Here goes....Stayed from Nov6-13 at POR. Got there around 6h30pm and bell service took our luggage (and a couple of bags from Publix) and ourselves to the room...and when we left they took it back too and kept them until we left for the airport (gave 2-3$ in tip).
I had requested a room in the mansions, specifically in Oak Manor. That's exactly what I got. We liked the room. It was a big room and the beds were comfortable...the pillows though were not that great...you could see the room had been refurbished.
Smoking rooms in Oak Manor are only situated on the 3rd floor. Don't worry there's an elevator.
It was also very quiet. We didn't hear any of the neighbors (though we know we had them).
The room had a fridge, an iron and ironing board, a hair dryer, a coffee pot and coffee (included decaf) each poach of coffee had sugar, powdered creamer, shampoo and 2 type of soaps (face and body), styrofoam glasses for the coffee, ...NO shower caps though...Left 1$ each day for room service and mousekeeping was pretty good except for one day (no additional coffee or glasses and she didn't clean ashtray) so didn't leave money...next day had lots of coffee, coffee glasses and clean ashtrays (somehow I think it wasn't the same person who had done the room). oups! almost forget to mention that she also did a bit of fancy work with a glass towel and my toobrush...
It was a quick walk to the food court/restaurant and to the busses. We always used the main stop at the entrance as it's POR 1st stop (after POFQ). As well, we got into a bus a couple of times and it didn't do the run around the depot. Wait time for busses was ok most of the time. Only once there was no MK bus coming for more than 20min and there was a major line....then 2 came almost together. Of course when leaving the park at closing time / after fireworks, lines can be pretty long. For info. at MK they separate busses between POFQ and POR...the night we came back the line was so long we decided to get into the POFQ bus instead...either we would walk, take the boat to POR or get the driver to make another stop (which he did when there was about 10 of us from POR).
To go to DD we took the boat and it was very pleasant and relaxing.
Didn't get insect bites at POR but was bitten when we went to see HDD show at FW.
Didn't go into AB but saw it from the bus and there were people around there that were obviously construction workers...
Get those refillable mugs (2 kinds) suggest the one that actually closes so you don't spill it!!
