POR - A Birthday Surprise-Royal Guest Room

[DznyDreams]

DH & I have pro-ed and con-ed ourselves to death trying to pick the best time to go to WDW next year. I think we have finally decided to switch our early-March CSR res for an early-June POR res. The major deciding factor was DD's 17th b-day and her love of antebellum architecture. Also, I think the Royal Guest Rooms look absolutely enchanting for princesses of all ages! DH is not as thrilled for some reason DD on the other hand, saw a picture of the rooms on allears not too long ago, and she thought they were "awesome!"

Any tips? I am seriously thinking of booking a river view room. Any thoughts on this view vs. others?

I really want to make this trip special for our DD. She has begged us for years to take her to WDW for her birthday, but we have never considered it until now. What Disney-like treatments and/or surprises can I have waiting for her in our room upon arrival? Any ideas for this beautiful 17-year-old princess of mine? We will arrive ON her actual birthday.

TIA!

The RR's are in Oak Manor and Parterre Place; I have had some of my favorite rooms located in both of those buildings.

Oak Manor has some nice rooms overlooking the pool; while Parterre Place has better locations with riverview rooms. The other rooms can be some of the more remote rooms at the resort.

My favorite was the riverview room at Parterre Place and I was on the corner, so I had a beautiful view of the river - the stair was blocking the next room's view - just about 30' away. The sound of the water taxi coming back at night was heavenly.
