PO Riverside

[gracey712]

I just booked for a week with my family and in-laws at the PO riverside. I've read about the walking between the pools and the bus stops and the food court. Can anyone suggest a room that is within all three?

Hi. We stayed at POR last year and will again in March. Alligator Bayou Building 14 is the closest to all areas. We stayed in this building and it was very nice, very convenient. In March we are staying in one of the mansions, hoping for Magnolia Terrace. Again, pretty close to everything. You will absolutely this resort! The landscaping is so beautiful. We just can't wait to get there!

Isn't 17 a sought after bldg also? Close to Food Court.

Here's another vote for building 14 in Alligator Bayou. It's close to everything.

We stayed in Building 18...very close to the Food Court and just across the bridge from the main pool (there is also a quiet pool right behind the room). I'm not sure about the bus stop because we didn't use the bus transportation.

We stayed in Bdlg 18 last sepetmber (1839)....we loved the location. Close to food court, bus stop, and pools...I think it's a smoking building but we wouldn't have known it if there wasn't an ashtray in the room...which we used for spare change! haha...very nice room and building all around!

I have stayed in bldg 15...on the map FYI it does not show a path from the parking lots at 15/14 that takes you right over to the bus area. If you can get 14 great , but if not 15 was fine...I am not the most athletic person and my kids were 5yrs old could easily make the walk . Blgd 15 also looks over a quiet pool and there is a laundry at the quiet pool. Everything was a comfortable walk

We stayed in Bldg 18 both times we stayed there. It's a nice short walk to the food court and there is a nice back way to a bus stop. Never waited too long for a bus.

I miss POR!!!

I understand PO Riverside is the only Moderate resort that can house a family of 5. Is that true? If so, how are the accomodations? Anyone's insight is appreciated.
Thanks

AB16 is also a good choice many of the rooms have trundle beds.

 

[llrain]

a water view (excluding a pool view u may get) is right on the main path
bldg 27...basically 2 minutes from everything

we are a family of five and just got back from por.loved it.we were in building 27.close to everything.don't think 14 has been remodeled yet.got a peek at one of those rooms and it still had the old bedspread on it.

We are booked in a Water View Room. What building(s) would this put us in? Also, as a family of 5 and knowing that we will have a trundle bed, would a 12 year comfortably fit in the trundle? We also have a 6 year old going but I'm not sure if she will sleep there.

Thanks!

My family has also requested building 14 - from what we've read it seems to be the closest to main buildings and bus. But, I did read somewhere that some of the buildings are smoking. Does anyone know which buildings they are ? We're not looking for smoking. Also, can someone update me about the room request situation - is it 5 days prior that we should phone as a friendly reminder of the building we would like? Thanks.

Buildings 14,15 and 18 are the best for easy access to the main bldg (food court and pool) and the main bus stop.

We were in Bldg 17 and it wasn't a horrible walk, but if we didn't have a car (we used it just to go to the main bus stop) we would have had quite a hike with DS's 5 and 3.

There are just a few "smoking" bldgs, they'll tell you which at check in. Just remember that even those often house non smokers desiring the location. I don't know if our room was in a smoking bldg or not but I don't remember smelling smoke the entire time I was there, even while strolling along all the beautiful paths enroute to the pool and/or food court.

Ask for building # 18, room #1864, My son and I were the first ones to stay in this newly renovated room this past Christmas season. Contrary to what you might have read on the boards, this is a corner room with two windows and two queen beds, not a kingsize bed only.This bldg, is very close to both food court and bus stop . It also has a quiet pool behind the building. Main pool is about 2-5 min. walk, depends what kind of shape one might be in This room is also a non-smoking room. Enjoy your trip.
