Kerri:

when you check in the CM will give you an events calandar for the week. Some events are scheduled (pool part every sunday for example). My kids love to do the arts and crafts they offer (free or small fee) every day!

There is a table service rest, (Turf Club Bar & Grill) however when we were there last year it was under renovation, so i can not report on the meals. The Artists Palette offers counter service (decent breakfast) for the other meals you can easily walk to DTD from the Congress Park area, or take the water shuttle...
Enjoy your trip home!

GREAT THREAD!

DW and I just closed last week and we have already booked an Interval week (in Williamsburg) for this summer, as well as a 2 B/R Villa at SSR (HOME SWEET HOME) for Xmas Week! We're taking the sister-in-law and her family to SSR and we are soooo looking forward to it.

Quick question: We requested The Springs for our Xmas visit. DW wanted to be in the middle of the "action." Can anyone recommend a particular section/view within the Springs that we can request? Is there a "bad" view?

Hi when you check in you will get a schedual of the activities for kids. You are not suppose to leave your kids alone in building but some people did.(there kids were older too) We stayed with our children 5 and 8 while they made t shirts 12.50 I think. They play music at the pool ( HS musical) and hoola hoops as well as a bingo type trivia game. THe kids all won the same prize of stickers! My kids were happy with that!
There is a counter service and a table service restaurant both are nice. My daughter drew a nice picture and a CS made a huge deal of announcing she was the artist of the day- in artist palet (counter).
Go to the disboards.com and click on restuarants and they will give you the menus for everything your heart desires!

Thanks...for the info...
Going may 22...cant wait

I read somewhere that once all the renovations are done at DDT the fireworks and a possible water show will becoming back to DDT,SSR. I will try and search for the article. We are contemplating a trip for June to stay in the new Grandstand probably going to have to put it off til the Fall, to much going on. But we will be cruising the FOS in April out of Miami.

I have been wondering about a picture that i saw in the Disney annual report magazine. It has renderings of new projects in the centerfold. Some are already planned and announced and some aren't. Well anyway, there is one of a "new night time water spectacular". It is similar to Fantasmic, laser, water spray animation. That would be cool in that area because it would be a bit more quiet and probably could be seen from both sides of the lake. I have been wondering if that is what they have planned instead of fireworks.

I read on one of the WDW fan sites that the night time water show was going to Disney's California Adventure.

Something like that would be PERFECT for Downtown Disney though. SSR has that lovely viewing platform next to the lake. It would also keep diners and shoppers at DTD longer into the evening. They would all stay to see the show.

That is probably what it is then. Oh well, one could dream.

I am another SSR owner! We bought it sight unseen while we were at DL last year. We are going for our first WDW trip in Oct. We plan on doing MNSSHP and the F&WF. Talk about starting off big .. lol!

I am trying to figure out a way to go for DH's b-day too as a surprise for him!

 

[Marshay]

Welcome Home! There are a number of us who bought "sight unseen", so the more the merrier!

Hi, my name is Erika, and this is a GREAT thread!!! I had been looking for some review of SSR... we arrive there in just 19 days. The pictures look fantastic, and we are really excited to try out a new resort.

I'm torn about which buildings to request. At first I thought definitely Congress Park for the DTD view. But the Springs seems like a really great location for the kids to be near the pool. Our boys are 5 and 7.

You can add us to the list.... 3/25-4/2

 

[DutchsMommy]

Just booked our first trip 'home'. DS and I will be travelling to SSR May 17-21. MS was very helpful as it was my first call.

Now all I have to do is book my flights and start planning our park days - gawd I love this!

 

[DisneyFreaks]

Welcome Home to all you new owners!! Our trip is during Halloween. We will have a 2 year old and a 5 year old with us. Do they have trick or treating at SSR and if so where in particular?

Also, help me convince my family to keep our SSR reservations. They are now talking about trying to switch to VWL or OKW.
