Cant believe I am actually saying those words!!! Already checked in online and printed our boarding passes...tomorrow at this time we will be approaching the airport for landing!! 
We leave tomorrow!!!!
I will try and post while there....might be iffy as I am not taking my laptop and my phone is slow!
It might be worth asking about any bounce-back offers before you leave, but generally they don't go far enough ahead to make a booking for next year.
They are wooden blinds with drapes over them. We just got back last week from POR and we loved staying in a Royal Room!
It was a great first trip to WDW. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. 
We had an awesome time. We only took the boat the first evening to Downtown Disney. It's a nice ride. But our last night we took the bus to Downtown Disney. We usually left and got off out the East depot because it was closest to our building. The buses sometimes got crowded or was a little wait, but I don't think it was anything unusual or worth complaining. We went to the pool every afternoon at least for a few hours. My boys loved it and loved the slide. Sometimes it was hard finding an ideal place to lay down but someone was always leaving and you could grab their chairs. There was a lot we didn't do like the movie night or campfire. We would definitely come back to Port Orleans Riverside. I was a little confused with the Magical Express checkout and luggage procedure. They checked us in and 4 of our bags. But I didn't know that. So yesterday morning, I logged onto the airline website and checked in and paid for 2 checked bags. 
But it was $35 each. I thought that was weird.
But it charged us that because they thought we already checked in four bags. Whatever, I have to call Delta and see if I can get refunded some money as we only had 2 bags checked. Thanks for sharing your experiences to help make our trip great! I'm sad we are back home, but thankful that my feet get a rest. 
My son had a stuffed Mickey Mouse that he brought from home. It has movable arms and legs. He left it on a bench at the East Depot bus stop. Boo! Someone took it and didn't turn it in. So that makes me sad.
My dd was so sad when I told her that we couldn't stay there. We are at POFQ in 2 standard rooms. Someone please talk it up to me because I am so sad I couldn't get the room/ resort I wanted.
So sad!!! There are no connecting Royal Rooms!
We have too many kids. Haha. My bad. Lol. Just so depressed than there aren't any connecting rooms!! She actually said there weren't any in Alligator Bayou either. The only connecting ones were in building 24 or in POFQ. Depressing. DD would have loved it for her birthday.
