    New ADR Cancelation Policy

    The Law of Unintended Consequences is a real bear isn't it? This will be a real problem for Disney. Think of the non uber planner. Especially someone with out a park hopper. How many of them will take a chance on making an ADR when they might end up getting stuck for some $$$. IMO a...

    The New and Updated Port Orleans Riverside FAQ Thread for 2008 --- NOW CLOSED

    The superior quiet pools in Alligator Bayou vs Magnolia bend is probably the main reason we will stay in AB in August

    The New and Updated Port Orleans Riverside FAQ Thread for 2008 --- NOW CLOSED

    Hi, We're coming Back!! DW, my twin 10 year old boys and I will be staying at POR for the period of Aug 28th- Sep 4th for free dining. (We also will stay at POP from the 25-27th) This is our Sixth trip since Easter of 2007, and it is the first time we will return to a previous resort...

    Trying to get the Snow Logic

    Three things. As you say, bad winters make one want to go south. But, missing days due to snow might make some parents reconsider taking kids out for more days. A third perhaps more important factor is that snow can close airports/roads really messing up crowd predictions on a short...

    Flying Fish

    We ate there last April when we were on the DXDP. I loved it the food and service was superior. Some might not like the noise level, but I didn't mind. It's right up there with the Yachtsman for me. HB

    What's with the hate towards POR?

    DW loves this resort, so do I, although I prefer POFQ by the slimmest of margins. We stayed in Magnolia terrace in 2009, my next stay whenever it is will probably be at the AB section due to the proximity to the main bus stop and the food court, and the superior quiet pools

    WL Bunk Beds

    My SIL had a bunk room on our April trip last year. I would caution you that the beds weren't the sturdiest, or that long. If your kids are much older than 12-13, you might want to rethink the choice, but other than that My2CrazyGirls is right, the room is roomy. We had a party of 11 in three...

    Refillable mug question

    I understand about economies of scale but I wish Disney would bring back resort specific mugs. I had a Port Orleans mug from my 2007 visit, which is a lot nicer than the new ones.

    First Visit - SSR or POFQ

    POFQ for me. I just love the place, the transportation is superior, I love the theming, and everything is close to everything else. HB

    Is anyone else underwhelmed with the Deluxes?

    Hi, We now have stayed at four different Disney Resorts. POFQ in 07, POR in 09, WL last April and BC last December. My wonderful wife and I have talked about this on and off since we came back from the BC. We have come up with the following observations on the deluxes...

    LeafsFanNL "Will We get to Swim in Stormalong Bay" TR

    Its kind of crazy, the temp got up to 16-19 every afternoon, but it was 2-6 at night. You need to pack a fleece, and as much as I was gung ho about wearing shorts they are only practical from say 10 am to dusk.

    NOT the best trip:( And I HATE the busses. Never again.

    I had a stomach bug run through the house. If one of the kids was getting better, and it was within a few days of him getting sick, I'd expect the rest to be getting it on the trip. As for the bus thing, I keep hearing horror stories, and I really think it largely is basically luck. I can...

    Just back - 12/12-12/18

    I think you are dead on with this. Saturday the 11th was a zoo at MK as bad as Easter week. I attribute it to MVMCP on the 9th and 10th Bah, it was warm enough for this Canadian Kid :) I even swam on the 11th!! This is, I think where people get into trouble. We were at the parks on...

    NOT the best trip:( And I HATE the busses. Never again.

    To the OP. I always purchase trip cancellation insurance for just these circumstances. There is no way I would have went through with this trip if I were you.

    Day 4 Saturday December 11th Once again we were up at about 6:30 am. This morning we were looking to have a nice breakfast before beginning what would be a busy day. To my surprise both Cape May and the Captains Grille did not begin serving until 7:30 am. We were definitely...

    Day 3 Friday December 10th So we were up at 7 am, this time feeling fine after a good night sleep. This would be our outlet shopping morning. We had some time to kill, so I decided to snap some photos from our mini balcony, not long after dawn. It also looked like this would be a...

    There is a story behind how the trip came about. Last summer 4 of the ladies on our street were planning a shopping trip to NYC for 4 nights over your Veterans day. Right at the same time 11 of the 12 golfing gentlemen on the street planned a golf trip to Myrtle Beach. Only one person...
