Hey neighbors! Just wanted to share we received our pkg today for our little add-on at SSR!

We're just a lil bit excited.

Brogan - TomandRobin ....... we too have booked our SSR NYE trip! Your posts & pictures from last year were quite enticing! We've booked a 2BR and are hoping my parents will join us! Either way - we'll be down at the pool for the party! Can't wait to celebrate the new year with our SSR neighbors!

That's what we're doing too!! We're going down for NYE (my DH, DD, and I) and we are bringing my parents AND staying in a 2br. Weird!!

That IS funny! We, however, have 3 kids ........ Hey, since you only have the one DD, do you need to borrow one of ours? It would even us out!

Well, we are certainly planning to attend the pool party on NYE! How 'bout y'all?

Congrats on your addition! We will see you pool side!

SSR has a pool party on NYE at the Congress Park pool. It's fairly lowkey with Community Hall staff arranging games and activities starting at 9pm. At midnight everyone has a front seat view of the fireworks PI sets off in the lake. This year some of us who are returning are planning to organize a DISmeet.

NYE Party Organizer 2008 .......Keep up the good work!

My exciting news...I added one more day to our Dec SSR stay! lol Woohoo!

I will take what I can get! Dec 7-11 ...will miss the Merry Mixer I am sure...especially if on THurs, that will be our departure day!Will have to save up more points (or add on ) to stay on a holiday

 

[BCV2002]

Definitely going to stay at the resort for NYE. We're thinking of going to a dinner at another resort, maybe 1900 Park Fare or Chef Mickey's, then heading back to SSR to watching the fireworks from the balcony. I doubt our DD (who'll just be 1 year old then) will wanna stay up to watch the fireworks!!

 

[mouseaddicts]

Gotcha! You probably won't get your DD to see the fireworks that night ..... and if you do, she probably won't feel like acting nice about it!

We will have DD15, DD11 and DS9 by then, so we will DEFINITELY be poolside for the party!


I'm excited to hear we're planning a Dis meet that week! Please keep us on the list Brogan!!! We're included on the "official" list of DVC members going in December. I see a LOT of Dis'ers will be @ SSR during our time frame. It would cool to meet up.

So who wants to start a photo thread??

The majority of the photos are at the beginning of this thread. There are tons if you start at the 1st page and work your way in.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

I think there is a sticky for DVC photos too!

MamaPrincess, what are your dates in late May? We are arriving on the 30th of May! Would love to meet a Disneighbor!

Someone please tell me where you are getting all of your great graphics, like MamaPrincesses sign and the cute little Dis characters. If this all on Tickerfactory Im lost, so please some one find me!!

We are happy SSR owners. Add us to the list!

We bought in to DVC @ SSR nearly a year ago now - I think the closing was last May - and we've stayed there once, during October for F&W. Our next trip we're staying at OKW, *only* b/c we didn't have enough points to do the stay at SSR. We're thinking of adding more points in the near future, too.

Hello all !! Just wondering if:
The paths to downtown Disney are clearly marked from the Grandstand area
and how much time does it take to walk there compared to the boat ride ?
Thanks to all who respond !!

 

[DisneyBride'03]

I did this walk!
I did not see any paths clearly marked! lol...I just enjoyed the walk, and walked in the direction to the water...lol, where I eventually found the path!

It was a pleasant morning, enjoyed the walk, waved to guests on their balconiesI think it took perhaps a good15 minutes or so? Maybe 20....

It depends on how long you would have to wait for a boat....you may just miss one..etc...I would do it just for fun! I didnt do it on the way back though

Just booked our 1st trip Home to SSR in a 2BR for Jan 09. Hopefully we'll get the Grandstand area (Springs would be fine too). Not sure if it will be warm enough to enjoy the pool/water play areas, but we'll have 5 little ones who will sure try!

We're also at SSR for NYE. We are on the list too. Just wanted to say hi! This will be our first time for NYE. We were there to check out the Christmas decorations and go to MVMCP Dec 06, but never for Christmas break. I think our plan will be to hang out by the pool also with DD10 & DS13, well 11 & 14 at the time.

Were Canadian DVC'ers! We bought at SSR last Sept/07 while aboard the Magic. Sight unseen. We figured, with the strong CDN$ and the fact we love Disney. This was a no brainer.
We have our first trip home to SSR Aug/08
