Thank you so much! I'm so excited

We bought DVC at SSR on our (belated) Honeymoon cruise on the Magic in March without ever visiting the resort. I do remember going past it on one of the bus trips to somewhere but thats the closest I've gotten.

We are 'going home' for the first time Aug 7-13th and I am toooo excited!!!

Any hints for first timers?

Also, I've never been in Aug... any hints/info for this time of year would also be welcome!

Congratulations! SSR is gorgeous and a real escape from the hecticness of the parks. Many people enjoy the Springs and Congress park sections for their proximity to the main pool and the Carriage House. The Grandstand is a brand new section with it's own feature pool. Maybe have some idea of where you might want to stay and request that area with some back up locations incase your preferred area is full.

My family and I spend a lot of time at Downtown Disney. You may want to look at some menus on allears.net and plan on having a dinner or 2 there. DTD also has some of the best counter service in WDW. We love the breakfast at Wolfgang Puck express (along with pretty much everything else). We also enjoy Earl of Sandwich. Cookes of Dublin is getting some really great reviews for there fish and chips. There is great shopping also.

You may indulge yourself with spa treatment. Remember to not over do it. August is hot. Evening EMH's may come in handy. Spend a lot of time in the pool.

punkin,

I think the moderators already edited out the attempt to anger and bash from the other person who posted. Wow! They were quick and I give them a BIG THANK YOU!!! I have never seen something done so quickly and admirably. Thanks again to all of you who or over-seeing these posts.

I'm counting down, next week at this time I will be checking in to my first DVC trip and my new experience of being "home" at Saratoga Springs.

 

[mamaprincess]

Maybe it was just a weird glitch. Try again.

My reply wasn't bad though! Just stating how nice all the resorts are! Yes, SSR is beautiful!

If you quoted the troll, your post disappears too. And I agree - SSR is beautiful!

"Disbanned" was a troll! Mean-spirited; looking to cause trouble.

From dictionary.com:

..... regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll

Don't reply to 'em - just report 'em! That's what the Red Triangle button (under the post count by the Screen name) is for.

The one he said he was going to start about SSR-as in not liking it!

Don't be worried - it's been a problem the last several days. Today I don't think anyone could check their reservations (and some couldn't log into the site at all)

Hi back, neighbor! Grayson/Lawrenceville here! You've got some good outlet shopping in Jefferson!!

I hope someone here can help. We are going to SSR for the first time in August (whoooo hooooo!) and I was planning on getting some groceries delivered through Disney. I just checked out the list of available items , and aside from being rather expensive they don't have the soda I want (diet Sprite) . I know that somewhere in here I saw where people are putting in grocery orders with local stores and having it delivered but I can't seem to find it.

What do you think is the best way to buy some groceries and who are the local grocery stores?

Thanks a bunch!!!
