SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

DW & I can't wait to see the completion of the new Paddock area, with new pool and snack bar. A drink station will add to the area also, since we love our mugs!

I can't wait either. It looks great in the artist rendering. SSR just keeps getting better!

Anybody think it will be the big demmand area when completed, and how long will it last? Grandstand is much easier to get into now, but certainly it was hard when first opened.

I'm sure demand will increase for the Paddock but I think folks have come to really like certain areas for specific reasons so demand will probably be split between the Springs, Congress Park and Paddock so hopefully getting our requests will be easier. It's great to have so many great areas so you're not devastated if you can't get a room at one of the only decent locations at the resort. SSR has many really great locations and tons of gorgeous views.

Hey - thanks AirGoofy - but what I was really after was an internal layout of the buildings themselves - eg a floor plan that shows where on each floor are the individual units.
I have seen this on the AKL lovers threrad and I am sure that I saw one for SSR somewhere.....it showed each floor with a plan of where the studios, 1 x beds, 2 x bedx and 3 x beds were situated and the room numbers for each floor/building.

Yeah, I think it's neat. We had a 1 bedroom stay at the Paddock and we had a great time with the pool as it was. This will only make it better.

if you buy the drinks mug, what drinks are you allowed with it, and the cost please

Firefox is saying something of the sort when I click on it.

Soda fountain drinks,coffee and tea at the resort. Want to say $12.99 each for length of stay.

I'm thinking with the bus stop being 3rd, food, and the zero entry pool it will be in higher demand a lot longer than the Grandstand section. We have always been able to get Congress Park but with the new DGC the Paddock will be first on our request list. Has construction started yet? We are really looking forward to having another great pool area at SSR

We just ended our week vacation at the Treehous Villas. We were in 7035. Loved being so close to the pool, bus stop and boat transportation. The villa was beautiful with all the essentials, but still secluded. It had a Fort Wilderness feel. Very relaxing vacation. There is no soda refill station in the Treehouse area, no bar or food either. I was also surprised by the separate auto entrance with only key card entry, no guard booth

We are looking at a 2011 THV stay with 4 adults & 5 children. There is a set of twins (age 12). Does anyone know if you can push the sleeper chair into the room with bunk beds? Is the doorway big enough? Is there enough room inside the room? I know it sounds odd, but we would like to put the younger children on the sleeper sofa in the living room, and older children on bunk beds. The remaining child would like to sleep with the twins than the younger children. TIA.

Even if the doorway were big enough to move the chair (which you wouldn't want to do anyway for the weight and how far away from the bunk bed room it is...), there simply is not enough floorspace to move anything into the bunk bed room. Though you could set up an air mattress - but it's tight.

We were in a THV this past January and had a wonderful time. My folks were in the 2nd bedroom, and our kids all decided to stay together in the bunkbed room - with my eldest, crazy guy, on the air mattress vs. taking the sleeper couch in the living room. BUT - it made it nice for the adults to have the living room in peace and quiet after the kids all went to bed.

You can easily use the couch cushions on the floor for a 12 year old. Our 7 yr old had nightmares one night so we did that for him and it worked out well

OK - I apologise in advance if there is a post somewhere in the SSR Owners and lovers thread (part 1 & 2) that I have missed.

I am trying to find out about the boat service that runs from SSR.

Is there somewhere I can go to see the timetable etc?

What I am wondering is - can you get anywhere else on the SSR boat other than DTD?
I mean - does the boat to OKW or POR stop off at SSR and then go on to the other resorts or will we have to go to DTD and then get on another boat to the other resorts?
I was thinking about eating at POR (Sassagoula Floatworks) and OKW (Olivia's) but would love to have a glass of wine or two and dont really want to drive.

No the SSR boats go to DTD and back again. You will have to change boats if you want to go to another resort. They generally start running at 10 in the morning and then every 20 or 30 minutes throughout the day.

Thanks for the info. I am hopeful the THV will help make all that family together-time a good vacation.

We have a set of twins age 12. We'll be staying at the THV's this year.
I'm thinking of bringing something like this for the youngest so she can sleeo in the bunk room with the twins. It's cute if you have girls. I thinks their is a cars one for boys.

That is really cute. Thank you for the suggestion. Oldest dd has a Hannah Montana sleeping bag and wants to use that. I think we can do the cushions with the sleeping bag on top. She keeps asking us to go camping. It was 15 years and 50 pounds ago that I went camping and did it out of necessity, not enjoyment. So, she at least gets to use her sleeping bag, and I'll tell her it's camping since we're staying in the trees.

I think the cushions with the sleeping bag will work out fine, especially since it's "camping". Treehouses is as close as I want to be to a camping trip.
