Thanks for the review. We stayed in the Mansions section last spring (2006) and loved our trip, too!
We just returned from POR on Saturday. (SO SAD ) We loved POR! The pool was awesome, the check-in process was quick and painless, mousekeeping was great..I could go on and on! Our mousekeeper left our stuffed animals in cute little poses to welcome us back each night and we got a towel animal. The refillable mugs are a lifesaver when you get back from the parks after a long hot day. Bus service was efficient. We didn't wait for any bus for more than 15 minutes...either to the parks in the AM or on the way back at night. Most times we waited much less than that. (The line always looked LONG and SCARY but the buses came quickly and did a great job clearing the people out!) We had a small problem with water delivery, but the front desk was very helpful and fixed the problem quickly. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and so peaceful to return to after a day at the parks. My only regret....we didn't have enough time to spend exploring the resort as much as I would have liked. I would definitely go back and this time plan time to hang out at the resort. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! If I can't be there, I may as well relive it by talking about it!!
Thanks! I did not realize 18 was smoking-optional- we HAVE to have NON-smoking! We have no problems walking a little further, if it is quieter, good point. I can't wait to go- this is a family birthday surprise for the kids- they think we are not going until late 2008!
great pics. i am now even happier. doe the AB buldings have elevators? it looks sooooo nice! cant wait thank you!
We have 49 days left. Crazy that we all know the EXACT amount of days until WDW!
Dave - thanks for the pics. We were there 2 years ago and cannot wait to go again. Those pics just got me that much more excited!
Are the refillable mugs the new mugs? I was hoping for the million dreams mugs, but the last thread I read, they were still the brownish ones. I know some people don't like the new mugs, but I am ready for a NEW one to add to the small collection we have.
We also have a carriage ride planned. Our first night there, in the late evening. We like going when it is dark. For us it makes it much more magical and exciting!

This shouldn't be a problem by the time you arrive for your trip... ALL disney hotels will be smoke-free starting in June. So you can feel free to stay in Building 18 if you'd like
