I hope this posts. I tried posting on this thread yesterday and it kept telling me that I couldn't because I wasn't logged in but I was.
My friend was back at work Monday and still bubbling over about her trip to WDW. She said they had a ball! I don't think they hit the parks real hard but did visit each one and did MK a couple times. Surprisingly, her DD4 really liked Epcot because of Soarin', Test Track and she got to see so many characters there.
They really loved SSR. Loved it so much they hated to leave and go to the parks. Said they enjoyed the resort/pool as much as the parks. They were in Grandstand pool view just like I'd requested for them, bottom floor. They saw one movie at the GS pool but mostly swam in the "big pool" because DD4 liked the slide. They actually spent 1 3/4 days just hanging out at the resort/pool.
She said the bus service was great and they never waited long. She said most of the time they'd walk out and their bus would be there.
They ate at Turf Club several times, enough that they were calling them by name, and she kept going on and on about how good the food was. Especially the prime rib and mudslides!
She said the SSR staff just bent over backwards to help them and answer questions.
Her DH played golf a couple days and they were blown away because the resort payed for his taxie to/from the coarse. He was also surprised that it only cost him $35. I don't know if they gave him a DVC rate or what because I don't golf.
Oh, she loved the SSR spa too! When I called and booked the treatment they wouldn't let me book her a massage because it hadn't been 6 months since her last chemo. But they said she could have a facial and even suggested it. When she got there however, they told her that she couldn't get the facial either. She ended up getting a pedicure and parafin hand & feet treatment which she said she liked better anyway.
Anyway, they had a great trip. She said they didn't win any Dreams but it was a dream that they were even there. She said it was nice just to get away and be alone as a family without well meaning family & friends always around.
Sounds like SSR treated them great!
