    Staying at POR royal rooms...

    We stayed in Oak Manor at the front (facing the river) and almost always took the bus from the East depot. It usually had a couple of people on it, but less than 1/4 full.

    2013 Mug Watch!

    We'll be there in 2 weeks and I'm hoping for new mugs. I really wish they'd do 4 different colours though so we can each have our own colour. Coffee stains the mug with flavour no matter how we wash it and having water in there after someone has coffee in it is nasty!

    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

    We will be there in two weeks with our 3 & 7 year olds!!! So very excited for them. When I booked the BBB, they asked me to choose a package then and I chose the Crown package. Now we are planning to let them each pick out a dress when we get there. Can anyone tell me any advantage or...

    Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread --- 2012, Part Three --- NOW FULL / CLOSED

    We have 2 Royal Guest rooms - just the standard view. Yes, I worded it wrong. We have made sure it is linked in the system as requesting connecting rooms. Looking at the floorplans that Andre posted, I'm wondering if there actually are any connecting Royal rooms?? Looks like there are...

    We are leaving in 3 weeks. We are a 2 family party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids 7 and under) travelling together. We booked Royal Guest Rooms and requested adjoining rooms. Any special requests I should make as to location? We only paid for standard view and want to be easily accessible to the...

    Photopass plus question

    I haven't seen this asked already. We are a group of 8 (2 families travelling together) for our upcoming trip. If we get photopass plus and split it, how does it work for character meals where there are pictures taken that are included in PP+? Say for CRT, for example. Can we have 2 sets of...

    On site photos

    I didn't want to hijack the photopass thread, but was wondering, do they still do the photos that have the add-ons after the fact? I am blanking on what they called it, but they superimpose some characters into the picture.

    How much is your 2013 WDW vacation going to cost you?

    I booked it online with no promo, then called a few weeks later to add dining. Then out came the Stay/Play/Dine promo so I called back to adjust to that one. Literally 4 minutes after I got off the phone, I got an email with a PIN for free dining. You need to call and get the...

    Those who have used the Disney Encyclopedia of Characters for autographs

    We took two but actually didn't end up using one. The kids took turns - one would give the book to the character and one would give the marker. Next character - switch! I would recommend taking it to kinkos or someplace and getting it coil bound though. Also...take it to 1900 Park Fare...

    Polynesian question

    They definitely go wherever there is food. There were multiple ducks and some squirrels that harrassed my kids for breakfast scraps when we stayed there in January. We thought it was cute...the kids, notsomuch.

    Help me find crocs for 9 year old girls!

    They sell Disney crocs on site. They have a great selection of sizes and colours - any of the resort gift shops or the WOD store at DTD has them. They're not cheap though. I think the adult ones were $42 and kids were $35 when we were there in January.

    Best Room @ Poly

    We stayed on the 1st floor in Roratonga this past January and it was perfect! We had a nice little private patio area that faced the monorail. Our patio was bordered by shrubs so people walking by couldn't see us, there was no noise from the monorail, but the kids could watch for and see the...

    Curious about bounce back offers...

    That was our experience. We booked a room only discount and stayed at Poly in Jan 2012...when we arrived there was a BB offer for a room only discount - although it was actually a higher discount than what we had gotten - but had to be used by dec 31/12., which we couldn't swing.

    Yay! Free dining pin!

    I got this too! I had spent 170 minutes on the phone with them today trying to get my other package changed to the stay/play/dine one and no sooner hung up when the email with the PIN popped into my inbox. I am about to call and put it to use! I have 2 separate reservations - one is under my...
