SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[mamaprincess]

Everytime I see picture of the tree houses, I want to be in them; not in the summer though...insects have to be a real factor.

I was thinking about booking a spa package for myself and my 11 year old niece for when we are at SSR in November. Can anyone share their experience at the SSR spa?

I'm not sure that I would go for one of their packages. I think they try to group together some of the easiest treatments into the packages and not the best ones. I would order a la carte. My favorite treatment is one that you can not get many place else. They have a tub with a reverse vacuum that they run across all you muscles under water. It is an exquisite treatment. I like to get a full body massage and then do the hydrotherapy treatment. You need a bathing suit and I keep the skimpiest suit (that I would never be caught dead in public wearing) in our OL just for this treatment.

I've also done the Mystic Forest Therapy, or something like that, but thought that the massage part was not fulfilling enough. I highly recommend the Hydrotherapy tub!

Thanks.

nothing that you don't already know. Just go and relax and if you have reservations about the resort go with an open mind. I never wanted to stay there even though we owned there and now it's one of my favorites. We love the boat rides to DTD.

You will love SSR. DH/I spent two weeks there in May and loved it.

Our favorites...
- Sitting in a rocking chair with a view of DTD.
- Pool hopping during our non-park days.
- Able to walk to DTD or take a boat.
- Walking around the resort and enjoying the scenery.

We also ate at the Turf Club (prime rib.. yum!) and had plenty of counter service meals from Artist's Palette. Food was good and no complaints.

Just go with the flow and enjoy your vacation. I hope you'll enjoy SSR as much as DH/I did. Wish I was there now.

We just adopted a dog from a shelter this weekend and gave her the formal name of Saratoga Springs. We will call her Sara for short.

We knew we wanted to use a disney name somehow with our next dog's name and this fit her perfectly!

Too bad our last name doesn't start with an R or we could call her SSR

This is for all the SSR experts, we are going in Feb. for 10 nights at THV and my parents want to meet up with us, they are trying to get an exchange in through RCI for SSR studio or 1 bedroom, is there any requests area wise that we/they should make so that we are as close as possible to them walking distance? If they cannot trade in I have offered to get them a studio just not sure of the layouts or what to ask for. We plan to have most meals together in the THV's. Any feed back is appreciated.

Wish I could give you the building number. But the Grandstand section and its the first building thats not next to the pool. The path from the THV goes right next to this building. But it would depend on where your THV is as to how long of a walk it would be. If near the entrance a bit of a walk. Near the pool not to bad. Hope this helps. You really need a map is see.

 

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

Wish I could give you the building number...

The building closest to the THV path is in the Grandstand section and has room numbers 9101-9436.

You can see the layout on these two maps:

 

[tjhsr]

Thats it. We were there in May and i don't pay much attention to building numbers after check-in. I did walk over to THV's short walk across the golf course and walked the loop not a real long walk.

 

[dbs1228]

Thank you all, the maps really help!

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for posting this

Thanks for all the hints for enjoying SSR. We actually are not heading to the parks at all. == blacked out days for us. So we are planning on relaxing. Perhaps we will try the SPA for a special treat. And we have never eaten in the Turf Club -- so that will be on the list.

Pool Hopping - something also to think about seriously as I love CSR.

Weeeee....can I leave now?

You have my permission. Those tickers are just so cruel. 100 days to go. When will it end. Aaaaaaaagh
