It's The Port Orleans FAQ Thread!!!

[pixie dust 112]

After looking at some of the pics, it looks like the "rustic" beds in AB may be a little higher than the other beds. Is my assumption correct? Are those the ones with the trundles?

That's actually a good thing for us. Our DS 7 has cerebral palsy and having a higher bed means less bending over when doing transfers.

Thanks,

WLL

the beds are high. I like that. Some people worry that they are too high for kids, but we stayed there when our kids were really little and had no problem!
I think those beds will work well for you!

Some Pics from last week if anyone is interested.


Riverside Pics

I LOVED your pictures! Is the entire AB section like that? Or do some of the rooms have parking lot views?

Are refrigerators standard in the rooms at POR now or is there still a $10 charge per day?

Does any one know if they charge the $15 per night fee for the trundle bed, that was stated in the beg of this thread?? That will definitly change things for us, if they do!

Less then 10 hours until we fly to WDW and stay at POR! My sister just came home tonight from staying at POR and said it was great (minus the crowded buses ) .....we may just walk to POFQ if we get the building in the mansions closest to POFQ. Nonetheless, I'm excited and I will see you all when I get back!

Question from DD6 that she wants me to ask: "Have any of you who have stayed there ever been eaten by alligators?"



The Mom version: Anyone seen gators on the river at all? This is not a OMG SQUEEEEEEEE NO ANIMALS PLEASE question, I actually LOVE reptiles and am hoping to see one relatively close in the wild!
