SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[kikiq]

Great pics. I took some this morning after trying to see the shuttle launch from the bridge. Your pics look great. Did you sneak inside?

We just came back. My DH was bike riding around SSR, stopped, talked to some construction folks about some lighting and ALMOST got to go inside to take a look. He says we might just have to be closer to this pool when we bring DGD to WDW.

. . . . . . . . And it looks like there is plenty of room for some new rocking chairs around the pool

WooHoo!!

Thanks for all the wonderful photos! Looking forward to seeing this pool (and swimming in it!) when it is done.

Have a great trip. If you're into making a request, ask to stay in the Grandstand area. It's first on/off for the buses and their quiet pool is large with water toys for the kids. Also it's a short walk over to the main pool area.

We are headed down to the world next week, and will be staying at SSR for the first 2 nights. It will be our first visit there. We have been on waitlist for BWV (where the remainder of our stay will be) but I do not think it is going to come through, so I am now getting excited for SSR! I called MS yesterday to request the Grandstand area, I didn't realize there was a quiet pool there. Can't wait!

I hope you love it as much as we do! The grandstand pool area is awesome!

We have always stayed at the Grandstand, but we may have to request the Paddock due to the pool. Great pictures!!!!

I wouldn't consider it a quiet pool. Congress Park and The Paddock definately had the quiet pools, with nothing but pool, hot tub. and laundry to offer, where the Grandstand offers pool, hot tub, laundry, kids water play area, full bar and snacks. The Grandstand gets as much attention as High Rock Springs. It may be that a quiet pool is desingated as one without lifeguards.

We have been owners at SSR for about 5 years now,have stayed at most on-site properties over the years, and absolutely adore our home. we have 2 boys in their teens and 1 twenty year old and they always choose to stay at SSR, all name it as their resort of choice. There are too many wonderful reasons to love it and can never understand the disdain that some feel for our home.

This summer we have our vacation planned at BW and while we are looking forward to it, we are all a little homesick for our usual resort. We are planning a mid stay day to just relax at our SSR pool and eat at Turf Club so our trip will feel complete.

I thought that would do it but instead I found that this past weekend our boys conspired together and voted to go to SSR over Christmas and borrow points from next year because they need to go home and stay there. It didn't take too much arm twisting to agree

It now just feels right and contentment has set in. I think we all need therapy . but it is great to know that we aren't the only people who are smitten with SSRitis.

It was great to find this thread. Thanks for the validation of our perfect taste.

DH and I just walked back from DTD . It is a perfect evening at SSR. The air smells beautiful, there is a warm breeze and just saw a few bunnies hopping around. We love the tranquility of this resort.

Great thread! Glad I found it but all the pix and posts are making me homesick!! We won't go home until New Year's eve and only for the one night as we are going on a cruise with the whole familiy (not Disney but not our choice - this cruise was a family gift to all of us). Just had to squeeze one night in to get our SSR fix!!

Thanks for the pool pix! Can't wait to see it in December!

Just have to say, tonight is my last night on a 5 day retreat to SSR, my home site. We only joined last year and chose SSR and boy am I glad we did. I really love it here. I also like a good Foot/Calf massage after 3 days walking for 12 to 14 hrs straight.

Just sayin Folks!

I get to check-in tomorrow evening. I'm so excited.

I requested Congress Park, but of course we'll see what I get. No matter, I'm looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the view in the rockers - and just being there once again.

Hi Stoph! Rock some for Us!

For those of us who are lucky enough to be at WDW next week (TWO MORE SLEEPS!)

The Shuttle is scheduled to land at 2:30 something Wednesday Morning.

I thing you won't see it go over (or nearby), but, you should be able to hear it go by.

Listen out!
