Congratulations and Welcome Home!
The Treehouse Villas usually book up quickly. SSR owners can book at 11 months out; owners at other resorts can book them at 7 months. Two things in your favor are that you are still outside the 7-month window so you're only competing with SSR owners; and January tends to be one of the "slower" months -- although it's still pretty popular!
If your dates are unavailable, you can "wait list" although I don't know what the success rate is for THVs that are wait-listed. Obviously, the shorter the stay, the better the chances!
Ask for "Near pool."If we are standard, I would like to put in a request for a room either in Paddock in one of the buildings that starts with 5 or Grandstand in a building that starts with 8. What would be the best way to request this?
Can you request a specific area for the Treehouses, going to have a scooter and will be using the shuttle service.

Just put a down payment on 100 points! Brand new to DVC. We are soooo excited. Happy Anniversary Honey (and christmans, and birthday, .....(for the next several years))
We're in th closing process of SSR, really excited about it. What are the chances for a January trip , for THV to be available.
We are staying at SS for the first time this November, and have reserved a 1 bedroom suite. When the online checkin opens, what area should I request? We've never even visited SS before, so I don't know where to begin!
Being close to transportation would be nice. =)
Good question! I'm not sure...I'm looking at my reservation right now and it just says 1 Bedroom Villa. It doesn't say anything about standard or preferred.The buses run all thru the SSR resort so you're never terribly far from a stop. What did you book - preferred or standard? That's going to dictate what area's you will be staying in and can form requests from that. Preferred is Congress Park and The Springs. Standard is Paddock, Grandstand and Carousel.

I booked it through the regular website like our previous vacations. I just chatted with Disney and they said when the reservations part opens back up to call to request a certain view.

1) Near pool would be my choice for a requestHi, I will be saying in a 2 bedroom in August and I have a few questions. I have a cash reservation that was made in february (originally made for CBR but received a complimentary switch to SSR 2 br). At the time, there was no distinction on Disney's site between standard and preferred bookings, and nothing was said to us when we switched here. Our reservation also makes no note of it, and I can't go off of pricing since we are paying CBR rate. I would assume we would be considered standard, but does anybody know a way to tell for sure?
If we are standard, I would like to put in a request for a room either in Paddock in one of the buildings that starts with 5 or Grandstand in a building that starts with 8. What would be the best way to request this? Should I just say "near pool" since all those buildings are closest to the pools, or should I request those areas of buildings in a certain way?
Also, is there a (dry) playground in Paddock or is the only one in Congress Park?
Is the Grandstand pool now fenced like the others?
Are there any refillable mug stations open late or 24 hours?
Are cash reservations all dedicated 2 bedroom or is there a chance I could get a lockoff? Would I need to request a dedicated 2 br?
Thank you so much!
1) Near pool would be my choice for a request
2) I believe it's a wet play area @ the paddock
3) Yes, Fenced in...
4) I believe that there is one over by the Grandstand pool, and I believe it's always on?
5) not sure of that
We have a 3 night stay mid July. This will be a no park trip, just water parks, downtown, movies, mini golf...Can anyone tell me how long the walk to the marketplace side from the springs the main lobby/springs area? I would love a nice view from congress park but I don't want a 10 min walk just for a drink refill.
