SSR is one of our home resorts. We LOVE it. The rooms are a bit more spacious compared to the newer DVC. It looks really big on the map but we dont find it is a long walk to get anywhere (except THV). Loved being able to walk to Disney Springs on our last trip. So much quicker than the bus.
I just firmed up SSR for the first week of December. A rental too. $200 cheaper for a two bedroom compared to my art of Animation/ 1 bedroom OKW split stay. Really excited. Try their lobster roll at Artist Pallette. Amazing. Turf club is good too.
