POR - Floor preference?

[mommykds]

We are staying in POR AB. Is there any reason you'd request ground floor or 2nd floor as a preference..what are the pros/cons? Thanks!

ground floor pro : no stairs to carry all your luggage up and down.

Upper floor pro - no loud thumping around from people above . Perhaps not so many people passing your room? Not sure, that one was a guess.

Last year we had a first floor corner room. I requested this because the corner rooms have 2 windows and I thought the 1st floor would be more convenient for the kids. If we stayed again I would request a corner room on the 2nd floor so there wouldn't be so many people walking by and I could keep the curtains open more.

Interesting variety of answers.....we have done AB 2x and asked for ground floor corner each time. The extra window does make the room seem bigger and it is lighter. We felt like the porch was all our own because NO ONE walked past our room. So private. Never heard any noise upstairs. I guess it depends on which corner you get......last trip we faced a quiet pool from front window and bog w/bridge from side window and there was no reason for someone to walk by our room.......

Each time I requested 2nd floor because I am a light sleeper and I didn't want to hear footsteps above me. I had bell services help me with the luggage. This is a solo trip for me - and I'm not getting any younger ( 51 ), so I really appreciated bell services. But this past trip, my right hip joint was killing me, and those stairs really hurt.
So, there's both pros and cons.

We stayed in POR AB last year, and after a looong day at the parks, those stairs were a killer!!!I would choose a first floor room next time.

I prefer being on the top floor because I dislike listening to people thumping about above me. I don't mind using the elevators.

I'm a first floor fan. Like luvtogo said, after a long day at the parks, the last thing I want is to climb the stairs. ALSO... DS 4 would have had something to complain about if he'd had to climb stairs. He did well to hike around the parks and resort all day. We recently got back from AB in POR and the first floor was great. Very little noise.

We have requested first floor at POR-AB because we have kids and will have a double and a single stroller with us.

As you probably know, the AB section does not have elevators.

Have fun!

Also a vote for first floor corner room! Nobody walked by our room and it was pretty quiet.
