Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread --- 2012, Part Two --- NOW CLOSED

[LovingDisny]

Last 2 years we stayed at BC and we stopped at POR and POFQ, then Boardwalk, Yacht and last BC. Hoping this year (we are staying at POR) we stop at POR first too!

This was the order for stops during our last stay as well. Also hoping for POR being first stop next time.. crossing my fingers.

We need one night before our DVC reservation and we've never stayed here, but always hear great things about it. If I want specifically AB, can I book a preferred room in be guaranteed in that section? I want to make sure we have the extra pull down bed.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone.
We arrive at 12:35, which I'm afraid might be a crowded time.

That's easy, your DH gets the car (and takes the luggage too if he wants) while you and DD take Magical Express - and see who gets there first! Think of it as your first DIS adventure of the vacation, and let us know what the results were.

I'm betting on Magical Express getting there about 30 minutes or more before the rental! I've never waited more than 5 or 10 minutes for Magical Express to board and leave the airport. Plus I figure... the driver knows how to get there much better than me!

But if ME stops at Old Key West, then Saratoga, then POFQ, and then last POR.

There is three other stops that can hold you up before POR.

Can anyone help with my question about a dresser? Is there one in the bathroom area of the AB rooms or is the storage under the Murphy bed all there is?

Thanks!!!


(and for those of you going soon....I am SOOOOO jealous!!!)

That is it...and a drawer in the nightstand.

That is it...and a drawer in the nightstand.

Wow! Kinda shocked about that. Not that I mind overly much....we always live out of our suitcases, but it will cram the room a little as we are used to putting our suitcases on what was the bench in the AB rooms. We'll make due. I'd rather pay the rate for an AB room at POR than a deluxe or family suite.

Thank you very much!!!!

You can always do what others have done, and pack one of those collapsable hanging shelf units to hang form the bar in the sink area.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and will let you know if I hear anything!

I'm going to go mad waiting for December to get here though! If I had to wait until January...ugh!!
