KT27 - Thank you

Just found this thread.

We're going in December and have requested Grandstand, near the pool. We are also going next May and I'll be calling next week for a THV.

Is there a separate thread on THV or do we use this thread for info.

Thansk

 

[MAGICFOR2]

We all gather around you both with THANKS for the service your husband is providing for our freedom and for the emptiness you have accepted in his absence.

May God bless you both and keep you both safe.

Hey, gang, let's all sprinkle some Pixie Dust on them for love, luck, and a World of Blessings!

Yes Thank you And many blessings to your family Glad youhad such a great trip

I'm so excited to stay at ssr for the first time this July! I subscribed to this thread a while ago because I love looking at the pictures. Now I get will get to experience the beauty myself. My home resort is vwl and I love that i can get away from the craziness of the parks there. I'm looking forward to doing the same at ssr.

After your early morning visit to the Hot Tub, take coffee in hand and find a rocker on the lake looking over at DTD; sit a spell, enjoy the early birds, plan the day, and launch yourself from there . . .

Dizny Dad:
I second that! Those rockers are the best. DH/I spent time there during the morning and at night watching the Characters In Flight go up/down. Loved that view!

Where is this pix shot from? How did we miss that? We were in the Springs and took the boat to DTD numerous times but I don't remember this scene anywhere and I thought the only rockers were out front of the Artist's Palette.

notaclue:
There are more rockers on the walking path by Congress Pool. This photo was taken inside the pool area by the tables/umbrellas looking toward DTD. When I was there last month there was a total of six rockers. Since that area is a smoking section the chairs were moved quite a bit to be close to the ash trays. Hope this helps.

 

[nukker7]

Man do I miss it......It's been a whole month since we have been there. Gotta find a way to get back soon.

nukker7:
I agree with you 100 percent! I loved SSR, the surroundings, close to DTD, the openness, walking paths, water fountains, pools (CP was my favorite), villa layout, the CM's, etc. It was awesome and I did not want to leave after two weeks. Hope you get back there soon!

 

[notaclue]

After only 2 weeks home we are SO ready to go back. We have 200 pts and will have another 200 in August and they are just 'burning a hole in my pocket'. Totally fell in love with SSR.

OK, I know this is a "feel the love" thread, but is complaining forbidden?
Don't you all agree AP really needs a new way of ordering, paying, getting food? It is a terrible system.
I haven't stayed there since the last two trips, but from what I read, it is still the same, true?
I tried to just get a cup of tomato mozzarella salad, which are premade and in the case. A CM stands behind the case. NO, can't ask her for it. Go over there, stand in line, while others debate for 20 minutes what they will order, etc. Of course, that happens everywhere, fine. Order. Go stand in line to pay over there. The CM at the register is also ringing gift shop merchandise, etc, answering questions, etc. Another 20 minutes. Pay, get a buzzer. Wait45 minutes while they cook the flatbreads and other orders put in ahead of mine. (I am really mad at this point.) Finally, my ticket comes up, and the CM reaches her hand in the case and gets my tomato mozzarella salad that has been there all this 85 minutes!!!!! How much more rediculous can you get than that. It could have just been handed to me 85 minutes earlier, but for that stupid system.
Doesn't it infuriate you all too?!!!

 

[notaclue]

Yeah it can be kind of a hassle and I keep bumping into people. The gal at the cash register on our last visit said she usually works at OKW and she likes it better because they don't have to ring up food, but then OKW doesn't have a counter service either. At least the food is pretty good at SSR; we loved their flatbreads (which I can't find at home). Waiting 85 minutes for a premade salad is rediculous. Was it even chilled?

I agree, AP needs some major design changes. It's been bad since day 1.

 

[AirGoofy]

We just eat at Turf Club and avoid AP. It is not a good system. If we want QS, we walk/ boat to DTD for Earl of Sandwich. It is the best QS. That is one of the perks of SSR - easy access to DTD.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Plusses and minuses everywhere!

I also think a better way could be found for AP, when it comes to the paying (but the food is great!). The getting is about the same everywhere. Roaring Fork at VWL is 1/3 the size, has only two registers, and is just as chaotic as AP in the mornings.

And try getting thru the queues at the Poly at breakfast; who does that kid belong to . . . .

 

[Ms. WDW]

Can't wait; 8 more days and I'll be at SSR!!

One question for you all. I have a studio for the first time over near the Carriage House (I hope ) and will more than likely need the laundry facilities. Where in that area can I find the laundry room? And...for those who have used the facilities what's the best time to go?

Don't have a 1 Bedroom for this trip; it was a spur of the moment trip to meet up with my brother and his family!

If you're staying in the Springs area, the laundry room is in the building by the High Rock Springs pool. I believe it is the next door down from the Community Hall.

We usually throw things in the wash while we're at the pool.

If you get assigned a different section, the laundry rooms will be adjacent to the quiet pools. It hadn't occurred to me, but I guess people in Paddock and Carrousel have had to take their laundry to the main pool during the Paddock pool construction. I don't think I would have been a happy camper lugging my suitcase quite that far to do laundry. It probably means the laundry room there has been more crowded than typical, as well.

Thanks for the information!!
