Yes I know exactly what you mean! I'm hoping they'll run some good AP or FL resident specials at SSR like they have been. I have found that resort to be the best place to get a good night's sleep (I'm also a light sleeper).
SSR is primarily a very quiet resort. And, with the specials they have been running over the past year it's been tough to turn them down. The specials we've gotten have been for a studio and we have gotten upgraded to a 1 bedroom villa everytime which was awesome but I'd be fine with the studio too. I like having the kitchen or even the kitchenette option.
Last year we got a very good AP/FL resident rate at AKL around the same time so I'm thinking if they have those available again then they should have the SSR rates too.
I'm thinking about doing the 5K. I am pretty new to running, have always been a walker so this would be my 2nd 5K actually. My first is in 1 1/2 weeks in my neighborhood. If that goes well I will definitely sign up for at least the 5K Minnie.
I think the tricky part will be getting from SSR to Epcot. Guess I'll have to drive? What time would you leave?
