SSR Owners Only!

We bought for the extra life of the "lease." We felt we were getting something tangible for the extra money (prices having risen in the few years we considered DVC).

We bought in to SSR because it was as close as we could hope to get to the old Disney Institute. We had some really magical times in the old bungalows. We would have bought in to DVC a long time ago if DI had been part of it. We miss them. But we like SSR too.

Interesting poll, greenban, no apologies necessary.

I do, though, strongly disagree with anyone trying to infer anything from this poll. I voted for "Easiest" because we did it all over the phone, got Disney financing then paid it off with a home equity loan before SSR even opened. However, I also could have honestly selected "I love the SSR", "Incentives" (and "Six in a studio with pets" ). I could also say that we bought in because it was the only DVC resort that Disney was selling at the time - had it been at a different point in time, we could have easily ended up with - and been happy with - any of the other on-site resorts.

You see, we just decided that, given our love of Disney, vacation preferences, empty-nest life situation and financial position, that DVC was the right choice for us. No Machiavellian schemes to minimize our dues, or point costs, or to buy at one DVC resort but primarily utilize others. SSR was what DVC was selling at the time we wanted to buy. I'd been DISing for long enough to know our options, so we went into this with our eyes wide open.

IMHO - YMMV

I picked incentives - they were excellent but also because SSR was not part of an existing hotel - like OKW.

I'm still very new, have yet to make our first trip home. so please forgive this question...

What existing hotel is OKW part of.

Can someone also enlighten me about the bungalows of DI?

(Are they the cute 'condos' in the woods you see when traveling by boat from POR to DTD?)

Read it differently. Just like OKW, SSR is not part of a hotel.

 

[disney queen]

it was an add-on.

Thanks, this bleary-eyed morning after Christmas, I finally get it. Thanks yet again Dr. T.

And a Merry Christmans and Happy New Year to all!
