SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[loribell]

Welcome hrsmom! Yes some of those threads get rediculous. SSR is a wonderful resort & I can't wait to be back home.

BroganMC - I travel so I can get a break from my home state, especially the wind! Maybe I should move to Maryland!

Only if you can put up with aggressive drivers. It's much more peaceful when you're an oblivious passenger. But still drive over the western mountains from Ohio & West Virginia and you'll notice the roads in Maryland are rose-tinted. (Honest, they are PINK.)

It's a pretty state. We have a mix of mountains, plains and beach towns. (And insane cosmopolitan cities inbetween.) But Disney will always be my home-away-from home. In fact, let me stay only on-property (at SSR) and avoid those nutty Florida interstate drivers and I'm a happy camper. Orlando is probably the only other place I've seriously thought "I could live here".

Those Western Maryland roads are pretty cool! Maryland drivers aren't that aggressive. DC drivers, Philadelphia, Jersey are alot worse. And NYC drivers makes us Marylander drivers look like those Amish buggy driver!

Hi there! Proud SSR owner and lurker on this thread for some time! Would you belive that at 32, I just learned to drive, and in DC of all places!! You can imagine how much fun it was to be downtown DC during rush hour traffic on my 4th time behind the wheel EVER!! I figure it's like the song says about another great city, "if I can drive it here, I can drive it anywhere!!"

Well, that might be a little much for me. But we do have the idiot drivers here too. I live in a very small town (about 4000) and there are times that the traffic bothers me. I probably wouldn't make it in a big metropolitan area, would I?

Welcome Home jamaka!

When in September are you going? Someone here may have the same trip plans. Not me. I'm headed down in October.

Oh but if you're going in late September you may be able to go to the Halloween party at MK and Food & Wine Festival at Epcot. It's a great time of year to do Disney.

Now that takes moxy! I just learned a year and a half ago, but at least I just had to start in the burbs. We have a lot of DC commuters in the area. Rush hour by my little country road development (nestled between two highways) is always a blast. But still I haven't gotten lost yet like my sister did once in DC. 15 minutes going round and round Dupont Circle trying to find the exit lane. That was funny.

I won't touch the Capitol Beltway yet though. I don't have that much of a death wish.

Well those NYC-burb drivers don't really practice the same rules of the road as the rest of the world. It's more like an evil version of bumper cars. But I have far too many DC commuters in my county. why they all had to move here is beyond me. There are sections of Columbia I won't touch because of the aggressiveness. You know the type: light turns green and they gun the engine; they see you and blare their horn instead of letting off the gas; they see a change lane turn signal as a personal challenge to see who can speed fastest.

Florida drivers can be remarkably as bad. Too many Northeasterner transplants, if you ask me.

We are doing 4 days at SSR and 3 days at VB from 9/8-9/15. We decided to purchase as we took our kids for years and now we can take our grandson. We plan his and his father's first Disney trip for Sept. 08. My daughter is already planning the trip.

Ah such fun in store for you and your family. I like nothing more than to see my nieces and nephews enjoy the park. (My nephew marched into my house today toting his Lego play armor and announced where he most wants to go when he's in Disney this October is LegoLand. Unfortunately, he thinks LegoLand is in California. Georgraphy is not his strong suit.)

Have you requested a section yet?

 

[jamaka66]

We haven't requested a specific place for this trip, we really want to see the whole place. But my daughter spends hours on the disboards and she wants either the Springs or Grandstand when we go in Sept of 08. She's been researching.

There is a LegoLand in Calif! It is south of DL, north of San Diego!

Welcome Home, hrsmom!


3DisneyKids: I can't comment yet on BWV, we are going "home" for the first time in June! Just excited to see it - as far as the bashing, I think some people just have to be negative and try to squash others' excitement! We don't want them at our pool anyway, right?

RIGHT!

Don't tell my nephew that! He'll be sorely disappointed when he figures out the van he's in is headed South not West.

I blame myself. I have one of those photo calendars and this month has pics of the Flower & Garden festival. He focused on that right away. Poor little tots. All my nieces and nephews want to go on my many Disney trips but their ogre parents insist they go to school. As if that's important.

The weather here is gorgeous today and we had a nice spring rain yesterday - the whole world is turning green. For some reason, it feels so much like Florida in the winter that I was just longing to be at SSR this morning. Of course it is not winter there now! I was just thinking how nice it would be to stroll around on the walking paths, swim in the pool, have a nice clean villa kitchen. <sigh>
