My DW and I stayed at POP Century a couple years back for an overnighter while waiting to cruise DCL. It was nice. We sometimes have stayed at Port Orleans Riverside but have lost interest in that this past October. Only because the food court has really gone downhill. The rest of Riverside is very nice and not expensive.
Happy birthday and enjoy WDW regardless of where you stay.

Hi Michelle!

Sorry, I'm from Long Island. But my birthday is October 16th-- pretty close (if you don't count the fact that I just turned 50!)

If you're AAA members, you may be able to get a discount on the rooms, so take a look at that, OK??

Welcome to the Dis! Where abouts are you from? My family just moved from upstate NY last July and we lived a few miles from Canada.

We lived about 20 minutes from Potsdam, in Ogdensburg. No one truly knows the meaning of upstate, unless you live a few miles from Canada. Whenever someone would ask us where we were from, we would say upstate NY and they would say oh near Buffalo or Syracuse? lol

We are not originally from NY and when we first moved here we moved to Fort Drum (Watertown). When we moved to Rochester I couldn't get myself to call it upstate. I mean, in relation to NYC yes we are upstate, but compared to Watertown, not so mcuh, so that is why we always say we are from Western NY.

Hello to all you Upstate and Western NYers. We are in Rochester. Hope you have a great birthday trip Michelle!

As my avatar indicates, we are from Hamlin, about 25-30 miles Northwest of Rochester. If we say Rochester people can relate to that as opposed to saying we are from Hamlin. Were abouts in Rochester are you?

It's a small world indeed. I spent 5 years as a deacon at St. Helen's Catholic Church in Gates, 1993-1998. Still have friends in Gates.
As for the "F.O.", it's a phrase that was created from another discussion board site we are a part of for a Dis cruise coming up in October. It means, First On, as when you are the first to post on a page. The F.O. is only such when you immediately post the second time claiming the F.O. before someone else posts ahead of that second post claiming the F.O. That is what I did to keep you from getting the F.O..
