SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[Brenle]

Hello

Your thoughts please.

We are staying at SSR for the first time in August (first time disney).

We are staying in a two bed villa.

Where would you recommend we request to stay.

Would not like to be near the pool building works.

Eight of us, two teenagers in that, have a car

???

I'd recommend the grandstand section. Two of the buildings are very close to the pool and it's a short distance to the ferry to DTD and the main pool. We have stayed in that section all three times at SSR - in a two bedroom villa - and have LOVED it. I hope you have a great first stay at Disney.

I would! I suppose someday I will want to stay at BLT so I can say I've stayed at all the resorts, but being close to MK and seeing the Fireworks are not enough perks to give me and overwhelming desire to stay there. I can't wait for my next stay at SSR which will be way too far in the future. I love that it's so close to DTD. Epcot is pretty close and it's just an overall nice place to stay.

I like the idea of sitting in the rocking chair down by the river! Being close to DTD has it's perks-Ghiradelli ice cream and chocolate shop!!

We have tried BLT we needed the pullout chair. And i agree the Fireworks were fun for a couple of nights. But DW and i were switching to SSR after 5 nights at BLT and we were so much happier to be Home. BLT was fine and will consider it again when the DGC get a little older.But there is no place like Home

Oh please, don't remind my DH. After reading DVC Mike's report, my DH had me fit in a trip during F&G as well as our yearly trip in Aug. I asked him if we could try OKW, he hesitated before he said yes...as long as the Aug trip was at SSR. But he's been thinking about those rockers. MS even noted that we had stayed at CP several times, asked me if we wanted to request that section. I said that my DH loved CP, the DTD view and the rockers. The CM laughed and said that she would note it on our Aug reservation. My DH even asked me tonight how close can we get to SSR at OKW. Wonder how long it will be until he says change back to SSR

 

[Dizny Dad]

Oh please, don't remind my DH. . . . . . he's been thinking about those rockers. . . . . . .

When I'm cruzin' in one and someone shows up with that "someone is in my rocker" look on his face, assure him we will move. It will probably be time to hit the CP Hot Tub anyway . . . .

Have a great time, enjoy life, and don't let the others hurry you up!

We fly in May 1, arriving on the red eye...6 am in the morning. Heck, I'm even having second thoughts about staying at OKW and changing back to SSR.
I have this picture in my screen rotation

and this one

gets me thinking about changing.

Rockers? I don't remember seeing any rockers in the Grandstand section! And we've stayed there 3 times.

They are along the lake in front of the CP quiet pool. There are 5 or 6 of them. Have sat there many mornings drinking coffee. After our trip to VB we will be at SSR on May 7th. on the 8th you will find me in one of those rockers having coffee in the morning can't wait.

Have a wonderful trip. I love the weather there in May. In fact, last year was the only year in about 6 where we had all that lousy weather because of the rain. We are usually there second week in May but this year we'll be there in November-possibly at BLT instead of SSR.

We are taking our first DVC trip in May. Since I am pretty late in the game I was not able to get in at AKV-our home resort. We will be at SS which I am excited about. Question about transportaion to early am ADR's. What is the best way to get to the parks for an early morning ADR? Think I read that the Grandstand bus stop does not open until 11a. Any help would be appreciated. We will be using Disney transport.

Hi Groupies fancy meeting you here

We're checking in on May 3rd ...BVW though 'flower show time. We have family staying at the BCV so we wanted to be close... I'm missing those tree houses. I could really do another family weekend there. We didn't even do the parks we just hung out on the deck and waived to the boats then met up with the kids at DTD for dinner. A real relaxing SSR stay

See ya around fellas

Congrats Mary on your first Disney trip.

I'm pretty sure that the buses begin picking up people at 7am.

Have a Magical Time

All the resort buses pick up one hour before the park opens. The first SSR makes the loop just like all other buses during the day. Have a great trip, we enjoy everything SSR has to offer and have never had trouble with buses.
