SSR room location request?

[gatordoc]

Will be spending a couple of days at SSR in December. Have a standard studio booked. Will be going to Disney Springs only - no parks. I know that preferred rooms are the ones close to Disney Springs, but am not really worried because if our room is far away, we can just drive our car from wherever our room is and park as close as possible to the walkway when we want to go over there. So given all that, is there any room request we should make? We’d just basically like a quiet location (so not near construction, lots of traffic, etc.). Thanks!

Building 85 or 81 in the Grandstand section. It’s close to carriage house and the west end walkway to DS. My favorite for standard view.

Building 85 is what I call the lottery location at SSR! It is wonderful!

We love Grandstand buildings 81 or 85. Very convenient location and first bus stop too.

If the boats are running, Grandstand is also close to the dock.

Here's a link to the SSR map:

We happened to get put into one of these rooms once. It was an awesome location for it's proximity to DS and the Congress Park bus stop.

I was looking at the views from these rooms and thinking that we'd like to stay in that area. We are renting points for a standard studio in January... is there any way to make a request other than through the DVC owner? (Also it's important to me to NOT be on the ground floor...)

When you do online checkin you can choose between some predefined options, which include 'high floor'. However if you want something specific like the building number then the owner has to ask it and you haventoleave the field empty at checkin, otherwise that request would be overwritten.
Better to add max 2 requests, in order of importance. So in your case ask to add "not ground floor" first.

Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to cancel our reservation about a week before we were scheduled to go. Fortunately, our borrowed points were returned to their use year. Hopefully travel next year will be easier...

I have no idea if it is possible or not, but I think buildings 85 and 81 should go preferred status and then the two Carousel buildings go down to a new lower point value.
