SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[Dizny Dad]

Havana - a big THANKS for the great pool pictures!

There are some DVC pools you can't hop to, but I don't remember SSR pools in that list. So, I guess easy answer is yes. I've read that resort IDs have been checked in some peak times (never happened to me), but if you were staying at SSR, regardless of DVC membership, you get to enjoy all the pools.

Yes we are stayin at SSR,I am even more excited seeing the new pictures !!!

If the poster about the building next to the pool. It is a theater. Mostly used for rehersal for visiting bands(as far as I can tell).

I seem to rememeber that when they first opened the resort, they showed films there, but, I could be wrong.

I just wanted to pop in and say Hello!

DH and I just purchased SSR as our Home Resort yesterday (kind of an Easter/early Anniversary gift for ourselves) I am beyond giddy and cannot wait to plan our first trip! Can't wait to read all the great information in this thread. Thank you for compiling it!

Congrat's and home to the SSR family, Cinderella! If you click on the link in my sig, you can read my TR from our stay there last November. After that trip, we bought into SSR, too (and later BWV)!

Many thanks for the new paddock pool pictures. What a great addition to SSR.

We used a Restaurant.com certificate at House of Blues in Myrtle Beach last week. We plan to do the same for our next Disney trip! It's a good deal.

As of May 2nd we are new SSR owners. I'm so excited We've been trying to do this since the first time we did a tour of SSR in 2007. Circumstances were just right this time, since they lowered the minimum buy in both in points and price.

Our July trip to BWV has been converted from the cash stay it was to our first points stay as of today I just got my confirmation email.

Next year will be SSR for sure. Am I going to love this or what??

Welcome Home and Congratulations!!

We purchased into SSR in October 2003, before the resort opened. We've had many wonderful stays. Our favorite sections to stay in are Congress Park and the Grandstand. Our next DVC trip is to the Animal Kingdom Lodge in July for a family trip and then in December our family is hosting my parents and grandparents at the Tree House Villas for a few nights -- something we never could have done without DVC! Enjoy your membership and the many options it offers!
