We checked out yesterday and I am having POR withdrawals. This was our first on-site stay out of 15 plus trips, and POR did not disappoint.
We were in Oak Manor building 90 with a beautiful view of our courtyard and the water, boat dock, etc. Short walks to everything, although we never did make it over to AB. Main pool and quiet pool were both great.
Food court was crowded in the mornings as I expected. I will say the food court was better than I anticipated.....not great, but definitely better than I imagined!
I have to say that Disney really did an awesome job on the Royal Rooms! We were very impressed with all the details. And POR is just really a beautiful and peaceful resort. My only complaint is very minor--we hated walking through all the smoking areas, they were all on the main paths and very annoying to have to walk through 2-3 areas of smokers just to get to the food court area. Just seems like they could move those somewhere more out of the way.
We had no problems with the bus service, even made it to our 7:20 a.m. Chef Mickey ADR on time
On a side note, if the new part of Fantasyland is a good indication of what the rest will be like.....AWESOME!! It was beautiful.
Can't post any pics yet, as we are driving home after a quick visit with the in-laws and won't be home until midnight. I will post some tomorrow if I can.
So thankful for this thread and all the tips it gave us to have a magical vacation
