SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

That is awesome. We also applied, but haven't heard anything. Of course we didn't hear about it until a few days ago and I suspect they had chosen by then. Have a great time and represent the DIS well with all your knowledge.

I will do my best to represent the Dis and SSR Lovers well. Will you be down during the time frame?

Congrats to you and your family, Mamaprincess!

We're coming down at the end of June and into July. We would have switched our dates though. This trip we are using our DVC points at Fort Wilderness campground as 200 pts more than covers 3 weeks vacation.

Hello everyone. Just finshed reading MOST of the 147 pages here over the last three days. Thanks to all for the great info.

DW and I just completed a 7 night stay at POR last Tuesday. First time back to WDW in 12 yrs for us and first time staying on WDW property.

Cutting to the quick, we became new DVC SSR owners last week. A few days after we signed we went back to SSR to get more aquainted. Loved the walk from DTD Marketplace to CP and CH. We regret not checking more of the resort out like the Grandstand area. We'll have plenty of time for that though won't we?

We are planning our first trip back as DVC members in early December for the Christmas season. Bringing my parents, sis and BIL, with us. Will probably try to get a 2BR at VWL.

mamaprincess enjoy your visit back home! Same to everyone else who has a pending trip.

Now it's off for some time reading some other DVC posts.

Welcome Home georgemoe, from one Central MA Dis'er to another! Good luck w/ the Dec. reservation - that is a very popular time for DVC - if not VWL you may still be able to get into SSR.

Hey Secretprincess - there must be an upstate NY thing going on. I just bought into SSR myself - sight unseen - DH doesn't know - and I'm waiting for ROFR to go through too..... very spooky wouldn't you say?

What's your plan corky ? Are you gonna tell DH ? We are planning a cash trip suddenly using free DP this august. He said we could "check" it out first. Just wait till he see's the bill-maybe that will convince him ?

Where you at ? We are in Rochester ? Are you reading my mind. How many pts. did you buy ? When did your ROFR go in ?

 

[secretprincess]

Hey Secretprincess. Any news? We waited about 3 weeks to pass ROFR. Made our first trip home last March. We had visited SSR before with friends and fell in love. Good Luck.

Still waiting checking my e-mail every day. This has been a long process. My first attempt at purchase did not go well , divorce and seller's ex would not sign, so I had to try again. I also think with the holiday wknd it is gonna take a little longer. Thanks for asking. Hope we love SSR too!

Thanks DisneyFreak43. We didn't get VWL but did get a dedicated 2BR at SSR. I'm going home in December!

Welcome Home Georgemoe! Once you get a chance to see how great staying on property is, you just can't resist the chance to do it for a lifetime can you? We really loved SSR, but we're going to try BWV in March and a few days at SOG, which we also love.

We bought SSR and AKV sight unseen earlier this year. Our first trip home starts June 29! We are about 90 miles south of Rochester, but our trips to Orlanda begin in Rochester! I am thankful for the cheap Rochester to Orlando airfares we've had and hope they continue!

We're flying out on June 29th from ROC for a visit at Saratoga Springs for 10 days! Can't wait! I wonder how many others are from Western or Upstate New York?

I'm sooo jealous. Can I come?? Please.....

 

[Tinkerdreams]

I am so excited, hope my resale goes through quickly as some listed here. I was a little nervous because we bought SSR unseen. But I know all about the Disney magic ! DH does not know yet..oops. Hope he will love it when we get there.

Well an early welcome home!! I also bought SSR beginning of this year sight unseen and heading home in December!! Did not tell DH - its a surprise!! Also from Rochester, NY.

Just wondering how many others will admit to buying w/o their spouses knowledge? I've been buying everything a little at a time (tickets, airfare) He won't have a coronary at the bill. It'll just be for the food and any souvenirs we buy!

I'm in the Buffalo area - a suburb named Cheektowaga. I bought in for 175 points, my contract went in for ROFR 5/19. I'm on pins and needles waiting.

DH and I already had a cash trip planned for this October for 4 days( including 2 weekend days). I'm Hoping and praying that once he sees that bill he'll be ready to take the plunge. I hope to be able to hand him the deed while we're there - it's also his birthday so I think that'll be a great gift...

Hi! from Holtsville, New York. I am a new SSR owner. We have 2 trips planned, one in October at OKW and then February going to SSR.

Hello ssr lovers. In the food court there is this delicious cinnimin bun. Yes I know, I am not able to spell it correctly...

Anyway, where else in WDW can you find these? Our next trip will not be at SSR, but must have one. The ones in MK bakery are not the same goodness.

Help.
