Do the one bedrooms at SSR have the sofa sleeper in the living room as well as the hida-bed?

Thanks

SSR one bedroom's have the sofa sleeper in living room area...the hide a bed, or aka sleeper chair...those are in the Kidani, BLT and OKW one bedrooms.
Not quite sure if ALL OKW 1 bdr's have them since the refurb, someone else here would know for sure!
HTH!

Anyone know what type of tree is in the right side of this photo? The blue-ish conifer? I've taken notice of these each time I've stayed at SSR, and would love to have one for home.

Possibly a Chinese Juniper or something in the blue spruce family (althought many spruce prefer a cooler climate). There are also some firs that have a blue cast. Have you ever asked when your at the resort?

So has anyone been to the Paddock pool recently and have they put umbrella's at the tables yet?

Are there any known refurbishments set for October? Anything I should worry about being closed?

It's very likely some type of juniper (possibly "blue Pfitzer") (did you smell it? some junipers have an unpleasant odor). There are lots of different junipers, from ground-cover to shrubs to trees. A close-up photo of the needles and berries would help ID.

(Pretty sure it's not a blue spruce (I was surprised when I moved to western North Carolina from Fort Collins, to find a large blue spruce tree in my front yard -- but we do have cold winters here)). Spruce trees have a pretty regular form, with spiky needles and cones.

I don't think so. The CP pool was closed but should be open now. We will be there on the Oct.2nd if there is I will post it here.

Geeze Louise!

I just found us at the bottom of page 3! Are we all asleep in the rockers?

OK, so tell me pin lovers, how many pin boards can be found at SSR? And what are the SSR pins that have been produced so far?

Truthfully, I have a friend that is staying in the Aulani this week on the hotel side. She's been sending me pictures and reports. I have her on a hunt for Aulani rockers. I've not been reading the DiS much this last week.

OK back to the questions. I've traded at the main desk big board and a smaller board in AP. I think 3 kinds of SSR pins have been produced so far in my short SSR history...Cast member resort pins, a hidden Mickey SSR pin and SSR report pins. Is that what you mean? I have only 3 SSR pins, the Mickey Jockey, the Treehouse with Tink and the hidden Mickey jockey shirt. We've cut back our pin buying to pin trading using our old pins that our DDs don't want to keep.

I have only seen a huge pin board at the front desk and then 2 smaller ones at AP. Don't know how many SSR pins there have been. That's a hard one!

27 Days and counting!

More questions for the SSR vets!

I'm getting ready for my trip in 18 days! WOOHOO. I've been seeing some people talk about decorating their rooms including doors, windows, etc. I'm not sure these are DVC people that do this. Can anyone give me more information about what you do during Halloween at SSR??

 

[Dizny Dad]

tjhsr - WOW GREAT PICTURES! Showing her the ropes early, so to speak! Thanks for sharing with us your special time with her.

Kathymford - We keep a door hanger thingy in our OL (hooks over the top of the door) to use to hang the seasonal door stuff that DW brings for each visit. You need one that is made of thin metal, not the thicker plastic kind (that wont let the door close!). We like to decorate our doors because, after all, it is our Home away from Home!

awwwww, how cute!!! I'm so ready to take my DGD to SSR and play on the playhouse at CP. Wish it wasn't a 5 hour airplane ride.

We'll be expecting a new picture.

We've decorated at PoP Century in the past (before DVC). I bought the magnetic printer sheets, think magnetic paper, and printed whatever we wanted on them then stuck them on the door. I've also seen halloween lights in the windows.
