Tjhsr - 17 days! Wow! Have a great time and we're looking forward to the pool pics! :banana:
 
This is what we did for the first 5 yrs. DW and I would go March,May and Oct. and always at SSR. Then the 3 DGC were due all around the first of Feb. 2009 so we skipped the March trip the last 2 years. Now we are back to 3 trips a year but they are now a bit more crowded on 2 of the trips.:woohoo: The 3 of them are SSR veterans already:dance3: Got to love SSR and DVC:banana::banana::banana:
 
Now FF, you do know that there's no minimum group size for the THV, right? Our family of 4 is staying 5 nights in a studio, so we can stay the next 6 in a THV. Cheaper than doing all 11 in a 1BR!

A good idea. I did not like the split stays - too much packing/ unpacking.
 

Howdy y'all!!!:lovestruc Signing on......
We are recent DVC owners at AKL and SSR. In the last week we went from having a 1 B/BWView at BWV to AKL SView, to SSR studio (thanks to stupid blizzard). We had to downsize room (one DD cant go-nursing school) and then change dates AGAIN due to youngest DD school adding dates to school year to make up for yucky snow days. We loved SSR when we were here in 08. SSR actually was a motivator in buying DVC! Anyways, we will now be there from 6/23-6/30. Are we seriously going to miss the new pool? Any chance of early opening? Will High Rock pool be open? I read a few pages back that that pool is closing for rehab, really?? Why on earth at beginning of summer would they close a main pool without new pool open?? Grrrr- hope I read that wrong. I put in a request for Springs this time...Hows springs? Whats in that area?? Thanks:worship:

The Mousesavers newsletter of today just said they were going to not heat the High Rock Spring pool from 2/28/11-3/4/11.
 
Awesome pics FindingFigment! I can't wait until the new pool area is done! SSR always has something special in the works.:wizard:

I thought I read that the Paddock pool was closed to the middle of June. But, I may have misread it.

~ June 20 is the scheduled opening. Disney is famous for the "soft openings" of featured attractions, but without water, this one may be hard to dive into!

Anybody want to bet that the week before, a towel will appear on a lounge to save the seat? You can never be too early.

We will be there in may so I will leave a towel then. And I expect it to be there in oct. when we get back:banana::banana: Have we heard if there will be any new rockers at the pool over looking the lake? We can never have too many rockers:thumbsup2
 
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.

Where can I find out about closures or renovations throughout WDW?
 
Can you drag the rocking chairs to new Paddock pool and put a towel on it to save it for me?[/QUOTE]

Would be happy too but can you save a rocking chair with a pool towel ? I will drag one over and watch the pool construction and leave it for the next rocking chair fan :woohoo::woohoo:

I want to have a good seat saved.
 
Not an owner at SSR but a lover of it! Stayed there two years ago and really loved it. It is now our second choice resort (beyond BLT, the location there is so central)!
 
So this will be our first time to SSR and I am excited. :woohoo: We are newbie DVC owners for OKW and we looooved it there. :goodvibes

This trip home (proudly points to the ticker below) was just made at the last nimute on Friday and SSR was the only thing available. :yay: We wanted to tour the resort last November when we were there but just didnt make it so the first 2 nights are in a deluxe studio and the last 2 nights are in a one bedroom. Nice way to go out with the jacuzzi tub and laundry, eh?!:banana:

So what do we need to know? How are the busses? I heard the retaurants are great and the grounds beautiful!!
 
hey girlie! Its beena long time! I am going last minute - just booked it last friday and we leave in a week!!! :yay:

Have never been to SSR and I cant wait to experience it! Happy to know you all you loved it!




Hello SSR owners and lovers!

We just returned from 4 nights/ 5 days at SSR and it was FANTASTIC! This was our second visit to SSR. We requested a DTD view studio and got exactly what we asked for! We had a ground floor room in Congress Park..number 2147. Just outside our room was the playground, quiet pool and DTD! The bus service was perfect the entire trip. I don't know if we just got lucky or what..but we never had more than maybe a 2 min wait! On Tuesday night when it was stormy we hung out at the Turf Club Lounge. It was great! The entire staff at SSR was wonderful and we can't wait to stay there again!!!!:lovestruc
