Resort Thread Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE Resort

Yes unfortunately the menu I sent is complete. I was really looking forward to both breakfast sandwiches and they are nowhere to be found. Someone in front of me was also asking for the quiche and was told they were no more

I was hoping that at least the make-your-own fruit fruit bowl might just have been on a second page that you missed. What shame.

I booked a Royal Room garden view for September. My options were standard, pool or garden. I know I didn't want standard or pool. I wanted river, however that was no longer available for our dates. Upon reviewing the map it appears that garden view in Oak Manor could potentially see the parking lot if it is at the back end of the bldg. If this is the case I could have probably booked standard? I was hoping to have as little of a walk to the main bldg as possible. I know that pool view may have been a bit closer, but the potential noise near the pool is not something we wanted.

14 days! I am getting sooo excited!

There are also lots of Royal Garden View rooms on the river-facing side of the buildings, which are pretty much as good as some of the official River View rooms. So it could go either way, put in a request and keep your fingers crossed.

I believe the bakery area of POR QS opens at 6:00 a.m. Does that mean you can get your coffee refill at 6:00 as well? We are early risers and need our coffee first thing!

Yes, the RapidFill beverage dispensers are open during all normal food court hours, and apart from cleaning periods usually outside of those hours too.

We'll be returning to PORS for our big family trip in 2018 - I remember hearing rumors about them installing more RapidFill stations around the resort property, since it can be quite a hike back to Riverside Mill to refill our mugs. Is there any truth to that rumor? Sorry, I tried using the Search function but my results didn't come up with anything substantial.

Thanks!

As far as I know the only refill station is in food court

Nope . Although there are containers of fruit everywhere. They were in the refrigerated section and also in the bakery section with the pastries.

I took one last walk around a little bit ago. There was a lot of hustle and bustle at Muddy Rivers. Looked like they were working hard to get it ready. I saw an employee driving a small motorized vehicle that had all of the lifeguard gear in it headed toward the pool, and on my way back to my room, I took this final pic. All the construction equipment and materials are gone. The fence appears done. All the chairs are in place. It looks like Ole man island is ready to go again.

It looks great. We'll be there in June and plan to enjoy it and the pool bar, too.

My family is going on may 28th and will be staying in an AB room with a river view. I was wondering if anyone knew what bldgs those included. TIA

I assume you have five people in your room, which is the only way to guarantee you'll get an Alligator Bayou room if you've booked River View. If so, you will be in buildings 14, 27 or 38.

THAT is a beautiful sight to see!

We just booked for August....from what I'm reading, there is not a Rapid Fill at the main pool? We were at Coronado a couple years ago and I believe we could refill at that pool. Is it just per hotel or something new?

 

[bit413]

Checking in on Friday. Any construction updates?

Just swam in the pool!

It would be nice if they opened a station near Muddy Waters at the pool. BC & GF have Rapid Fill stations at main pool near pool bars. So handy.

Each resort is different.

We were there at CSR in 2011 and could not refill cups by the pool.
