Hello from POR. We arrived here Saturday around 11am, it was the worst check in we had here ever, but we finally got into our room and it is a refurbished, lower level AB room and a corner room close to the parking lot. So, I was happy with that. We love the refurb, think they look great!
A few things:
1. The AC/heat unit now has a wooden box over it and it does block the air. It took our room about 24 hrs to get to the temp we wanted, but it has stayed there since. The maintence men came down and said that is the problem and offered to take off the box if it didnt get better soon. But, it looks cute and we waited.
2. The murhpy bed is so much bigger than I expected. I was scared my DD12 would be too big. She is just under 5 foot and around 115lbs. She has plenty of room and says it is comfortable enough, a little hard, but not too bad. And again, it is so cute!
3. As far as the storage areas... the 3 drawers under the murphy bed hold quite a bit. I let each of the kids have a drawer and whatever didnt fit I hung up. (called and asked for extra hangers too). There is also a shelf unit next to the fridge that DH and I used and again what we didnt fit on there we hung.
4. There is room between the bed and wall closest to the bathroom that fits our suitcases in between. Makes the person on the side next to the wall not able to get off the side of bed, but also keeps the suitcases out of the way.
5. I just checked the channels here and yes, we do have the channels added that Andre mentioned. Im watching the Bio channel now.
6. There is some painting going on on the outside of many AB buildings this week, no color changes of course, but just an update. Lots of work around the resort, but nothing that seems to get in your way or wakes you or anything.
7. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL except Sunday. Sunday was our MK day and it rained ALL DAY.

But, it did also keep MK less crowded and we were able to ride everything we wanted, barely needing to use the GAC since wait times were low. It has been so nice, a good breeze keeps you cooled down, yet the sun is shinning!
8. Have had several problems with CMs and the GAC we have for our DD with heart problems and who is on a monitor. I wont go into details, but this has beent he worst with it all. Nothing to make me not want to come to WDW, but I have been a little soured this trip.
Anything else you want to know...ask away. Ill check back on here later today or tonight.
