Peppermint Pedicure at SSR

[MrGrumpy222]

just a bump

My wife says she enjoys pedicures but they tickle, why go through that ladies? Does anyone else endure such torment?

Okay...once in a while I get the ticklish feeling, but it's over in a heartbeat. Honestly, those few tickles on the tootsies are worth putting up for the massaging of the legs and the sloughing on my feet! Besides, if the pedicurist tickles too much, I know my reaction...my reflex literally kicks in and my tootsie might make contact with a nose...

See, at least Laura is telling the truth! So come clean, how many of you gals nearly kicked your pedicurist due to a ticklish reflex? Come clean! Better yet how many ladies kicked the pedicurist? That would make the Funniest Home Videos show. By the way, how much is the 50 minute massage Laura, I get one once a month here in Jersey, maybe I'll go with the wife when she goes for her pedicure. It would be a welcomed treat after being at a park all day.
Cheers

MrGrumpy,

I try very hard not to kick the poor pedicurist...I've already given her a hard time just by putting my calloused feet in front of her...

As for the cost for a 50 min. massage, that depends on which type you have. Here is what I have in my file for the SSR spa. (I think I downloaded it from either the WDW Resort website or the DVC members page...can't remember and can't seen to just cut and paste from an Adobe acrobat file either.)

All of the following are the price for 50 mins. massages and DVC members receive a 20% discount.

Swedish massage $110

Aromatherapy $125

Adriondak Stone Therapy $125

Motherhood Massage $125 (but guess MrGrumpy wouldn't want this one...)

Mystic Forest Therapy $125

Shiatsu $120

Healing Hands $125

Reflexology $120

In Room $150 (after hour prices change)


Honestly, for the Swedish massage, it's about double what we'd pay around here...one of the benefits of living in the stix...but it's not often DH gets time to go at home so I'm treating him while we're at SSR.

Hope this helps!

Hi there
Those prices are for the fitness centers at the other deluxe resorts, not SSR. ie, AKL, WL, CSR, Y&B, BW, CR.

Also, the discount of 20% for DVC members is for certain services. I know the 50 minute Swedish is discounted to $88, and the Mystical Forest Massage is discounted as well.

Any thing in particular? Our goal is to get you relaxed and pampered, and feeling great! Arrive early, enjoy the locker facilities with the steam room, sauna, and whirlpool before your treatment. Have a cup of tea. Enjoy just being.

Thanks! That was tip enough...just any suggestions you might have had was what I was looking for.

Thanks again!

WOOHOO! I got our Spa ressies made YESTERDAY!
After battling a major cold early this week, I finally got my voice back to call and book them. We have 2 Peppermint pedicures at 9am and then 2 more at 10am. My DM, MIL and her friend are coming to relax with me. DH has a Swedish massage at 10am. The CM told me that we would have full use of the facilities the full week we stay at SSR. YEAH!
I got up at 7am this morning to book CRT. But I got it! And then I went back to bed, YAWN!

Congrats Cinderminnie! I had to get up this morning and make my very last ressie...a sleigh ride at WL...it's the last thing we're doing on our relaxation day, which, if I do say so myself, has shaped up quite nicely. We'll sleep in, grab a late breakfast or an early lunch at Artist Palette, DH and I will head over to the spa for our treatments while DS chills out in the room, then later off to WL for a 5:30 dinner at Artist Point, mosey around the resort, grab a hot chocolate, and a sleigh ride at 8pm...then not sure what is on the agenda, but probably we'll head back to SSR because we'll have an 8am ADR at Breakfastasaurus.

I'm getting more excited each day...can't wait!

I got the peppermint pedicure last Friday. I asked if it was only during the holiday season, and the pedicurist said yes. Then she asked me if I wanted a peppermint pedicure.

It may not have been the full treatment, but she did put peppermint oil in the footbath and on my neck pillow.

Hold on - fill me in on the details of a sleigh ride, what is that all about!!! that sounds neat!! where do I find out about that?



Okay, did some research, booked 12/29 7:00pm, yeah, and then was able to get a ADR or what I like to still call Priority Seating at Whispering Canyon for 7:50, I can't beleive how awsome things are working out!!! YEAH!! Glad I found this thread, I am hoping the trails are all lit up with twinkly lights!! that would be pretty, I have walked them several times, during the day, but never at night.

The sleigh ride is the holiday version of the carriage ride. They put an overlay on the carriage to make it look like a sleigh. You can call the WDW-PLAY number to make your reservation. The rides are about 45-50 minutes long, but if no one has booked the hour after you, you may get a longer ride.
