SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[KerTggr]

This is true.. you do get "complimentary" body wash and shapoo in your rooms.. we like 'em to!

Does anyone know if the products at SSR are H2O products? And if so, are they the same as the ones on the Cruise?

I'm sure the SSR products are H2O...just like all the DVC resorts.

I'm not sure about the Cruise (though I'd be surprised to learn they had something other than H2O).

The H2O products used on Disney Cruise Line are not the same H2O products that are used at the Walt Disney World Resort.

On the Disney Cruise Line they have the Sea Marine Revitalizing line - and at the Walt Disney World Resort - H2O's Bath Aquatics line is used.

All of the products are available directly from H2O - and often times they have great sales, free shipping, and other promotional offerings.

Their current sales can be found here:

Of note: We have only stayed at Walt Disney World Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts and the H2O Bath Aquatics line is used at all of these resorts. I think a different line of products are used at the Moderate and Value Resorts. I am not 100% certain about this - but I seem to remember there being a difference between them. I seem to think an H2O combined Shampoo and Conditioner product is used at the Moderate and Value Resorts.

I remember that on our honeymoon they were not using the H2O line anywhere on property - they had Mickey Mouse themed bath products in very small bottles.

We love the H2O products, we feel they are a very high quality and pH balanced well for use in Florida's really odd/horrible/smelly water. While it doesn't smell horrible all the time, it really has it's moments!

supersuperwendy - They sell shampoo and other toiletries that you might need. DW especially likes the body wash in the rooms and for sale at the resorts.

Remember, too, that their are small bottles of shower "stuff" in each room that would last a number of days.

Thanks! I'm going to just do carry on and buy whatever they sell. I have really long hair so the little bottles in the room just don't cut it!

I just don't want to pay airtran $20 just to bring shampoo along!

Last week DW says she wants to make a short trip to SSR before our May trip. And she knows ESPN the Weekend is in early March so she figures i will go for it. She was right we had SWA tickets to use and our AP will expire on March 11th. So begins going back to SSR 3 times a year

tjhsr - Shouldn't that be three (3) dancing bananas?

Have a great time!!!

Your right We stopped doing 3 trips 2 years ago when our 3 DGC were all due around the end of Feb. We had gone to a couple of the ESPN the weekends and ran into John Kruk of the basball tonight show at the AP getting snacks for his two kids he had in tow. If you like sports its a pretty good time.

Anybody have any pictures of the construction of the new Paddock pool?

We were there in December, but have no pictures and only saw fences and construction trailers.

Any updates?

I love SSR, but we were so disappointed during our most recent stay in November. We were originally assigned a HA room. I had no idea we could be assigned one without asking for it. Has anyone else been in this situation? We asked for another room and there wasn't another 2 bed lockoff to be had - except in Carousel. And without a car, we though the walk or resort bus would be too time-consuming. And the story goes on, but seeing this is not a TR thread, I'll end it here.

That happens at every resort on Disney Property. There are only so many rooms available and it doesn't aways work out that they have HA requests for all the rooms so other reservations will get them and sometimes it works out that all the HA villas are booked so those with needs may have to use a regular villa. We've been in that situation and make the best of it, it is WDW afterall.

The HA room wouldn't accomodate my extremely tall family so it was out of the question for us.

Ugh, yes. We got stuck with an HA room at AKV in the Club Level. I couldn't believe I was spending all those points for a unit without a jetted tub.

Thanks for the info! I really liked the H2O products on the cruise, so might need to order some for our upcoming trip to WDW.

Yeah. We got a HA room at WL for our wedding (non-DVC)! It was probably the worst part of the trip, particularly since we brought so much stuff on that trip and had little counter space or room in general. Oh - that and one of our guests getting a "Congratulations on your wedding" basket in their room.

We were in this room (if it was the 1BR)....we had asked for a SV villa and as it happens the HA villa has a SV. I didn't necessarily miss the tub but the HA shower didn't seem to drain correctly - it was a big pain (especially when you multiply it by 5 people!).

 

[Dizny Dad]

We need someone to post pictures of the construction of the new Paddock Pool area! We are dying to know; need our fix; nosey, you know!
