SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[kdepot]

Just bought in at SSR add me to the list of new owners waiting to go "HOME" for the first time. We are waiting for our passwords to access our account and "home" planning will begin.

We are from North Alabama and we own at SSR. We have stayed at our home resort once (AKL and OKW since then) and are going to stay there again in December. We love the rooms at SSR but I may have to pick the AKL as my favorite. Honestly though, is there really a bad resort at Disney? Anywhere at Disney is my happy place!

Sorry it took so long to write back, I just found the thread again. It took about 2 1/2 weeks. I was quite relieved to find out we passed. Any new news from you Secretprincess?

Congratulations on passing. It has been 16 days....uggh...torture ! I can't imagine if I do pass ROFR still have to wait another couple weeks to close and get account. Next time I am buying right from Disney- instant gratification !!! When is your next trip ?

I wonder how mamaprincess is doing? I wonder if the producers are going to hit them with a gag order until the show airs? Hope not!

Thank heavens for this thread- I really need to get to my happy place- I have been so stressed lately- at least I can go in my mind by coming here!

I do not normally go off-topic on a thread, but congratulations on your 27lb loss tenthousandvolts!

150pts of SSR is mine, now I just have to wait for closing papers and then be entered into the system. The wait process is mind numbing. Hopefully I will forget about it in a couple years when we have money to add on. Hope it is like Tenthousandvolts said " like childbirth". Yeah that was not so bad, I could have another. I only screamed " oh fudge" how bad could it have been ? Right >? Gotta go ready to go to WDW

I am so excited to go "home" in August. See you then.

We just bought another 100 pts. at SSR!! We could've done AKL, but SSR is our favorite! Now we have a total of 250 pts....so much more we can do with that!

Just found out that I passed ROFR - 175 beautiful points for SSR are all mine. Can't wait for my first trip "Home" . Hopefully the closing paperwork will come from TSS quickly. I'd love to get into the system in time to book a trip at the end of January 2009....

Thanks! Actually it is more like 24 right now (too many school picnics, cupcakes...) but I am still pretty happy and hope to be back to 27 pounds by the end of next week.

We just did an add on of 100 points. Our other 150 is at bwv. I honestly had no plans to ever stay anywhere but bwv because of location. To those ssr lovers, how long does it usually take to get to the parks by bus? We have a stroller, so being able to avoid the bus for 2 parks is great.

We are sending in our deposit and signed contract tomorrow on a small SSR contract!! I hope we pass ROFR

Thank you, Podsnel, for the trip report. Only 19 days until we're off to SSR for our first trip home. It sounds like you had an awesome time with your friend. That's just great. I bet it won't be 10 years between visits ever again, now that you have your DVC!

Just returned from a small vacation with friends - just had to show them the wonderful & relaxing life of SSR!

All was just as expected and hoped for; and we just love the hot tub at 6:30 Am - so soothing! Just what we Boomers need to get going!

I discussed the subject of the buses with a Cast Member stationed at Congress Park. I commented that we would have no problem with the drivers checking for resort I.D.s to try to eleiminate the "Parking for free at DTD and jumping the bus at Congress Park" problem. The CM was very polite (as expected), but said Disney would never ask to see I.D.s in fear of upsetting a guest. Rather the drivers are trained in recognizing the situation and are prepared to answer questions posed by the bus jumpers in such a way as to cause them to refrain from using the bus service. We didn't have any particular bus problems as in waiting too long, but many of the busses were filled to the gils with lots getting off at Congress Park.

Glad I didn't see them all at the Hot Tub!

What a wonderful thread. We love SSR, in fact, we just added 200 points to our original contract and were glad we came in "under the wire" as it seems SSR is close to being fully sold.

A little side story on our first visit home. We were checking in and found out we would be in room 1127. Funny thing is, that's the date my wife and I got engaged (Nov. 27th). We use that (1127) constantly to say "love you" to each other in text messaging or emails or IM's. And there it was as our first room at our home resort. Special.

Just a little bit of Disney magic at SSR for us!
