SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[Coach81]

Hey SSR Fans
I just returned from the world and we drove around and couldn't see any construction of the new pool. My friend is a runner and she did run around the whole property and didn't see anything either. Was it here that I read that they were leaving the existing Paddock pool intact? So is it planned for the same area or more toward Congress Park??

Guess they haven't started on it yet....

Disney just announced a two year renovation of SSR, which primarily will be painting of the exterior of each building. Planned completion is 2012.

Maybe the new pool hub-bub will start in sync with this effort.

Woo hoo.. gonna get a face lift... !!!

Gosh, just found us at the very bottom of the page - I had to do something!

I think it may be time to go sit in the Rockers . . .

Hmmmm...perhaps. I wonder what all it's going to include. That's exciting news.

I have some miserable news. It's a long story but we had to cancel the first half of our December trip (the THV half). I'm trying not to think about it and didn't even want to type the words. Hopefully someone got a mountain of pixie dust for their WL. I can't tell you guys how much I was looking forward to being back home and especially trying out the THV's. I had to sell the points because they were banked and borrowed.

I will miss the DTD area and boats especially. I will miss arriving home. I will miss the pretty colors and walking paths...

We still have the AKV part booked which is wayyyy on the other side. It's going to feel odd going to DTD without staying at SSR. I'm going to try to book a short trip for DH and I for an SSR studio in June. We have some Southwest credits left over and I would love for us to use them on a secret adults only trip. Of course I've been trying to pull that off for years now.

mamaprincess - The cool part about DVC is that it keeps coming at you! You'll get back to SSR, and the THV's will be there a long time yet.

You're right, it will be there when we can get there. I am trying to recalibrate my mind for a different experience this trip. It will be shorter and in a completely different location. I love AKV though so I hope I will love staying there.

I was just thinking today that SSR is going to be a great place if you love swimming when they get the new pool done. There will be 3 feature pools all on one resort, plus the quiet pools. My dds will love being able to "hop" to all three without ever leaving the resort.
Can't wait for the new Paddocks pool. It should be a great addition to the resort.

You'll just have to settle on planning vacations for another 46 years. Seriously, sorry to hear it. Planning the vacations are really fun, but being there makes it worth it.

Oh don't worry i will hit the rockers in 10 days and make sure they are well used for another 10 days. I will show DGD the joy of sitting in the rockers in the morning drinking coffee or in her case milk!!

I was a disboard whiner. We are so spoiled, sometimes I'll read a post and I will think wow how horrible (sarc). When we get to go every year what is there really to whine about, but you know us disers can whine about the smallest thing that affects our pixie dust supply.

I've done that as well. Just have extra fun to make up for it. Here's some extra to get you started.

9 days and counting! I feel like should have so many questions, but I really don't. The only thing that my kids really want to know about is the kids club. Where is it? Does anyone have a picture of the kids club?

Looks like my dreams for THV next year has fallen through. The a^^&0!e mooching brother in law stopped the whole thing. We have the points, and MIL, DW, and I agreed to pay for his children's tickets and food. Then, he wanted us to pay for him and his wife's tickets and food. I said no, but his mother said that she would. Then, he said that he prefers a summer vacation and demanded that we move it to July, and still pay for him. Now, he's telling his children that we won't let them go to Disney, which is of course guilting my MIL and DW into trying to accomodate the a^^&0!e. How can a free Disney vacation cause so much drama?

I am a lady - really I swear I am, but I have to confess my first thought when I read your post was "screw him!!" I know it's not that easy - but I confess I felt better after having the thought.... You have every right to vent ~ hope it all works out
