SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

[DizDaD7]

Does anyone on this thread have pictures of the view of Disney Springs from an SSR 3BR Grand Villa. I can't find online anywhere.
I'm weighing that GV vs the AKV GV with Savanna View, and would really love to see some photos.

I'm sure there are some in this thread....Albeit there are quite a few pages, but you can browse through it.

Thanks DizDad
I did find one view of Disney Springs from an SSR GV.
Wishing we had selected that view before CP became “preferred” and started costing more in points.

Refurb is scheduled to begin in 2019.

That's good to hear, I didn't love the mattress last time I was there.

No clue where we will be at yet during our SS stay but curious what people think has the best pool vibe.

Not looking for quiet or serenity (I can get that in my room) but more of a nice social structure...best pool bar, social scene, friendly barstaff, etc?

Any new info on 2019 refurb, or photos of concept rooms?

The Springs pool definitely has more going on and is more ‘social’ than the smaller paddock pool. It’s always packed and is also close to Artist’s point and the community hall for added food and entertainment options. However we prefer the paddock pool because the slide is better.

Was actually checking in on this thread to ask the same. We have an upcoming stay, second week of January. I didn't realize a refurb was going on. I saw on a FB group a pic of a re-done studio. It looked great! Was wondering how far along they are...if any 2 bedrooms were finished and if so in what area(s).

Do you have a copy of the image or a link?

Refurb has has not started yet. What you saw was a test room. They do this to get feed back. Then they choose which route to go.

Oh ok, that makes sense.

I don't saw it on a fb page, but i can't remember which and i can't find it again. Looked pretty similar to what they've done at OKW.

Hi.
I have a one bedroom preferred view at SSR.
I want to request Congress Park and have a view of DTD.
What exactly do I request? Is there a certain building I should specifically request?
High floor.
A good view of DTD is my first choice.
We had a GV one year that faced DTD and I loved it.

Thank you very much.

Hi.
I looked on the first page for the answer but have a question please:

What is the difference between:

2 bedroom lock off villa
vs
2 bedroom villa

Thank you.

Yeah, I tried to link to another site but it looks like it's not allowed.

The 2 bedroom lock off has the capacity to have the second bedroom be a separate unit, "locked off" from the one bedroom. The second bedroom has its own separate entrance from the corridor and is like a studio and will have a small kitchenette. I think the two can be sold separately, one as a one bedroom, and then the separate studio, if Disney chooses. The 2 bedroom regular villa has the second bedroom connected to the rest of the unit, with no separate outside entrance, and there is no kitchenette - just more sink and closet space. If you go to this page: https://disneyvacationclub.disney.g...resort-and-spa/points-rooms/#default=1/0/0/3/ and click on "view floor plans" under the type of room, you'll be able to see it.

And a 2 bedroom dedicated has 2 queens in the second bedroom, the lock off since it is a studio has a queen and a sleeper sofa, the only exception is OKW since all studios have 2 queen beds.

 

[DVC Fanatic]

Anyone have the refurb test room numbers? I know it is a long shot, but wanted to possibly request that room if possible.

Thank you. This is great information for me! If I had a choice, then for this trip I would choose a dedicated two bedroom since it would be my dd and myself in the second bedroom and having two real beds would be best for us.

Thank you so much for trying! I appreciate it!

Thank you again.

I put a WL in for a 2 bedroom standard and preferred view for January 9-12 at SSR on Monday and yesterday (Tuesday) evening it was filled, although
I am surprised since the beginning of the week is available and thought someone would have been WL the full week (January 5-12).
Anyway, I matched to a dedicated 2 bedroom so I'm happy to have two real beds in the second bedroom. Going to keep looking for preferred view.
It will be nice having the two real beds since we (my mom, dd-25 and I) will be coming from five nights at BLT LV Studio so my dd and I will be
on the pullout (although I have two WL for BLT one bedroom and stalking, which has worked beautifully for me since I only booked this trip end of September).

Thanks again for the clarification on the dedicated and lock off.
