november 2009 trip report Port Orleans Riverside

[bakermom]

Port Orleans riverside hotel..We got a room at Oak Manor. Very clean and nice. Although, could have been closer to foodcourt, main pool. First night just ate at Boatwrights dining hall. I don't recommend it. Food was not very good..The only thing good was the corn bread. Sorry for the spelling errors..Can't type for my life. I must say, PortOrleans, is a very quiet resort. Nothing going on except kids in the pool areas. My husband was bored the first night in this hotel. We both loved the grounds, but, thought they need a little more going on at night when parks close. We ended up going on a boat ride to down town disney..We liked it very much. We had a drink by the water and did some shopping and people watching. Day 2, Got up early and went to the food court which was insane!! People pushing eachother while ordering food and long lines thru the cashiers..Husband was turned right off from the school cafeteria style atmoshere. I thought it was big enough, but, not so many choices as I thought tthey would have. Lunch or afternoon was easy at the foodcourt. First time using bus service..I have to say it was no trouble at all. Longest wait was 20 minutes and that was only once. Day 2 Epcot..

Day 2.. Epcot, Hubby and I arrived first thing after breakfast. We got right onto every ride no trouble. We liked them all except the nemo ride. It was boring and short..Waste of time. We then had lunch which husband complained about. We decide then to go back to the hotel for a break. We got the first bus and was back in no time. We had made reservations at the Liberty tree tavern last minute and got in. We liked the adult atmsphere and the way they served family style. We had plenty to eat and was happy with that restaurant. We then waited for the wishes firewrk show and it was so worth it. Very Magical! Even grouchy husband agreed. We were back at the hotel around 10:00 We weren't tired, we ended up taking the boat again to downtown disney for a drink and some goodies. Thank goodness that was an option in the evening..Or I think my husband would have gone crazy in the room. I do think Disney needs to have more for just the adults at the resorts and the parks..Not everyone who goes has little kids. They will not keep adults satisfied.
