I'm so sorry things have not gone the best for you! 
I really hope they get better!
Have a wonderful, magical time! You are doing the right thing by studying the Disboards like you are! The very best way to have a wonderful trip to Disney is to be informed and prepared and it sounds like you are doing just that! Just a small bit of advice....you are gonna want to run like crazy to get everything in but be careful that you go slow enough to enjoy it! You can always go back! And this advice is coming from someone who likes to go, go, go! My family though, does not always agree with me. 
Gorechick said:Andre is extremely friendly and thoroughly charming! We had a very pleasant conversation and I <3 the accent. Hoping to meet up again before we leave.

My oldest will turn 5 while we are there also. I am so glad we chose POR, it really seem like it will be a great fit for us. I'm just crazy excited and I'm so glad I'm not the only adult who gets this way.

I'm also thinking I should have a couple more kids so I can plan more 5th, 10th and 15th birthday trips.
TandLMommy28 said:I'm trying to convince hubby that we need to go every year one of the kids turns a multiple of 5. We went for the oldest's fifth and now the youngest's fifth birthday trip is next month I'm mentally planning their respective 10th birthday trips.

We had a blast on our last trip, so we are doing Girls Trip # 2
I'm really trying hard to get excited about staying at CSR but I just had my heart set on POR. The worst part, no double sinks. 
I can't believe they booked up the military discounted rooms so fast. I've been told to keep trying to see if anything becomes available but wonder how likely that really is.GraceMonica said:

So glad it worked out. They (and pretty much all other customer service entities world wide) rely on people believing their first answer, or being too intimidated to pursue it further.
The part about no refund is absolutely unacceptable. Glad you kept asking!
Makes you wonder WHOSE room they gave you??? Do they set aside a tiny portion of rooms for "emergencies"?
Anyway, you'll have to update us on how it all worked out. If you show up and they DON'T give you your preferred room, tell them the whole story and "offer" to become their bff and shadow until it is resolved.
