SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[kaysmommie]

There are towels, laundry and bathrooms at all of the SSR pools.

We just got back on Saturday. The main pool is still closed for the rest of the month but towels are available at all pools. Usually, the movies are at High Rock Pool but during renovations, they played them at the Grandstand pool. The schedule is done monthly so I only have the March schedule. Movies on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

I would LOVE to have an advanced copy of the activity schedule so I could plan our visit but they just don't release them.

Thank you both!

well, I will do that in the morning, but being that I check in on Friday I thought with it this close that it was out of Member Services' hands and transferred over to the resort already?

on another topic--I made a reservation for a massage and pedicure for Friday!

Oooh. Be sure to let us know how the massage is. I am thinking about booking one myself.

My DD14 and I had pedicures at the SSR spa last week. It was wonderful and passed much too quickly. They spend 35 minutes working on your feet and then you go to a dryer to quick dry your nail polish. It was heaven and my daughter is hooked.

I had a question for you SSR experts. Do they have pool towels at all the pools or just the springs pool? Also I read there are movies by the main pool. Anyone know where to find a schedule? Thanks.


We have been members of SSR since 2004. We have always stayed at Congress Park and love the resort and the DTD view from our rooms.
Concerning the movies at the pool if you will check with Community Hall they should be able to provide the schedule. You can also rent/borrow movies at no charge overnight if you are a DVC member.

Thanks, I will see if I can pick up a schedule. Unfortunately we are not DVC members yet. The worst part is we have stayed deluxe 6 out of 7 trips so it would have been paid for already. We did take the tour that is why we decided to rent points and try DVC out.

Make sure you come back and tell us about your trip.....good or bad.

I will certainly do a review when I get back. I was looking at pics this morning and can't wait to go.

Have a great time at SSR and Disney!

We have reservations for THV this October. Has anyone heard any information regarding the bus stops for THV?

Yes, the THV section will be set up similar to Fort Wilderness. There will be two dedicated shuttles that will service the THVs. The shuttles will run between the two stops at THV, then run over to SSR to drop off. The shuttles will either drop off out front where DME drops off, or the Springs section - not sure which.

Do the shuttles run constantly so that it will be a short wait to get one? If that is the case, it won't be a big deal to take one and transfer to a park bus, and it will give an option for a quick ride to the main area.

So if it's going to be like Fort Wilderness, where will the parking be? Will we have to park up front and shuttle to our Villas?

No, you don't even have to do that at Ft. W. of you're staying as a guest there... you park in your own private (albeit mini) driveway. Only visitors, families with more than one vehicle, or guests who's vehicle is too large must park in the outer parking lot. The THV will be the same. I believe I had heard they have their own check-in desk? If so, there should be a limited amt of parking to go with it.

The shuttles will run from 6am - 2am, later on late EMH - like Christmas time.

No, parking will be at each villa area.

Check-in will be at the Carriage House.

We spent a week at SSR at the end of December. The resort was great. I know that I have read alot of negative comments about the SSR Bus service. I would like to add that I know that WDW was extremely crowded during our stay and I do not think that the Bus service reflected it. So I am not sure what others are complaining about.
We are looking forward to our upcoming trip in October. Looking for some additional pictures of the THV area. Does any one have any??? Has any one tried the new online check-in service yet?
