My DH and I were all set to check into a studio at SSR on Friday with the AP discount, which included a free $100 dining credit. We are running the the ToT 13K on Sat. :scared: I checked this morning by clicking on the reservation link they emailed me when I made the reservation months ago...

I apologize in advance if this was already asked, but can you book multiple rooms with the teacher discount? My sister is currently a teacher and my mom just retired. (I'm guessing retired teachers do not qualify.) Our group would need 2 rooms, but I was wondering if my sister could book both...

We were in the Paddock in room 65XX (can't remember exactly). It was really quiet although the resort itself was very busy. We were there May 16th-21st. It was extremely quiet as there were only ever 3-4 cars in our parking lot until Sun nite (20th). It appeared as though they had filled all...

Awesome idea and one we employ quite often. From our experiences around the resort world, my favorites are: Resort Lounges (in order of preference): Belle Vue Room- BWI/BWV Outer Rim- CR Tambu Lounge- Poly River Roost Lounge- POR Crew's Cup- YC Victoria Falls- AKL Fun Pool Bars...

Bradk- Too funny. I remember that episode. For bell of the ball, bradk was referencing Cliff Clavin and an episode of cheers where he went on Jeopardy!because LuluLovesDisney wanted some of Cliff's little known facts. The final jeopardy answer was "Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and...

So excited. Didn't think we'd be able to go due to my DM's health issues. Everything looks ok right now (in a stable period-knock on wood, fingers crossed!!). Staying 5 nights at SSR in a studio. It's just me and DH. We have been working such long hours, plus DH works out of town. I am...

In case anyone was wondering, I confirmed that the pool bar is ready to roll. However, it is "seasonal" and if there is a "need", they will open it. They said that they will have people on call to work. I guess we will see what transpires.

Gotta love the impulsive trips home! Guilty here as well. :guilty: Did you notice if the pool bar was open at the Grandstand yet? We are supposed to go next Wed. Am keeping my fingers crossed it works out and was thinking of requesting Grandstand. The pictures I have seen are really...

Cool, thanks Mickey Mouse Lover. What is the size of the pool? Is it more like a themed pool size or more like a quiet pool? TIA!

Is the pool in the Grandstand area open? I see from the new map that there is supposed to be a pool bar as well. Very cool. Is it open? If the pool/bar are not open, does anyone know when they are scheduled to open? We are scheduled to go "home" next Wed and if these areas are open, I might...

My new favorite drink at WDW isn't really theirs...it's a hybrid of theirs and my sister's. She had a mango pina colada in Hawaii on her honeymoon and has to have them ever since. We noticed last trip that they had pina coladas made with raspberry puree as well as mango margaritas at the pool...

We have eaten here probably 10 times and really like it. We always get the soups (DH gets the french onion and I get the soup of the day) and they are awesome. I am usually adventurous, but in December, I had the hamburger which had brie, onions and a sauce on it (I think) and it was really...

Have fun!! Can't contain ourselves either...got to get through 3 days of work (2.5 now!). We leave crack of dawn Thursday for a 3 nighter at SSR. Maybe we'll see you. My DH & I will be the ones having drinks by the pool! And at DTD. :)

We leave Thursday morning. Staying at SSR for 3 nights! Can't wait to: See the sun & feel 70 degree temperatures :sunny: Go to our first MVMCP :thumbsup2 Hang out & not work :goodvibes !! Have fun everyone and hope to see you there!!

I have done it & I really liked it. Twice at WDW and once at DL. The first time at WDW, I just had meetings with my boss and some local attorneys. It was so nice to be in one of my most favorite places, even though I was working. I could take breaks and walk around and soak it all in. My...

Tim, Great tips!! I hadn't thought about a bunch of those. We do employ the nap/swim technique. Keeps DH from getting crabby about 1pm...not a pretty sight! :) We actually walk all the way from MGM because we are not good at waiting either and the boats are fun, but sloooow. Our...

Dznyacct, If you don't mind me asking, where was that picture taken? TIA,

I also run and have run at a lot of the resorts. My guess is (MHO) your DS will not be satisfied with the paths at POR/POFQ. Hope I am wrong, but I usually do between 5-7 miles at a stretch and found the loop around POR and then down and back to POFQ to be too short. Maybe it's just me and I...

We usually travel to FL around mid to late March (beginning of the spring break season- at least around here). We've found that booking way in advance is not good nor is waiting until the last minute. I looked back at my confirmations and we booked the first week of January the last few years...
