Thanks for sharing your trip report and pictures. You have such cute girls! We were at VWL from May 7-12 for our first DVC trip with two boys close in age to your daughters. I'm glad to hear positive things about SSR, especially the pool area for little ones... We'll have to try it sometime! I'm curious... Did you have to request that specific room location to get so close to the pool?
Even though we dined at lots of the same places as you, I don't think our paths crossed. We also saw the mommy and baby ducklings outside of Crystal Palace when we were there later in the week. And, as for those sea turtles at the Living Seas, they were still doing their thing when we were there for dinner on May 11th!!!
