You are gonna need to take 2 boats. One from SSR to DTD. And another from DTD to POR.

I am going to see Yeehaa Bob for the 1st time in Feb. I cant wait!

TrresyB - Loved the pics of the inside of the villa - just a I say to diznyDi, "we need the room just for our stuff!"

Thanks for the pics! It looks so peaceful, and I'm glad to see someone else's "lived in" villa. I thought we were the only ones who had stuff lying around!

I can't wait to be there, I have a feeling I'll want to come back every time, but hard to justify on the trips when there are only two of us!

Currently trying to figure out how I can stay at THV each and every trip! We are in 7022 and the view of the river is spectacular and I'm so impressed MS followed through with the villa request I made to be close to the boat launch. I'm so glad for my SSR purchase!

Oh my, we checked out of 7022 on January 1!

We liked being by the boat launch as well. We could time them, they came every 20 minutes just like they said.

I think that we were given a room at SSR that was used for spare parts.
We had a dedicated 2 bedroom and the air conditioning did not work. It was 83 outside. After 6 days of calling and someone coming out, it still did not work. The dresser in the second bedroom had two drawers with the hardware (drawer pulls) missing on one side. There was no pack n play. There was no iron, there was no door mat. The custom made lamp in the living room did not work. The hair drier overheated and shorted out. The pull/stick thing on the living room drape was off and lying on the floor.

We own 700 points and pay $260 a month in annual dues. Everyone was polite that we spoke to, but it was just ridiculous. There were no pack n plays to be had, so they brought us a metal crib. I don't expect a lot, just that things are the way they are supposed to be. How does a maid clean a room and not notice that the handles are missing on drawers? And who took them?

The last night I had enough and went to see the manager on duty (had spoken to various managers throughout the week) and he was very apologetic, and asked me to step over to another area where we could talk privately. There was only one other person checking in and our voices were quiet and not at all angry, just disappointed.

What he did do, which surprised me was credit me with two night's points for the two bedroom. I was pleased. He also gave me his card and said that prior to our next vacation to call and he will personally make sure that no matter what resort we are in our room will be right.

SSR is our home and we love it there. The room was beautiful, in Congress Park, 2nd floor 2635...I will never forget that room number...but I could have used some air conditioning!

OMG!!! We went in November, stayed in the SAME room. We did not have any air conditioning either. I did have an iron, though. LOL! I noticed the drawer pulls as well. Wonder if they will ever get the air in that room fixed?

Hey cool! It's a great location. And you're right, fun to watch the boats come and go.

Now can you believe that??? What in the world are they doing??? I swear it is a room used for parts. I need to remember that room number in case they ever try to put us in there again. Sorry you had no AC, but at least I know now that we aren't crazy!

No room at the inn ..... well the Treehouses anyway.
I tried today to book the Treehouse Villas Dec. 5-11 and there is no availability! I am just dumbfounded. Never did I expect there to be no availability on the first day of the booking window.....
So, we're now in a 2 Bedroom and waitlisted for the Treehouse.

The same thing happened to us for our July trip. We booked at the 11 month window and the treehouses were unavailable. We waitlisted and at our 7 month window booked a 2 bdrm at OKW. Of course less then a week later our waitlist came through So don't be surprised if you're on the waitlist for awhile.

I feel your pain as I was also shut out at 9:01 am this morning. Remember when nobody liked SSR and complained about being forced to stay there? It looks like Disney's best kept secret is out!

Come on wait list!

Dang!

OK SSR Lovers, just between us, let's all join in on other threads on the DISboards and complain wildly about SSR just to fan the flames of doubt about staying at SSR/THV. Then come back here, compare notes, and talk about how much we enjoyed our last SSR adventure.

Shhhhh . . . somebody may be listening . . .

What about this thread? Should everyone go back and edit their posts as to how "bad" SSR is? Anyone able to develop a secret code for future communications?

Unless, of course, you are considering resale of your ownership at any time...

Once again, I found us floating around on the second page of Mousecellaneous . . . . Just had to "Bump Us" up.

Just for conversation, can anyone tell me if the food selection at the High Rock Springs Pool Bar is any better than the Grandstand Pool Bar?

I have never participated at High Rock Springs eat-a-rama but have had the opportunity to graze at the Grandstand.

Hi. We have been SSR owners since 2005 and thought I would hop on. We don't know about the food from the Grandstand but from what I've seen it looks good. But we love to stay at the Grandstand. The pool area is just so relaxing for us. The main pool has always been too crowded and no where to sit for us. So the Grandstand has become our absolute favorite area to stay. It has a nice pool, nice hot tub, the bar, a play area for the kids, what more do we need? We have stayed there three times and just love it!!!!!

 

[Sheribo]

Just read that they are building a new pool area with water features, bar and food service at the Paddock. Cool!

We leave for our first THV stay on Monday! We're very excited about it.
