Lots of pretty photos in this thread. And it's clear that the grounds will be even prettier once the greenery grows in a bit more.

I have a worry today as well, we have been given 2006 pts with our purchase with a sept year use. I had to phone my guide yesterday to bank these pts, anyway he hasn`t phoned back - I know they are very busy but?
Any advice?

Hope you get it sorted out
Do you have an e mail address for your guide

Meryl, I think MS is closed today. However, we were in the same predicament as you. We called MS on Saturday to bank our points and mentioned we thought we needed to bank them by 28th feb. The woman at MS said that with new members they very often give you a few weeks grace for banking as a lot of people aren't able to make the decision straight away regarding whether they want to bank. So I think you're fairly safe but you do need to call MS as I don't think your guide can do it for you.

All sorted now! Our guide phoned me with a member # and put me through to member services so we got the points banked and 19 nights at SSR booked for this Nov / Dec
So thanks again

We bought sight unseen in Jan 2006. We did an add on at SSR within 2 months. Our first trip was Oct 2006 for 2 weeks with our entire family. We had two 2-bedroom suites and one studio. It was awesome. We returned in December for 2 weeks.

We also own at VWL. We have stayed VWL, BCV and OKW. I must say, SSR is our favorite. It is so removed and peaceful. I actually like the large size of the property. It is spacious. I also like being able to rent a car and park it outside of my room.

We don't spend any time looking out of our windows, so the view hasn't mattered much. We have stayed in the Paddocks and Congress Park. Loved them both.

Had a trip planned for this past week, in fact, I would still be there, but I ended up in the hospital, so had to cancel the day before arrival.

Our next trip is 4/27-5/5/07. Can't wait. I am hoping the new section is open by then.

Only on New Years EVE now. I'm not sure about the fourth of July. A few years back they stopped the daily/weekly shows at DTD.

We were at SSR last 4th of July. There were fireworks. They had a pool party at CP. No crowds no fuss.We had a great time. We went to the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom the night before and it was a zoo! Never again. I appreciated the peace and quiet of SSR after that night.

Well it is finally time to leave for our first trip home to SSR. We are leaving one day early because of bad weather moving in from the west. Wish us luck with our drive to Portland ME to catch our flight tomorrow.

 

[conciergekelly]

Have a great time. What a great time to go. Enjoy the warmth! Drive safe.

Wow what a beautiful photo.

Thanks and thanks for this thread.

 

[liznboys]

At about this time tomorrow, we'll be checking into SSR!! AHHHH, I cannot wait to get back HOME!!

 

[ont/ohana]

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!
