I agree with dansdad, especially bc it seems that discounts at POR are very difficult to come by. I would especially NOT count on free dining for October at POR. We used to always be able to get that then. However, now it seems that free dining in October has dramatically decreased. And...

Fax # was 407-934-5777. I looked on Andre's Port Orleans website for the number to call. The CM who answered the phone connected me to another CM, who is the one who confirmed they received the requests and they were granted. Honestly, he said it so quickly that my brain only registered that...

We arrived between 10:00 and 10:30 pm and received all of our requests (proximity to foot bridge and bus stop, top floor, corner room, late check out (got 1:00 check out) and upgrade to river view (from paid garden view RR)..corner room provided river view out one window and garden view out...

It is interesting how awful your housekeeping was. It sounds to me like it is dependent upon the specific "housekeeper". I read on here about some housekeeping issues (exactly like those listed here), so I was a little worried going into our Dec. trip. However, we experienced top notch...

We were there Dec. 20th with Garden Grill breakfast CP pkg. Did not get survey.

depends on what you consider "near"....We were in Oak Manor in December. I considered it near the East depot...about a 3-5 minute walk to our room at the front of Oak Manor. It seemed to me that Oak Manor was about mid-way between the East and South depots. We used both. I used the South...

Back from POR :-(. Can't believe it is over already! As usual, we were thrilled with the resort. Sent in a fax using the template and received all of our requests. Cast members were all very nice, and Yeehaw Bob was awesome as usual. Bus service was very good. Only had one "long wait"...

Will be there on Monday. Arriving at 8 am for breakfast ressie. Planned on leaving, then returning around 4:30. We have a 6:40 ressie for Minnie's Hollywood Dine and Vine. Were planning to watch lights turn on, but that idea is now out the window....ok bc we did that two years ago...will go...

5 days out to Home Sweet Home :-)! I sent my fax from Staples this morning. Had to send two times bc the clerk and I weren't sure if it went through correctly. The clerk told me to try again (3rd try), but I didn't want to upset the POR ppl by sending repeated faxes...then not getting any...

Thank you again! I used the template as a guide, but modified it to make it more personable. I will plan to send the fax this Saturday. I am so thankful to be getting ready for another trip to POR and for all your help here on the DIS!

I think this was addressed before, but I am sorry I forget the response. Our 5 days out will be on a Saturday. It is ok to fax on a Saturday, as the employees doing this our 7 days a week, correct? Or, should I fax on the Friday before or Monday after? Thanks much!!!!

Thank you!

Andre...Looking forward to being at my Home Sweet Home on Dec. 17th :-)! I have read through your port orleans website about faxing room requests. Do you suggest a template, or just writing a short letter? If a template, where can that be found? Thanks for all your help!!!

Thanks very much for your help! I do have the old bands still. So, to clarify, both bands will work? (My daughter has two different colors and likes the idea of interchanging her colors :-) Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving :-)

We have a December trip. Magic bands arrived today. Colors weren't what I thought I ordered, so I looked on MDE. Now, it is showing two different sets of bands. (I think one set might be our old set from 2013 when POR was testing them.) We are only staying at POR, so it's not like we have a...

My son, 15, loves POR. We've stayed at Movies, Wilderness Lodge, and POR with him. He even prefers POR over WL! In fact, it is both my kids' favorite (DD9). I'm sure you're boys will love it...After all, what's not to love :-)!!!

A Must Do!! is definitely YeeHaw Bob!!! We also really enjoy the carriage ride around the resort. After all the hustle and bustle in the parks, it provides a very nice quiet activity for the family.

Thanks, Andre! I've never had a problem before, but when she told me that I thought maybe something changed. It was her travel agent who told her that, and I certainly understand that travel agents don't necessarily know Disney ;-)! With so much to do between now and our Christmas trip, I...

Super excited! 60 days out. Stayed up tonight to do my FP+ and got everything I wanted at the times I wanted, including Elsa and Anna and viewing MK Christmas fireworks on Dec. 22nd :-)!...Have a 6:30 BOG ADR and need to be by Casey's corner for firework viewing by 7:35-7:55...that should be...

When making a room request, I understand that one should have requests on the reservation AND fax in the requests, correct? To get them on the reservation itself, I assume I have to call bc I booked online....If so, do I call the resort directly or the WDW reservation line? Thanks!
