You can add us!!! Stayed at SSR for the first time in Feb. and really enjoyed it. Want to try all DVC resorts at least once so we have a good frame of reference.

i just wanted to spread a little positiveness on this thread. let go of the anger. it's a forum. it's not your life. it doesn't matter in the great scheme of things. count to 10. breathe. it will be okay.

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!!!

I'm not an "ssr lover" but thought you might like to see some positive press about your favorite resort:

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.

Me too! We arrive next week in Orlando to stay with the in-laws for a week and then to SSR for a week. Can't wait!! I just requested congress Park. I hope this was the right choice, but it seems like there are so many good choices we can't go wrong.

My husband and I own at OKW, BWV, BCV, and Vero Beach yet I have had several stays at SSR. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them!

I find the DVC Resorts are all unique and each have something to offer that the other do not. I loved the Upstate NY theming of SSR and the cherry wood furniture is very impressive in the units.

I have actually stayed in Congress Park (through no request) each visit and find the location to be great.

So give SSR a try if the opportunity arises. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

I believe a lot of people use www.gardengrocer.com for groceries. I haven't used them yet, but read about them on the DIS.

I have to sat SSR has really grown on me. I wasn't blown away the first time I went there....as a guest of my brother, but I ended up buying into DVC there. But the property has grown on me. I love just wandering around the grounds, love being able to walk to DTD at any time, even tho I never buy anything

Can't wait to get there in Oct to see the completed phase 3.

I just wanted to post here because I just sent in my payment and closing document on our SSR resale contract.

I enjoyed reading the thread and found some helpful information for our first trip home next summer.

does the counter service and table service at this resort accept DDP?

 

[loribell]

Yes they do accept the DDP.

I sent in my deposit for a resale at SSR a few days ago. How long does it normally take on a resale from start to finish? Now that I made the move, I want it yesterday.

Assuming everything goes through I'll get some points this year which will work out fine depending on how soon closing etc is. My DD wants to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween thingy and Universal's Haunted Halloween thingy too in October. I figure that I can use these points for three nights in a studio. Maybe???

Not sure exactly how long the whole resale process takes but I am thinking somewhere in the area of 30 - 45 days. So you should be able to make it in October.

I do have one question for you though. How old is your DD? I have heard that HHN at Universal is very, very scary. Just an FYI in case you didn't know that.

Good luck with the resale!

We just had our closing today and they told us we should be in the Disney system in 7-10 days.

My DD will be 20 in September. She went with her brother and his GF last October and thought it was great. I didn't go because I'm a chicken. My son's GF wanted to leave early because she was terrified of it. (She's 18). Either way, I just want the sale to go thru fast.

Well then I bet she will do just fine then. I have never been but have seen many reports about people taking young kids and that it is not the place for them.
