    SSR - Treehouses - what do I need to know?

    Hi Todd ~ Happy New Year! I wanted to follow up with how our vacation in the tree houses went...and there is not anything bad that I can say about it! We (9 of us) were there December 22 through the 27th. I called DVC member services and requested a few villas that were mentioned here - we...

    SSR - Treehouses - what do I need to know?

    Thank you for your reply...we know that we are going at a very busy time of the year - but the 9 of us are really looking forward to being together - and getting to the park and doing all the "must-do's" is not the top priority this trip. So I look forward to the quiet pool and relaxing on the...

    SSR - Treehouses - what do I need to know?

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. :) As for the boat horns and the water heater - I guess we will take our chances with that. And as for the buses - we will all go into it knowing it will be an "adventure" with the buses. Since the youngest in the group will be 15 - and no...

    What would be your dream job IN the park?

    I would love to work in one of the resorts at the check-in desk - it would be great welcoming all the guests as they start their vacation. Also on my list would be to work at ESPN/Wide World of Sports - being married to a coach for 26 years and a baseball mom to our 17 year old (who has played...

    Weeki Wachee Springs

    My sister and I used to spend summers with our grandparents who lived in Brooksville - only a few minutes drive from Weeki Wachee. I can't tell you how many times grandma took us to see the mermaids. We would try to memorize all the routines and then "perform" them for anyone who would watch...

    Hugging the Villains?

    I love the Evil Queen and last summer we saw her at DHS in the Animation Gallery after leaving the Animation Academy. No one else was in the gallery at the time. Our 6'2" 17 year old son walked up to her and asked her if he could give her a hug. She replied "Why on Earth for?" He...
