    We have most of our points through SSR and I understood why some people were disappointed. When you compare that place to Beach Club it just doesn't make the same list for us (we're trying ALL THE RESORTS).

    When we were there Thanksgiving Week 2007, the bus service was horrendous. But the pool is nice and we liked the counter service (Artist Palette).

    But my MAIN problem came when inviting my in-laws to come up and visit us from West Palm. We were showing off our DVC Villa and it was great. They're older and we didn't go to the parks, we just toured the facility. They don't understand our love for Disney and didn't think DVC was a good investment. Then we took them to the Turf Club. Service was horrible and expensive.

    Thank goodness we've since taken them to Vero (and are taking them back in July) so they can see the investment benefits. And while celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary in a 2 Bedroom Villa, they even had the Goofy Character breakfast. I think Goofy won my Mother in Law over.

    We've stayed at SSR several times and really enjoyed the resort. Never had an issue witht he buses, but then we generally go at off-peak times (last stay was early Dec. 2011). Love being able to walk to DTD.

    We loved the resort but the bus service was SO bad this November that my DH has vowed that we will not ever stay there again.

    We stayed at SSR for the first time in November and really enjoyed it. We had no problems with the busses, and loved being in walking distance to Downtown Disney.

    What section did you stay in?

    My first time staying at SSR, I requested Congress Park... Loved the view of DTD, and did the walk several times...

    My preference though are the tree house villas... Quiet, away from any hustle and bustle... Very peaceful...

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    We stayed in the Paddock section, in the building across the road from the Congress Park bus stop.

    I bet the Tree House Villas are a lot of fun!

    Your opinion... how was Paddock? I made ressies for October of this year and requested Congress Park again... But if I cannot get Congress Park (I see no reason why I shouldn't), then I want a back up...
