Well the FedEx envelope is on its way back to MICKEY, so our ownership is almost official. WOOHOO!!

After reading through most of this AWESOME thread (thanx to all who've posted the most useful info) I have a couple of questions.

People have mentioned ceramics and other activities. Where can I find out more info about these types of activities? If I don't plan for them now, ya know how it can be-I'll get home and have wished I had made time for them.

Wondering about scheduling DH a massage on arrival day. Will he be able to shower somewhere in the Spa area if our room is not yet ready?

Thanks in advance

When you check in they give you a big folder with all kinds of info. Activity schedules, DVC discounts etc...
And yes I do believe there is a place to shower. I don't know what time you're getting in, but we've only had to wait once for our room to be ready.

I can only hope to have a room ready. We'll be arriving at the resort by 10:30ish in the morning. I got the feeling by reading some threads that we would be lucky if there was a room ready by 4pm!

That is kind of early. On our last stay we were in a studio for a couple days and then moved to a 2bdr. We checked out and then in around 10. The room was ready around 11. guess we got lucky.

We are OKW/VB owners and stayed in a one bedroom at SSR for 3 nights (The Springs) this week. We found the room tastefully appointed but found the layout quite different. The bathroom has a series of doors with the only closet (small) that had an awkward layout in the bathroom. It seemed like a very large resort with only three pools. We arrived at around 10:00 am and had to wait until around 3:00 pm for our room (no real complaint, check in is really at 4). The front vestibule in the room is large and it begs to wonder if they reduced the size just a little, the combo kitchen/dining/living area could have had a bit more circulation area. All in all it was a pleasant experience and wish all SSR owners many years of great memories when visiting there.

we checked in around 8:00 a.m. and our room was ready. however, i asked if we got congress park (which we had requested) and the CM said that we had gotten the carousel instead. she said we could wait for a room in congress park and we opted to do that because we were going to AK for the day anyway. i called back around 1:45 to check on it and the room was already ready. i'm sure this doesn't always happen as it depends on how busy they are. this was in late april this year.

Since I am a SSR Owner and Lover, I just thought I'd share that DH and I are leaving tomorrow morning for Orlando! Yeah! We will be there for Mother's Day which also happens to be our 6th wedding anniversary. I can't wait to go "home"!

Have A Wonderful Trip!!

New SSR owners here! Our blue box came yesterday but we have already paid our down payment over the phone and are actually using points to stay in a 1br at OKW for the last 3 nites of our already scheduled trip (we leave on Sunday!).

We bought in at 160 points but we are waiting for Kingdom Towers to add on!

We love SSR. My best friend is a SSR owner and we stayed there with her back in September in a 2 bedroom and fell in love with the place. It is so peaceful and relaxing there.

I'm jealous we have to wait 11 more days

After reading 140 pages of posts in this thread, and feeling like I just survived an E-ticket ride (oops, I'm showing my age), DW, DS7, DD5 and I have taken the plunge. Our "blue box" should arrive Monday or Tuesday. We are proud to have all of you as neighbors. Our first trip will be Jersey Week for 7 nights in a Studio. This will be the first time for DW, DS and DD. I've tried to explain to them what a magical place we will be visiting. I think I'm more excited for them than for me.

Congratulations!

It will only take 1 visit to hook the rest of the family on DVC.

Leaving tomorrow for WDW. Will tell Mickey you said "Hello"!
