I was recently at POR this past week. Unfortunately, Bob is not playing. However, one of the bartenders told me that he may be back within a couple of weeks as the resort is getting more business. As you can see below, we have stayed at various resorts and recently at AKL and FTW. All of us think that POR, formerly DxL, is the best for us. This is not to be mistaken for any negative comments regarding any of the other resorts we have stayed at. They are very nice and suitable for all types of families and individuals. POR is our favorite. In fact, we ate at the food court and restaurant several times on this recent trip. My family certainly missed Bob, but we may return in the fall and find he is back. My personal belief is that any resort onsite, including value resorts, is better than any resort offsite.
Look for my trip report in the next few days - alot of good info.
Good luck on your upcoming trip.
Tim.
