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

See you at the hot tub - I'll bring the cheese . . . . . .

A quick report from my Oct trip...I meant to post the pictures sooner but gosh, had a baby shower for my daughter JUST in time for the baby to come the next day a week early. It's been hectic and we're already planning her first visit to SSR

I went to visit my youngest DD who is in WDW College Program until January. (Although she surprised all of us this last weekend and flew to the west coast to see the baby, the child who up to this point of her life couldn't keep a secret to save her life ) Stayed 2 nights at Pop, no DVC studios anywhere. Then moved to SSR and my DD and I decided it was like coming home. We had a studio on the 3rd floor, OMG, I just had a senior moment forgot the room number...something 01

We had lunch on the balcony

Balcony view

To be honest, we spent most the time walking around SSR talking. Went to Epcot one afternoon to do F/W and one afternoon to MK to have lunch and go to Philarmagic (which is not at Disneyland) and watch the parade.

Congress Park playground

Congress Park pool (It was actually cold when I went, almost had to buy another sweatshirt)

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

You have to admit the view can sooth your soul and nerves.

Just a few pics while we were strolling the SSR paths.

I have these same exact pictures from our trip back in May.

Is that the back of my head beside DiznyDi in the Rockers? Could be, or maybe it is just a lunchtime fantasy!

Were you there Oct 17 - 20? If not, I set that up just for you.

The wonderful thing is that I noticed more people just rocking and a few with books and their liquid refreshments in the rockers. SSR is becoming the happening place for just chilling.

hello everyone, I cant say i made it through all the posts in this thread but it was all great info. I recevied my final docs from the Timeshare store for our SSR resale. We are close to closing on 220 points at SSR and are very excited. I can only imagine the great times my family will have here and the other resorts. I plan on taking an initial trip in the third week of April, I hope there will be availability at some resort! We wont be able to book until December, after we close and Disney has us on their system. So count me in as an SSR owner!

We are heading back to SSR for the first time since we bought there in 2003. I am really lloking forward to seeing it. The last time we were there, they only had one section open. Any suggestions of where to stay with three little ones in January?

The Springs or Grandstand would be great for the pools, but January limits the swimming to the young at heart!

We love all of the areas, but prefer Congress Park (for DTD) and the Grandstand (for the pool and pool bar!).

Thanks to all of our veterans and to those serving in the military at this time.

We thank you for the freedoms we have.

If time permits, be sure to visit the other resorts to see all of the Chrsitmas decorations and experience the holiday celebrations.

Many of the resorts have local choirs that come in and sing. It has always been a treat for us to take the time to visit other resorts.

I just have a couple of questions about SSR. We are renting points there for our stay 12-6/12/09 (Thanks Don for the point rental - you've been awesome!) Since it is December, are any of the pools heated? (We stayed in December 2 years ago at POP and it was more than warm enough day and night to swim without heated pools - but heated would be great.)
Do the pools have those swim vests for younger kids? I've seen some on photos for other resorts, but nothing for SSR. Also, do the pools have towels? Didn't know if we should pack our beach towels.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Some answers:

Yes the pools all have towels. They ask that you do not take your room towels to the pool. Towels are located in bins nicely folded, generally in a kiosk or building next to the pool.

Heated? Not sure, but I have always found the pools OK in December to dip in. It has always been the Air after the swim that would bite! Don't forget that the Hot Tubs are great all year round.

Pools do not offer swim things, such as vests.

Enjoy your trip to The World!

The pools are heated (80 degrees), but it's the temperatures when you get OUT that matter! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................!

Thanks Dizny Dad & Cee for your help. We will bring my DD2's swim vest and leave the beach towels at home! As far as the cold after the pool, my DD2 and DD6 both have terry cloth cover-ups. I'm sure they will come in handy.

Thanks Again!!
