Only 31 more sleeps until our first stay at POR! We have been counting down since 159 sleeps. We are almost there.

 

[FigmentChick]

OK, so we get four of us with SLRs and wide lenses to vacation at the same time, and strap the cameras to the top of a Surrey Bike with a simultaneous shutter release system set up...

Andre

I'm down with this! I'll volunteer my camera! LOL

We don't check out until the 4th so maybe we'll see you! If I see someone crouching and snapping pictures I'll wave

I love this idea! Fun! If it were actually a possibility and we were all down there at once, we could do it and then do a little photo walk too!

You cant miss me I'll have the big DSLR camera out and lime green mickey heads hanging from my book bag! I typically where a Hurley ball cap when not working. But I usually have the tags visible!

Yeah that would be the best!

 

[Stan Solo]

Yeah they should use the google bikes and go through the whole WDW resort, or at least main areas.

They did this at Sea World. The coolest part is they went down the front of the killer whale show and got a photo of the whale jumping out of the water but, the best is the photos of the crowd watching the show.

Thank you! As per usual.... I'm completely losing it! I knew the date it was supposed to release was the 10th, but I was thinking today is the 10th!!!

I think even the Disney Visa cardholders could only book it until yesterday. No one can book until the 10th now, if I understood correctly.

What buildings at POR are considered "preferred rooms"" Any of the Mansions?? Thanks!!

Mansions aren't preferred but I felt like most of the river view rooms in the mansions were really convenient to the main building (not counting the royal room buildings). I think if we did POR again, we'd do a river view mansion for sure.

 

[Gorechick]

Preferred rooms are in Alligator Bayou only. The Mansions have standard, garden, water, and river views. Acadian House and Magnolia Terrace have regular decor rooms, Oak manor and Parterre Place are now Royal Rooms. Check the first post in the FAQ for a map and view info.
