    Room discounts for walk-ins

    Good to know. Online there is availability in all price brackets and since it looks like rack rate is our fate for this time, I might as well book before we get there. Thank you all for the great info! :thumbsup2

    Room discounts for walk-ins

    Does anyone know if POR (or any other resort) might offer a discount for walk-ins? We're looking into a 1 night stay during the holiday season 2012 and wondering if there's any way to get a discount. Would love to stay at the Poly or Boardwalk or POR. Thanks

    Port Orleans Riverside Photos

    We just got back & I'm 90% sure the Mansion we walked past that had just gone down for renos was Acadia. They told us at check-in that our room in Magnolia Terrace had just been completed the day before our arrival and I read many posts while I was researching on the boards for our trip - that...

    The most helpful CM - Abena Louise

    I need to send a "Sweetest CM" letter about a cast member at Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom. She was helping the characters at the character dinner. She seemed a little abrasive when we first got there. But after DH collapsed with heart attack symptoms and was taken to Celebrity...

    POR transportation...I am worried

    We just got back from POR & had absolutely no problem most of the time. Our only problem was after Fantasmic at MGM. We went twice and both times had about a 1/2 hour wait for a bus. They were loading 2 buses at a time for POR and Pop Century but couldn't seem to keep up with the volume. To...

    Tipping Questions

    For those of us with self-help guys ..... would it be inappropriate to handle your own luggage at POR? I mean, I know we'll be found out to be the hicks we really are but how much will we stand out in the crowd. I'm wondering whether to be firm like Karen or save it for another issue - you...

    POR - which mansion under reno?

    Thanks for the replies. Sheila, that's adorable about your son thinking the toys were roaming the room while you were out. I can imagine how exciting Toy Story must be for him now. Is Partere Place non-smoking and do you know if it's been renovated yet? I've read somewhere that river...

    Does anyone know which mansion(s) are currently under renovation? We leave SOON!! :yo-yo: (stomache turning with excitement) so we need to finalize our preferences. If we want a non-smoking mansion are we likely to be successful?

    Back packs in theme parks?

    Does a fanny pack count as a bag - in other words, if we fit everything in our fanny packs do we still have to go through the "with bag" entrance?

    How do I keep my digital camera and camcorder dry on "wet" rides

    I'm looking at buying a digital camcorder for our trip and have had a couple people tell me I shouldn't take it on any of the rides. The motion of the rides may damage it. Anyone have a problem like that?
