POR " preferred room"

[princesskimberella]

I have us booked for a standard room in Alligator Bayou, DH said to try to get a preferred room for the extra $65.. what is the difference ?? From past experience it seemed that all the AB rooms are toward the back of the resort anyway..

Actually there are four buildings that are a two minute walk to the main building; those are considered preferred.

We stayed in AB last time and were really far away from the main building/pool. I splurged and paid for a preferred room this time. Here's a really great site that gives you some info about Port Orleans:

Just to clarify. The preferred rooms at POR are the AB rooms closest to the main building (where dining, check in and the south bus stop are located).

I really miss the days when POR didn't have all those room categories If you are traveling with children, listen to your husband and pay for the preferred room!! When I took my 5 year old grandson in March, I was so glad I had preferred. It was building 18, less than 2 minutes from the food court and a bus stop. Very handy at 10:00 at night.

oh and thanks for the link to the PRO site ! I can see on the map that it would be better for us to get a preferred room. Las ttime we were in 34 which was right by the bus stop but the walk to eat and use the pool was a ways for the kid.

I agree! We were in Building 18 (back before they made it a preferred building) and loved the location. If I ever stay at PORS (or at CBR again either for that matter) it will be in a preferred room. Those are the two resorts that a preferred room is worth the extra price.
