Anyone booked PO Riverside with points?

[anabelle]

I am debating on booking PO Riverside for 35 points or just borrowing a few points to be able to add a Saturday to our vacation at OKW in June . I come up 7 points short. If we went with P.O., we would need the room with the trundle. Could I stipulate that in the ressie? It would be so nice not to have to borrow for once, but is it worth a move?

Remember, it will also cost you a booking fee of $95 plus the points. I would check for AP rates or borrow the points for OKW.

I would definitely borrow the points.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the $95. I guess I am going to hope for a code or borrow (again)

I hope you are able to find a code as it would be worth the move. POR and French Quarter are very charming resorts. We did a Saturday stay once at FQ and loved it.

I personally don't think it is worth it. We stayed on an AP rate one night at PORS when we got in late on a Saturday. We just felt it wasn't worth the Saturday points. I also did not think PORS was worth the cost. We felt like we were staying in a Motel 6 except for the food court. We will NOT be doing that again. I would reccommend springing for the extra points and staying DVC.

Even if the booking fee is not $95,it would be the old $75 price correct?
