SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[Ronald Duck]

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!

We'll be staying there Monday to Friday, and I plan to spend a lot of time getting to know my new digital SLR camera, so chances are I'll be able to give you a photo update!

We'll take anything we can get! Be sure to ask a couple of the different the bus drivers about how construction is going; it is always a hoot to hear all of the different tales.

Ahh yes, the bus driver rumors.

Wow! That's just what I came to check out. Thanks.

Looks like we should have a steady flow of pictures for the next couple of months.

We'll be there the end of March. Can't wait to see what progress has been made. It is our first trip home since buying in last spring. So excited to try THV.

We are going to be at SSR March 2-5 for ESPN the Weekend. Well that is my excuse for a short notice trip anyone else going?

We were not scheduled at SSR until our May trip, but changed resorts due to the notice we recieved on the bottom of our reservations - High Rock Springs pool would be closed during our visit! With the Paddock pool now gone, and High Rock Springs closed, that puts a lot of bodies into the Grandstannd and Conrgess Park pools.

When mentionwed earlier in this thread (I think this thread?), a few called MS and inquired about the closing and were told they had no information. WE changed our Reservation strickly due to the notice sent to us.

I just looked at my email confirmation and I don't see anything? We are at SSR from 5/15 -5/23. what were your dates?

 

[DiznyDi]

Dizny Da's at work, so I'll respond. Our dates are May 5-14. I just looked again at our original confirmation. Under the bold Resort Information it states 'Main pool will be closed for refurbishment during your stay'.

 

[magicmommy]

Thanks! Mine has nothing there, at least not in the online version.

Hello All,
I bought a DVC membership last spring and SSR is my home resort, I haven't made my first trip to SSR yet but I have a reservation for September. On my last few trips to WDW I spent most of my time at the parks or sitting around the pool at the resort. I've read that Downtown Disney is close to the resort so I thought I'd check that out while I'm staying at SSR, anyone have any Downtown Disney or SSR recommendations/likes/dislikes they can share? Thanks in advance

We are booked for May 4-13th. I also checked on the pool closings and was told they don't show anything about the main pool being closed. I have check every place i can think of and can't find anything about the pool. And there's nothing on our reservation about it. Now i was told about the Paddock pool being closed. I would hope that they have enough sense not to close both pools at the same time . The pool was redone just a few years ago.

Geeze Louise, you would hope so!

But with the notice on the bottom of our reservation, (and thoughts of the remaining pools packed to the gills everyday) we switched our stay to VWL. Anytime we stay at VWL, we always take an afternoon rest at SSR to get that SSR fix; same goes when we stay at SSR, got to get that VWL fix.

When we were at WDW the week following Thanksgiving, we stayed at BWV - but we went to Wilderness Lodge two different times. On one afternoon we had lunch at Whispering Canyon and then made our way over to VWL.

Since it was a little chilly during our trip we took up residence in front of the fireplace in the Carolwood Pacific Room in the big comfy leather chairs for the few hours for an afternoon nap in front of the fireplace - THAT'S what vacationing is all about!

We had such a relaxing time - especially on such a chilly day.
To make it even better, we had taken the Steamtrain tour early that morning - so napping by the fire in a railroad themed room was quite the fitting way to while away the hours! Sighhhh -
I wish I were there now!

That's the thing about Saratoga Springs - there really isn't an 'indoor' place to spend a few hours that would be as nice as VWL - however- SSR is NOT short on outdoor spaces to relax! All of the fountains - gardens and water views! Just beautiful! (But not in the heat and humidity of summer! HAHA)
