[PennyLane1084]

Hi Scott. The title of your TR reeled me in. I saw Harry Potter and had to check it out. POR looks really nice. Can't wait to hear more.

Riverside is so beautiful and peaceful, and I love all the pictures from the boat ride! Too bad it took so long for a boat to arrive!

it is. That is the best part of staying there is the boat ride to DTD. It was a long wait but it was ok.

Yay on the room being ready and get one of your requests. I love the pics of POR looks really nice. For one of our upcoming trips we will need a moderate since we are planning on two trips in 2011 and might try POR or POFQ. It will be change from CBR.

It is a very nice resort. They r 2 different resorts. POR has the most activities but FQ is more quiet and peaceful. Any questions just ask, it was my 3rd time there.

Subbing!!

i hope you went up in the balloon we did and loved it.

Not on this trip. I did it last October and it was fun. I wanted to go and do it at night but never did.

Hi Scott. The title of your TR reeled me in. I saw Harry Potter and had to check it out. POR looks really nice. Can't wait to hear more.

Well I won't reveal anything but Harry probably won't be as exciting as everyone thinks. I think people will be
disappointed with my Harry update. We will see.
POR is really nice but has issues as you will discover as we proceed.

POR looks so relaxing. The theming is great.
The boat to DTD is a huge plus.

there was a nice fountain they were cleaning there and then it magically came on one night we came home. It was pretty and a great location.

POR looks so relaxing. The theming is great.
The boat to DTD is a huge plus.

it was. That is what I like most of it. That 20 minute ride is so relaxing.

As we arrived we saw.

We are on the deluxe dining plan so we figured we would use it. We walked into

They made us wait a whole minute and we were seated.
The menus we looked through.

Appetizers:
Vinny - Spinach & Artichoke Dip - served with tortilla chips :
Scott - New England clam chowder

Entrees:
Vinny - Shrimp and Penne Pasta - in a creamy Lobster Sauce
Scott - Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - with Cajun mustard aioli, green asparagus tips, and roasted garlic red skin potatoes.

Con't in next post...

Desserts:
Scott - Kahlua cheesecake

Vinny - Double Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream - drizzled with Caramel Sauce and Raspberry Sauce served with Vanilla Ice Cream

The cost of the meal would have been $77.82

This meal was really good. It was our first time eating here and I would definitely go back. I had a rootbeer and Vinny fell in love with Minute Maid Light Pomegranate Lemonade.
After our first meal at Disney we decided to walk over to our new home, Saratoga Springs. We had been approved the week before the trip and Vinny wanted to see what he got himself into. A few birds at Rainforest Cafe.

Walking towards the exit.

Vinny wanted his pic taken here.

This bird was big.

We walked around and got as far as the main area and Vinny wanted to go back and take a nap. We were both so tired to walk back to DTD so we took a bus

to

Self portrait.

I think this is a good spot to stop.

Up next..What did Vinny say that got me mad and IP DIP DINNER..

 

[MeMom]

Our building. I will say I do love the theming of POR, it is just peaceful and beautiful.

I agree. I think this area (the walk from POR to POFQ) is among some of the most tranquil on all of Disney property.

 

[Native NYer]

That Kahlua cheesecake looks so good!
I may have to try Cap'N Jack's just for the dessert

Capt Jack is on my to do list !!! I also liked both your choices for entrees but the cheesecake is my choice for dessert!!!

 

[PrincessAlways]

Hey Scott!! I'm finally here! Still sad that we couldn't meet this time. Hopefully during another trip.
Check in & room ready!!! POR is a nice, relaxing resort.
Nice pics on the boat ride to DDT!
That Kahlua cheesecake looks wonderful!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I always forget about the sit-down restaurants at DtD when I am making ADRs. Glad to hear Captain Jack's was tasty -- those desserts look delicious -- especially the cheesecake!

Love the bus pictures!

I don't think I realized you bought DVC! Congratulations! Looking forward to your Saratoga pictures!

Uh-oh, I am nervous about what Vinny did to make you mad.

It is a nice place.

Yeah we got approved the week before our trip. Thank you.
