Shaden said:Thanks guys. We are just concerned is all... have the king bed POR but have no interest in Alligator bayou. Really doesnt leave a good feeling not knowing where we will/could end up when paying this much for a trip and there being considerable differences between the resorts.
We stayed in a king bed room at POR very recently. We booked the king bed room, and then requested one in a mansion building with a water view. They gave us room #8416, which was a king bed in one of the mansion buildings (Acadian House). Our room had a view of the river and was the closest room to the elevator It was on the third floor.
Only the Acadian House and Magnolia Terrace sections have king beds, because the other mansion buildings are the royal rooms.
For what it's worth, I was like you about Alligator Bayou v. Magnolia Bend rooms before our trip. Once I got there, I actually thought the Alligator Bayou buildings looked nicer than the Magnolia Bend areas in person.
Call in a room request and make sure it's on your reservation (just request Acadian House or Magnolia Terrace), that's the best you can do.
I've seen a map like what you're looking for but it was for one of the value resorts.
Have you seen the AB rooms since the refurbishment? They are drastically different aesthetically. I used to not like the looks of the AB rooms and requested the mansion rooms all the time but after the refurb, the AB rooms actually look really nice and well themed.
2nd this. I refused to stay at Port Orleans Riverside before the refurb because I hated the way the rooms looked in the AB section and didn't want to chance it. I think the Disney website still shows the old AB room interior. I still prefer the Magnola Bend rooms to Alligator Bayou, but the new Alligator Bayou rooms are SO much cuter than the old ones.
