SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[BroganMc]

I'm back. Took a looksee at the AKV showrooms. They are gorgeous so all you AKV owners should be very happy. I'm lusting after all the space in the 1-bedroom living room/kitchen. My guide has been told the layout should be the one we see in Kidani (including the roll-in shower), but I don't trust that. Besides the beds are so high I think I need a crane to get in them. (Being short and disabled is not convenient.)

Anyhoo, it's too hot for the pool right now so I sent my dad on. (I'll go in a couple hours.) So here are my morning pics:

This is my wake up view from the patio. We have an eastern exposure.

This is our favorite duck "Mallard" who joins us for afternoon drinks when he's foraging whatever the golfers left behind.

This is the view from the Paddocks at about 8am this morning. (It was a bit breezy so we stopped off at AP for coffee and hot cocoa on our morning walk.)

My dad goofing off at the Paddocks playground (near the pool). Yes there's a rock climbing wall and yes he's 75 and sporting a mohawk.

Walking along the Paddocks toward Congress Park (notice the ducks).

Congress Park near its pool.

View of DTD from the corner gazebo in CP about 9am this morning. (It's the only gazeboo I've seen without steps.

My beloved swans waking up on the DTD lake.

Haven't seen any otters yet but Congress Park is loaded with bunnies. And I think I glimpsed our elusive eagle in the Paddocks lake this morning. He flew so fast I couldn't snap a picture. Also salamanders and love bugs aplenty.

Any other requests for photos?

How 'bout one of me poolside sippin' on a margarita?

Oh wait...I'm not on vacation, you are.

I guess it's back to work for me!!!

I would like to see a front view of your dad sportiing that mohawk! Thanks for the other pics, they were wonderful.

 

[TenThousandVolts]

tomandrobin,

We will be there same time as you! We check in 5/26!

If you see a gaggle of dysfunctional folks, say Hi. We answer to the names: grumpy, goofy, sassy, stinky, crazy, lumpy, prissy and perfect!

I'm not sayin' who is who!

Have a great trip!

We will be the happy, childless couple (at least for the weekend), wandering around the resort, swiming in the pool, going to the gym and spa, etc!

We can easily be found at Artist Pallet around 7:00-7:30 getting our coffee and tea in the morning. Maybe we'll run into you during our stay.

On our last trip we landed at 4:30 and didn't check-in until about 5:45-6:00. We were placed in Paddocks- I asked the cm if anything was available in Springs/Grandstand/CongressPark (we had a request for CP) and she said no- there only 2 studios available- both in Paddocks. As it turned out we liked our location- but next time I am going to try for an earlier check-in and cross my fingers for that DTD view!

I know, I am worried that choices may be limited, but at least we'll be home!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Thanks for the pics! Looks like kids of any age will love the playground!

What locations have the playgrounds?

I know they have 1 in Congress Park and 1 in Paddocks (close to the Carousel section) There may be others but I am not certain. They are marked on the SSR map.

 

[Treacle44]

have any of the studios got two queen beds as opposed to a bed and a sofa pullout?

Thanks

Only OKW has two beds in a Studio. I do wish that DVC would create more of these types of rooms in all of thier resorts. Not all need to have two beds, maybe 25% or so.

That's weird, I've been reliably informed by someone that they've stayed at SSr in a studio with two beds and it was part of a 2 bedroom lock off.

Sounds to me like they had a 2 bdrm dedicated- I think that is the only way the could have 2 beds in bdrm #2
