SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

Movie nights entailed a large screen being erected at High Rock Spring Pool. Whilst we were there they showed movies at 8-00pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights which inc. Finding Nemo, Alice in Wonderland, HSM2 etc. The kids loved just sitting in the pool and watching the films.

It really is just another Disney touch that you don't get elsewhere. It's things like this (as well as all the others that Disney do so well), that entice you come back again and again.

That sounds awesome! I'm sure my kids would love that! I have another question.....Is there a washer and dryer in the rooms?

 

[MarkLyndaJakeChloe]

You will find washer/dryers in all rooms except studios. There are communal laundry rooms adjacent to all the pools which are free to use (you just need to pay for the detergent [or bring your own])

Just another benefit of DVC.

Thanks Mark!! We just recently closed on our contract at OKW, but it looks like we'll be staying at SSR for our first trip as DVC members. This thread is really getting me excited about it! Thanks for your help!

The great thing is...while enjoying SSR...you can ferry it over to OKW and check out your home resort!!!

I did the opposite in Dec...we will be at OKW soon!!

We'll be headin' back to SSR on Monday and I can't wait. We have stayed in Grandstand and have requested again. I really like the first on/first off the bus stop and we don't find the walk to the main building and pool any issue. We also have the added bonus of the Grandstand pool if we wanted to just pop in there for a quick dip. Can't wait to be back with the Mouse!

We love SSR!! I agree about atomsphere at SSR...it is so relaxing after a long day (dealing with tons of people) at the parks. It always feels like we are the only ones there... One of my favorite things to do is, sit on the balcony of a DTD view room and just relax & watch the lights at DTD.

We've been VERY happy SSR Owners since 2004, our first stay there being July of 2005 for the first half of our honeymoon!! We just went for a week in Oct of 2007 and will be bringing the kids in Jan 2009. This will be DD's second time in Disney, her first at SSR and DS's first time in WDW. We all just got back from an incredible week on the Disney Magic!! Anyone else going to be at SSR Jan16-23 in 09?

DW,DD & I just booked for 7 nights!!!
We're in a 2-bdrm & 1-studio and are on the wait
list for a Grand Villa...fingers crossed!

Last visit we stayed in the Springs and loved it!
I requested it again... but that's second to getting
a Grand Villa. Either way, we'll be there!!!

So much has been added since Apr of '05..can't wait
to see how all the foliage has filled in as I'll go for
an early morning walk with camera in hand around SSR!

Did that last time around 6:30a.m. and only came across
three joggers! Talk about peaceful! I can't wait to see
the new sections...everyone's photos are fantastic!

Getting very psyched for our trip!
This time there'll be 10 OF US!!! WOO HOO!!!

Congratulations! We stayed at OKW for our first trip home and loved it! The rooms are so spacious and the resort is beautiful! With the warm Florida sun, you really feel like you are on an island resort some place! I think you are going to be very happy with your decision!

Enjoy SSR! We own there but have never stayed!

Thanks Blake! We're actually going to do a split stay between SSR and OKW. We needed a 2-bdrm and SSR was the only place that had one available for our timeframe. So we'll stay at SSR while the parents are with us and then we're going to move over to a studio at OKW after they leave.

Ok, I just did something that this SSR lover never thought she'd do (not for a while anyway)...I switch at my 7 month window to BWV for my Oct. trip....My BF wanted to try it out, I think being able to stagger home after a full day of F & W is what got him most excited And being so close to Jellyrolls, too!

But have no fear, SSR is still my home and I'll be back as soon as I can

Hope you all forgive me?

 

[DisneyBride'03]

We'll think about it!!! lol

Just kidding. I think it's great to try out other resorts.

Apparently you missed the memo where I did this a month ago. But I'm going for the first three days of F&W. The next 11 I'll be at SSR.

I figure it's like meeting up with an old school sweetheart. As long as you remember who you're committed enough to for lifetime, it doesn't hurt to see what else is out there.

Now if you make a habit of it, then I think there may be grounds for separation.

 

[Harley-Mouse]

We will be at AKV then moving over to SSR how early do you think I might get a room? I have checked in to HHI at 7:00 am and got my room. We will be in SSR July 15 - 21 studio if I go over when the family is sleeping do you think I could get a room?

Ok, good, I feel forgiven If BroganMc can stay at the BWV for a few days then so can I, darn it

I wont make a habit out if it, trust me!

Hi Fellow SSR lovers!!! I have a quick question which isn't necessarily SSR related. I made ADRs at o'hanas this coming May for my trip and the night we are there is a pirate princess party night. Do they still dub the music in the for the special fireworks that night? I asked on the dining thread but havent gotten an answer yet!!!

I love other resorts but it is always nice to come home!! To Saratoga Springs that is...

 

[Gomez Gang]

thanks for the thread! this May 17-25)will be our first stay at SSR and I am wanting to soak up all info about our resort!
we originally bought in BC and since it seemed we never had enough points, we added SSR before we ever set foot in it and have yet to do so....it is about time!
I am so looking forward to exploring what seems such a beautiful place!
Thanks to everyone for your input!
