Thanks Ronald for the great pictures. I love looking at everyone's pictures. Can't wait till I'm back home again.

 

[Ronald Duck]

thanks for posting such beautiful photos!!

Looked like you room view was near #8432...? Loved that studio..and this area! Hoping I get it again

That was 8432...perfect, eh? Next time we do Grandstand I'd take that Studio again in a heartbeat!

Diana - what kind of coincidence is this? I had that room; you had that room; and now my good friend Ron and his wife also had that same room!!


Ron - Diana and I are good friends and we're doing a ladies-only Food&Wine trip in September!

I had a great joke about this, but Bob said it was too risque for the DIS
It is a small world.....I know when I saw ROn's pictures , I immediately thought , that has to be the room Laura had, and then I had back in December.
We should all pay the Lotto Pick 4!!

Easiest sale Larrissa ever had,I walked in and said,``you`re on commission time and I`m here on Disney time,forget the schpeel,lets get right to the numbers`` and I closed 2 months later

Thanks for the pictures Ronald, they are absolutely beautiful.

We bought in May and are going home for the first time in 20 days (not that I am counting) for a long weekend and seeing your pictures has doubled my excitement.

OK, so what are your numbers? I recommend 8, 4, 3, and 2!

Diana...please feel free to PM me the risque joke if you feel it's not DIS-tasteful

One more coincidence...before we went in July, I printed out and took along somebody else's pic of a really nice Grandstand room view, and when we got in our room I realized the pic was taken from 8332!

I am so glad I didn't post that joke now.....just remembered what Laura's "moving tag" says under her avatar!!! LOL
A newbie would have stumbled upon this "SSR Lovers..." thread and would think Disney lost its G-rating! LOL

Were headed to SSR this sunday... Yippie

can't wait

 

[bellazachmom]

OK ... never gotten to stay at this beautiful resort but that is about to change!!

Any advice on building requests that will put me close to a bus stop and the food? Possibly close to one of the pools.

I am taking a quick, impromptu trip so that I can take the Castle Suite Tour and it will just be me and my 7 month old. Would like to be as close to things as possible to make doing things with the baby a bit easier.

Thanks!

I highly recommend the 81-84 Building in the Grandstand section. On one side of the building is the Grandstand bus stop (which is the first one at SSR), and on the other side is a great quiet pool (see pics on previous page). Also, it's a pleasant 5-minute walk to food and the main pool.

Good luck and have fun!

Thank you so much! That is the exact kind of advice I am looking for.

We have stayed at OKW a few times but have always had a car. When traveling by air we have stayed at the other resorts. My only real concern about SSR was the size of the property without a car -- thanks to all the wonderful posts and advice on this thread I can now say that concern is gone!

Your pictures, by the way, are BEAUTIFUL!!

I second the Grandstand section-get location. Have a GREAT trip!!

 

[bellazachmom]

Thank you!!

Hopefully a little pixie dust will come my way and I get the building request. If not, it will still be a wonderful trip!

OK, I have a question about requesting a room. Our first trip is next month, and we'll be checking in early in the day (we're spending our arrival night in a resort room). Do we need to call MS to put a room request on our reservation, or is it equally effective to simply tell them where we'd like to stay once we arrive? Advice would be helpful. TIA.

 

[cathydisneynut]

Put your request in before you arrive. And get there early!

Thanks. I appreciate the advice.

 

[oakmanner]

I'd call MS and have it added to your reservation and arrive early on check-in day! Good luck!

Strolled around SSR tonight. Beautiful place. Ate at the Turf Club- one of the best meals I have had at Disney. Delicious.
Great club feel in the area outside of Turf Cluf- people were gathered watching the Olympics and having drinks, playing pool- really fun atmosphere.
Walking along the river in front of Congress Park is lovely.
