Corinna,
Nice pics. I felt like all I did was take photos and now I look back and realize it was the some of the everyday views that were so great and I didn't capture many of them!!

Of 1000 pics I snapped in December, I found I took absolutely 0 at my resort. I have kicked myself mercilously over that.

In my defense, I think I was just so relaxed when I was there that I sort of slipped out of commando vacation mode. (Previous week I was at a Marriott and busy ferrying a Disney newbie friend about to all the parks. I was plumb tuckered by the time we got to SSR and put him on the Magical Express home.)

Corinna, I love that fountain image. Anyone else notice the swan detail on it? Now I know why those SSR ponds/lakes have swans. God, those are the most graceful creatures I've ever seen.

We really loved our Oct 06 stay at our 3rd DVC home. It was a very relaxing place to be. All of the water was wonderful. The elevators are great. I loved being able to walk to DTD. We enjoyed the pool area and the restaurant (although the name escapes me at the moment). It was a great stay. Can't wait to go back.

Wow, those little touches (like the elevator floor) really make me wonder what other little touches go unappreciated at SSR. I'm a newbie...going in September for our first time and can't wait to really check out this resort. I admit I didn't want to buy SSR at first but the more I hear, the better I think it is.

Thanks so much for the pics and reports...SSR just looks relaxing and enjoyable...like your favorite pair of jeans...

I think, as far as DVC resorts, that most of the little touches don't go unnoticed. As DVCer's we go to WDW more often then most people. Most people maybe go once in their lifetime. They're on commando mode. I would think most DVCer are in a more relaxed mode. JMHO

You have a point about the little touches at SSR, I think. There are lots of subtle things about SSR that make it a great place to stay. Yes, it doesn't hit you over the head with them in the planning stages like some other DVC resorts (mini waterpark, themepark in walking distance etc. etc.) but when we stayed there, we found a lot of things to really love about the place. Yes, some of them are subtle, but they add up.

I think it is a little fancier than jeans, but I get your point. I think, if I may, that SSR is like a pair of dress shoes that are attractive and unbelievably comfortable, too.

Wow. Great pictures. Now I am officially homesick.

While I don't own points at SSR, I do love it there! My last few trips have been SSR stays. In fact, I'll be staying there in just three short weeks! I check in March 16th! I can't wait to get there!

 

[tomandrobin]

I will see you there, Kelly! D.C. sounds like a neat trade-in, too.

First, Love the Pics!! Everytime I see pics of the resorts, it just takes me back to SSR!!

Second, let us know how the trip to DC goes for you. I am interested in doing something like that, but really want to hear feedback on the experience first!

Hi all

My girls and I have all been sick with the flu. Now all three of my girls have upper respiratory infections. There is no rest for the weary.

Anyway I'll try to update the first page this weekend with the new names that I have seen. Welcome home to all the new SSR Lovers! Hope everyone is doing ok.

Athenna, come back and tell us all about your trip ok. Have a magical, pixie dust filled time.

Sorry to hear that. Mine usually get sick in March . The youngest has had a bad virus/cold at that time for 3 yrs straight. Doctor laughed about his consistancy.

so everyone gets better.

I hope your girls feel better soon mamaprincess!!

Thanks! And of course now that you are a member, you'll have plenty of future photo opportunities at our resort.

Brogan,
Don't kick yourself - I have never taken enough resort photos before, and do you know why I took enough this time? I never would have done it if I hadn't been inspired by that DVC resort photo thread AND if I hadn't been writing that live report. It never would have occurred to me to take so many "hotel" pictures before. The first time I took a few resort photos was on my third Disney trip, and I realized that those are some of the photos I most enjoy looking at.

That fountain is a nice one, for sure. I love the little swans at the bottom. Just SO attractive. That whole BBQ pavilion/fountain area is a really pretty little garden. I think I might have preferred to have a quiet pool and laundry facility in that area. There is no cuter picnic area, though!

Thanks Starr W. and liznboys. They are getting their slowly but surely.
