Going home next week, checking the map for location and curious about the bus route for the parks at Saratoga and how it flows now with the Treehouses. Last year, bus flowed Grandstand, Carousel, Paddocks, Congress, Springs. We aren't staying at the Treehouse and want to plan timing if the...

I own at SSR and have only stayed at this resort but I've been reading the posts for BLT, if I buy 25 or 50 points for BLT, how does the 11 month window work to reserve at BLT with points? If I reserve a week, I assume they use my 50 BLT points and pull my points for the SSR contract? Does this...

Same week, different story on the buses. Our bus wait was about 5 -8 minutes each day to the parks. Longest wait was 15 to MK when we just saw the bus pull away as we were walking up to the stop. Perhaps we just timed it right. Also, we never used the bus to DTD, we were only a 15 minute walk...

Another game plan which has worked well for me if you plan to hit MK first thing in the AM, we do fantasy land first, get the slow load rides out of the way and then head over to Toontown which opens at 10 and have had the same experience riding the barnstormer 4x in a row. One word of caution...

Its all about planning and you have to plan for any vacation. As a single mom who splurged on DVC I use DME every year to keep costs down -since the day the service was offered. Never have had issues on my arrival, short lines, non-crowded bus, quick drop off to the resorts, bags always arrive...

Bethel checking in - 105 days and counting. Which is a killer this year, I've been spoiled previous years now need to wait for the kindergartener to have spring vacation.

First visit for my family was in April 05, we took our time - didn't know about these threads. Dumbo for my 2 1/2 yo was 90 minutes of waiting, thank goodness grandma was there. Last year, did the touring plans, made the rope drop and rode dumbo twice! We do parks every other day and on park...

I haven't followed what's going on with the Oprah debt diet but believe that David Bach was one of the folks she had on her program and have read several of his books. Me - I just bought into DVC after much thought even after doing Bach's Latte Factor. Why - family values, which he does speak...

Went home for the first time two weeks ago. After some discussion, my mom & I packed a box with her "special" coffee and all my 4 yr old snacks, along with sun screen, shampoo, and some other "heavy" stuff and shipped it down ahead of my arrival date. I hate carrying heavy suit cases!!! We...

The weather was perfect the entire week, so I am happy with my first trip home. I took my mom & 4 year old princess. Stayed at Congress Park - RM 2223 - studio - a pool and playground right behind our room and a short walk to the main pool. Walking was not an issue, for folks who haven't...

No bus problems at all, the longest wait at the resort was 15 minutes, because my slow-poke 4 year old wanted to push her stroller and the MK bus just left. One day at the bus stop, a bus manager was on site at the Congress Park stop, noting the time each bus arrived and left, and waiting for...

First time SSR trip next week, new to DVC but have stayed at BC for business event last year. Does SSR have towels available at the pool similar to the BC Storm a long bay pool? Also, how big is the fridge in the SSR studio room? Thanks!

Curious, on other recent SSR bus service experiences after reading a previous thread this week. Mom, DD (4) and I will being going first time to home resort SSR the first week of April. Last year we stayed at the BC for a business trip and the bus/boat service was fine to MK, MGM, DTD. Wait was...

I am all for proper planning so imagine my surprise when as a newbie to DVC, the day after I received my temp membership card, on Friday 1/6; I call MS to book either first week of April or anytime in May for home resort SSR which had availability, no surprise there, but he said if you wanted...

Just signed the papers for SSR and would love to use my 05 points now before a large project starts at work and I won't have the time for vacation. Any experience vacationers who have been down the first week of April? How bad are the crowds at the parks? I plan to take advantage of the Early...
