We stayed in the Congress Park section with a direct view of DTD. It is an easy walk to DTD. There are four pools and we tried them all, but we tend to have several resort days during our trips. You can walk over to the boat dock near DTD and take the boat to POR. That is a nice, scenic boat ride. While at POR we like to get a magic cookie bar and just roam the grounds.
We are walkers, and an early morning stroll around the beautifully landscaped grounds of SSR is a good way to start or end the day. Can you tell that I kinda liked the place?

Ha, that's great thank you!

It's an excellent resort -

If you want to be right near the main pool and QS restaurant opt for "The Springs".

Congress Park as mentioned will get you within walking distance of DTD.

Any other buildings, expect a good walk to the main building. Buses are evenly spaced.

We stayed in the Paddock area, and had everything we needed. The bus stop was right there. The pool area had a nice big slide, food, and a place to refill your mugs! We walked to the main pool ( nice). We ate at The Turf Club table service ( very nice hidden gem). We walked around the resort basically because we chose to walk to DTD ( about a 15-20 minute leisurely walk). We also took the boat to DTD.
We loved it! I think you'll enjoy it!

We stayed in the Grandstand area. There is a quiet pool, with a beverage filling station right there. Grandstand is the first bus pickup which is nice. It is about a 5 min walk to the main building for the restaurants and to the boat launch to Downtown Disney. We also ate at Turf Club and really enjoyed it.

I just got back home today from a 7 night stay, our room was 3714,it was in the springs building. Right in the center of the resort, perfect for my daughter and I since we bounced between the two pools with slides and were across the street from the community hall and the bus stop, also the closest to the restaurants

A couple things every area has its pluses and minuses congress park is great if u want to walk to DTD. It is a huge resort and buses can be a problem at times and walking to the lobby from any area in August will suck. It is a great resort so don't think I am raining on your parade I actually own a dvc there.

Wow. we stayed at SS a few years ago and it never even crossed my mind to walk to DTD and take a boat to POR. Definitely will do that next time. I have never seen that resort and would love to check it out.
