SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[mamaprincess]

I am getting so excited! I leave on Saturday night and it can not come fast enough! My first two nights are at AKV and now I am wishing I had just done SSR the entire time.

I know how you feel. We have AKV booked for our upcoming trip in June and I am really leaning toward SSR. I miss home. I'm thinking we could save AKV for our Christmas trip with the kids.

I wish we could add on but WE JUST BOUGHT IN JAN. LOL I am still curious as to what the incentives are though?

Here is a thread discussing the current incentives.

I wish we could add-on as well, but we added-on when AKV went on sale.

I have very good friends that THIS HAPPENED TO TWICE WHILE AT WDW. Once was this year and once about 2 years before I believe. This past time was while at SSR and the other was at AK. IT literally ruined their trips. They have 4 kids and everyone got it. I get so paranoid now about that happeneing to us. UGH

I was wondering if the stomach bug was a seasonal thing in the US. I found this link.

It seems to be seasonal. However, it still is luck of the draw whether you are hit or spared. Last year, there were so many posts about it on the Dis during November. Wouldn't you know, when we got there is December, we saw a girl looking suspiciously ill, being forced to eat her supercalifragilistic breakfast at the GF. That same girl was it the bathroom at the same time I took my youngest. She was getting sick in the sink. I ran out of there so fast! My youngest came down with it a couple days later. Lucky for us it was the last full day of our trip and she licked it in 24hrs.

Hi EdK- The current incentive is $10 off (bringing AKV to $96pp and SSR to $94pp) and developers points:
Buy 200 points get 270 dps
Buy 160 points get 160 dps
Buy 110 points get 100 dps
Very tempting.

I'm confused what are "developers points"?

Thanks!

I actually keep forgetting I'm staying at AKV. I'll be thinking of what I want to do at SSR that first day and then later on I'll remember my first day is at AKV.

Developer points are wonderful We are using our double points we got in September for "most" of our cruise in Feb!!
Just make sure you know all the ins and out of the restrictions with these points!

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Developer's Points: The developer grants you one time use of these points and there are restrictions such as no banking, no transferring, no home resort designation (you must book at or after the 7 month window) they must be used within a certain period (I believe it is 12 months).

So if you bought 110 points and got 100 developer points, you would have an extra 100 points to use- but just once, during the 1st 12 months after purchase.

I believe there are no MFs on Developer's Points also.

Hi EdK- The current incentive is $10 off (bringing AKV to $96pp and SSR to $94pp) and developers points ...

To avoid some potential confusion: the current regular price for both SSR and AKV is $104 per point.
The $ discounts are $10 off SSR and $8 off AKV.

I have to say I was a little nervous about our first trip home this past summer, but I was ever so pleasantly surprised! I had read such negative reviews about the place!
We stayed in Congress Park overlooking DTD. What a gorgeous view! Our room was great and we were right by the stairs. It was a quick walk to DTD, close to the bus stop, and right by the quiet pool. The grounds are beautiful and have such a peaceful atmosphere. We are very happy to call it our home away from home!

We love it, too! Stayed in Grandstand - requested that again! Liked being the first bus stop and the smaller pool! I thought we might try to move to another resort at 7 mo. last time, but decided to try ours out - this time I'm not even thinking about moving our ressie!

I just need to vent...I may have to cancel my trip home to SSR thats coming up 12/2.
I have been having weird dizzy spells for almost 2 months, and they are finally sending me for an MRI tonight, since we've eliminated all the other options, it's not an inner ear infection, not a problem with my eyes, etc,....And I need an ultrasound on my thyroid which I'm getting Monday.
I know I should count my blessings that I am lucky enough to be DVC and go more often than non-DVC'ers, but this was a special trip, about 40 of us are supposed to be getting together.
I won't have the results until my follow up visit 11/21, which is only 11 days before I am supposed to leave for SSR.
If you have any extra pixie dust, send it my way...Thanks for listening

Pixie Dust coming your way!!
