SSR Lovers and/or Owners Thread!

[franandaj]

We just found out yesterday that we closed on our SSR resale. We are now proud of owners to SSR, we are so excited! We have never been and cant wait to check it out! Love this thread already!Any of you buy into SSR and not see the resort first?

Worse yet, I didn't even know or understand what DVC was, but my DP was thinking! We had just spent probably $5,000 on lodging at AKL and GFL earlier that year and I think she didn't want to ever do THAT again!

We bought because of the onsite spa and the price was right. I'm looking forward to going back again next year during F&W. Wish I didn't have to wait that long, but we need to go on some non-Disney trips before we go back!

Welcome Home!

The laid back atmosphere is just great. It really is a wonderful summer atmosphere year 'round.

I remember going to WDW in 2004 and we would pass by SSR as they were building it. We could see it from DTD also. I never thought that we would ever stay at a place so nice but here we are 6 years later and now i am a proud DVC member and SSR is my home. Just sent my contract in to Disney for ROFR and in a few weeks we will be booking our first vacation as a DVC member. We are so excited...

I don't think you'll be sorry you purchased there. We absolutely love it! DH loves the fact that he can walk over to DTD while I hang out at the pool. And the Spa......well I could go on forever about that!!

While we didn't purchase SSR sight unseen we did purchase at the BWV years ago without even seeing the resort. We definately weren't disappointed and I don't think you'll be either.

The resort was still under construction when we bought. We had already gotten hooked by the DTD area and being that close to it made it even better.

We bought the first week of sales at SSR. I went down thinking I was going to buy BCV but it was sold out. I hadn't even heard of it. I only saw an artist rendering of SSR when we bought. I was a little unsure but I had faith in Disney. I was right. I love it. Welcome Home. You will love it.

We bought SSR sight unseen. We finally toured it 1 1/2 years later. We do love the resort, but honestly I'm pretty happy anywhere that is Disney

Us to. We bought resale and have stayed there once. We are still very new members, but our goal is to visit all the DVC resorts. We are planning two different trips of AKL and WL.

That is how we feel too. As long as we are staying in a DVC resort and at Disney......we are good. We bought SSR in Jan. 07 and our first trip home was a split at SSR and BWV in Aug. that same year. Then we headed back to SSR in Nov. of 07. Then we stayed at OKW and BCV in July of 08, back to SSR in Nov. 08 and then OKW in Jan. 09. Last summer we split between BCV and our newest home AKV. Which we did buy site unseen. This July we are headed to SSR and Vero. So we too LOVE TO TRY ALL THE DVC RESORTS. I guess all that will be left will be VWL, HHI and BLT. We were going to HHI this summer but decided just last week to go to Disney instead. So we cancelled that and was able to book Vero too. WE LOVE DVC.

We love SSR too. Don't get me wrong. We love the closeness to DTD and we love the resort itself. It is just so nice that we can stay at other DVC resorts too. So far....we have had no problems getting in different places.

Welcome home! We bought sight unseen, too. We bought our resale in Sept '09, and went for the first time Feb '10. We loved it!! We couldn't be more delighted with SSR.

I have never been to SSR, but I can't wait to try it after looking at the pics and reading this thread! Thanks!

Leaving Tomorrow to go home to SSR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hardhead]

Just booked a last minute trip to SSR May 7 to 12th. I CANNOT WAIT

 

[Sonnyeclipse]

We just booked a last minute trip too for May 13 - 17. It will be our second time there and our first trip was during the freezing cold of Marathon weekend.

I really look forward to actually enjoying the resort instead of running from the bus to the room to get out of the cold!!

We are leaving tomorrow too! Yippee! We start our trip at AKV and check into SSR next Friday!!!

Earlier today, we added another 25 point SSR contract. Now, we have enough points where we can do a 1 bedroom once a year or studio 2 times a year. What a dilemma. I think we are going to stay with 2 trips a year for awhile longer.
