SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

Do they really have summer block parties? If so what are they?

Last year the DVC member block parties were Thursday in early August (and late July - I think???). DVC members have a special VIP area at Pleasure Island in the afternoon with all sorts of free carnival games and free ice cream bars/popcorn/cotton candy/cokes. All the video games in one of the clubs were on "free play" mode and there were dance and trivia contests. Members got a free light-up pin, a hat, and free admission to PI for the rest of the night.

It was GREAT - and SSR was very convenient.

Hi! WE just bought 300 points on sat and are dvc owners for the first time. WE have not even seen SS springs yet, I had looked on board before our trip 1-2-07-- 1-9-07 (all star music in the new family suites) WE went to tour in MK and came home and took the plunge and became DVC members,. We are so excited. Unsure when we are planning to go , I think we will do cruise in november 25th to 29th as it is our 15th anniversary and we want to renew our vows on trip and bring the 3 kids, WE may stay in disney for a few days before or go back in feb or april 08, still deciding but woo hoo we are excited and love reading about how everyone loves it, makes me know that we made the right decision.

Wow...That sounds like so much fun. It seems like there are a lot of special things they do for DVC members. How do you know what's going on when? I have not received my information to log into the website yet. Is all this information listed there?

Thanks! I get more and more excited everytime I read this thread.

Hi Neighbours, jsut found this thread. I am so homesick sitting here looking at all the wonderful pictures.

Bot of a cheer up though I just booked my flights, we will be home 14th to 19 December and then 22nd December to 4th January (hopefully), I still need to book the second part !

I love the Saratoga and would love to share a drink with anyone going at the same time, got to love that Frozen Key Lime Cocktail ...

Thanks for the correction.

Put me down for Nov-30 to Dec 14. We have both weeks booked but will probably cancel at least one of the weekends. For those of you that haven't been down there around the Holidays, we've discovered that it is one of the best times to go. JMHO

We were last there over this Christmas holiday from Dec. 20-28th. I really enjoyed the beautiful decorations at the carriage house as well as the character meet 'n' greets there. It was just a really festive time. They also had holiday-themed activities that children could participate in everyday. We also spent a ton of time at DTD. I also enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere there and just love DTD in general. We do most of our CS there (WGPE and EoS). YUM!!! This year, the DDs did BBB in WOD. It was the cutest thing ever. It will definitely be a staple.

We are planning on heading back over Thanksgiving week. I wish we could do holidays during early december late November, but the kids' school schedules would conflict. However, anytime is a good time at SSR!!!

Starbox, your daughter is the cutest!!! Thanks for the info on the Block Party. Sounds fun!

I see we have lots of new neighbors. Welcome!! You newbies planning your first trip are going to be pleasantly surprized. I sure was. We're going at Food & Wine Festival this year. My DH just loves it then. I swear he tries each and every country's food samples. LoL
Just wanted to thank everyone for the incredible pictures. They actually have got me started making trip plans already! Great idea for the list mamaprincess

I have been looking for the how-to on adding the DVC SSR pic to my signature. And I stumbled here. Although we have owned at SSR since 2005, we have only stayed there once. And it was great. Hoping to do a Grand Gathering there in the summer of 2008 for a bunch of old friends and all of our kids. I have a feeling it will be perfect.

PS......can anybody help me with my signature problem? Pretty, pretty, please

Since you asked so nicely ...http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1329601

I posted instructions for someone on the thread in that link. Just scroll down to post# 14.

 

[pamjb]

Mamaprincess,
Thanx for the instructions, but do you think there may be a problem with Photobucket? I registered for an account, but when I try to upload, it says the site is not found.

DH and I own at SSR. We love the resort, perfect mix between formal and relaxed. I was so looking forward to our first stay at home this October, but unless we get some new points fast we'll be staying at OKW.
