends on what your needs are.
I like the Congress Park section due to it's closeness to DTD. And I much prefer the quiet pools in general to the main ones. So that could be a great section for you, if you plan on going to DTD.
The Springs section is closest to the main building-food, the main pool, etc.
The Paddocks section is the newest and I haven't stayed in it yet, so maybe someone that has can help with how long it takes to get to AP and DTD.
HTH!

All I can say is in 2 weeks I am going to need a vacation! Really looking forward to it.
