Help!!! Which is most up to date?
Edited to add: We are meeting someone at DTD at 11:00 am and need to make sure we can get there/the best way to get there.
The boats to DTD now start at 10am. They used to have an internal service between POR and POFQ from 9am-11am (mainly for people having breakfast at Boatwright's I assume) and then the full service to DTD started at 11am, but they changed to just running the DTD service starting at 10am a few years ago.
I think I'm just going to ask for Building 16, I'm guessing all the buildings pretty much have Garden View, I'll just say something like "requesting building 16 please so I can get as close as I can to main building" if I say it like this I'm wondering if I may even by chance get a preferred room? I know the chances are very slim but I don't want to say a certain building and take them out of the mix just in case lol
Also I can't fax anymore

We have no landline.....so if I call instead are my chances lower?????
I've got the know the POR Room Assignment manager since I met him on my last trip and we correspond from time to time, and his advice is that faxes are definitely the preferred option as far as he is concerned - and he tries to look over them all personally when he can. Phone calls are OK too of course, but they might come in to different people on different shifts, or even not get past the central call center (in which case all that happens is a new note is added to the master booking). So if you do call, make sure your call is transferred to the right people who can help you. And even with all that, please do remember that requests still cannot be guaranteed...
It looks like there are a lot of activities for familes. Is the outdoor movie seasonal?
Almost forgot, has anyone's child done the pirate cruise at the resort? Thoughts on it?
Yes, there are lots of activities, and the movies are daily, all year round now (see
http://www.portorleans.org/recreation-activites-schedule.php for current and historical schedules). I've not had personal experience of the pirate cruise, but have heard nothing but good things about it. I've seen some very happy looking kids arriving back who seem to have really enjoyed themselves.
I am thinking about booking POR for our next trip in october, but have heard that the bus trnsportation for POR is horrible. Is this true?
As someone else has said: yes and no. Across all of the resorts you'll get someone who just didn't seem to find the service worked for them, and other people (even on the same days) who said it was perfect. POR is no different, other than the extra complication of sometimes sharing with POFQ and sometimes doing extra stops around the resort and sometimes going directly to parks from the South Depot. But in short, I don't think you'll have a major issue, but as with any road-based mass transit system, it is sometimes a matter of luck.

That was exactly what my daughter kept saying last year and she was 10! lol We went back to MK for a second day so she could ride her favourite rides ... they were all her favourite
Nothing wrong with that, some people don't have favourites and just seem to like everything, which is great as they are very easy to please!
