At SSR Now

[kenny]

Sitting on my balcony drinking my coffee looking at DTD. Never usually post from vacation but had too at least once.

Arrived yesterday staying untl 4/7. Since this was a second trip this year we went economy and got a studio. While it is fine for the 3 of us, spoiled after staying in a 1 bedroom last time (this is only our second DVC stay). More than little things like not enough outlets in main area for charges for my phone, earpiece, laptop, camera, video, etc. But if that is my biggest complaint can't get too mad right . When second baby is born in Sept though definitely back to the 1BR.

Room wasn't ready yesterday so we went for a swim. 1st for us. Feel like true DVR'rs now. We always head right out to MK after check in. Even went to DTD last night so NO parks our 1st day. Couldn't believe it. Only issue I had with check in was they called our home in NY instead of my cell when the room was ready so we didn't know. Oh well. Minor issues with the room compared to last trip (none last trip). Few wrappers on the floor, plus found a sewing needle in the blanket and bobby pins scattered on the floor. Other than that room was clean.

Thunderstoms in early morning today (5-6 am). Cloudy and cool today (70's) but better than NY!

Now if only I can motive DW and DD we can eat and go to the parks. I got to get in some MK rides or I will bust!

Will try and post some pictures throughout the week. If there are any specific pics you want let me know and I will try and get them.

Love SSR. We returned from a trip last week. And we always take a small power bar with us. Too many electronics to charge...

How was the main pool after the renovations???

Crowds were not that bad today, but it POURED when we got there around 11:30 am. Peter Pan was 50 minutes, Small world about 15. Mansion was 15 and Pirates was 10. Didn't make it by Splash Mountain or Thunder Moutain so not sure over there.

Rained on and off with sun finally coming out around 3. Back to the room now for a quick rest then to Turf Club for dinner. Maybe back to the MK after. Open with EMH until midnight.

Didn't take too many pics today because with the rain on and off got lazy and didn't want to keep taking it out of the backpack (DSLR).

Main pool was ok. I guess rehab went well. Were there in Nov and not sure what needed to be rehabed. Everything looked the same but never thought it was run down to begin with. Of course 5 minutes after we get in, the closed the pool for an "Unexpected" cleaning. Somehow I don't like the sound of that.

Couple quick pics:
Room View

noon:

4:30

1st ride of the trip:

Need to check my work email so I can pay for this trip. Oh and get a glass of wine! Check back in later.

Have a great time. (Note my smiley is a little green with envy.)

I certainly hope you found the sewing needle the easy way. That could have made for a very unpleasant way to sit down!

Would love to hear what you think of Turf Club. As often as we stay at SSR, we've never tried it.
