We are going in May I was hoping for THV but they were booked so we waitlisted.We are staying in a 2br and asked for DTD view.We will be thrilled either way but hoping our waitlist comes through We stayed at OKW last year but are really looking forward to staying at our home resort this time!We are not doing the dining plan so being so close to so many dining options is a huge plus!!

It was our friends first time to Disney.. We took them to the MK first, you know how that is... We went in first under the tunnel so we could get a pic of them comming through.. the smiles were priceless...we get over to the smoking section (by the hat store ) and my GF breaks down and starts to cry.. I am talking the cry where you can't say anything.. I started to cry.. and then I had to take their pics while crying..we were a mess..lol the peeps sitting there were looking at us and I had to say, This is thier first time to Disney! everybody there said Welcome to the magic Kingdom! It was the best trip ever! We are heading back down in Sept of 2010 I can't wait !

Awww. That it so great. I would soooo love to experience a newbie's reaction. I think that would just tickle me pink. Maybe someday.

And yes I agree, SSR is OMG!!

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! I still get super excited when I hear the opening chorus of SpectroMagic - even after numerous viewings. And you should see DD (28 yrs) at Fantasmic! Yes, that would be her jumping up and down, clapping her hands and screaming.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Don't let DiznyDi kid you; the jumping up & down was her . . .

What a great story--I teared up reading it!!!! What a special moment for you and your friend

Although we haven't stayed there yet, what I have seen, I love.
I don't understand why people say it is at the bottom of their list to stay? But from what I read, most haven't stayed at SSR when making those comments.

I made our ressie yesterday for a GV the last week of August for my family of 4 and my mother (who purchased the DVC for my family...with the stipluation she always comes and stays in the master suite ). That's easy enough for me

Although we've been to Disney more times than I can even count, it will be our first time as DVC Owners.

Can't wait

What a great mom! I hope you do all the laundry & cooking for her while on vacation!

I found this thread standing at the quiet pool in front of Congress Park looking at DTD. I think it was just lost in the moment . . . . . and on page three.

DD is now wed to DSL and all is completed except the final billing (real life, huh!?!?). DD & DSL are now headed to The World. Tuesday evening they will be at the Dessert Buffet, so wish them well.

That is my son, who is presently stationed in Iraq, in the photo on the "stick". We were sorry He could not attend the event saturday, but he wrote a wonderful letter to his sister and brother-in-law that brought many tears and a few laughs.

Next event for DW & I - WDW trip in December!

It can't come fast enought . . . .

Maybe we will see you there. We will be wearing smiles, have no little ones in tow, and of course have our Mickey ears on.

Oh, and we will be walking slowly cause we are tired!

 

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

Checked in last night and have a wonderful studio in the Grandstand section. We're in the 8700's, which is the 3rd floor of the building closest to the Carriage House -- wow, what a short walk to Artist's Pallet!

If you're here now, be sure to stop in the check-in area. They've set up some carved pumpkins (which weren't there last night) that are really neat. I'll post a few pics later.

Update:

 

[DiznyDi]

Boy Dave, those are some pretty impressive pumpkins. Thanks for posting the pics!

Our 'kids' checked in this morning. They're on their honeymoon and spent the first several days at VWL. They've requested Grandstand. If you see two star-struck lovers wearing bride and groom Mickey and Minnie hats be sure to say hello.

Well you can probably find us most nights sitting in the hot tub or in the pool with some cold beers nearby.

I'd be willing to bet Mickey's cheese that we have stared at each other as we melted the day away in the hot tub. It is a favorite of ours also!

It's possible. Maybe we'll have to compare dates and places to see
