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

Have two room reservations with free dining for October 22-29. Made two room only reservations for October 20-22. I paid a deposit for both room only reservations...or so I thought. I received my credit card statement last week and even though the two room only reservations were made at the same time and a credit card was given to secure the deposit on both rooms, only 1 room deposit was charged. Our second room went back into inventory and now the entire resort is sold out. I check daily to try to find a room but no luck in the last week. Any advice? Is there a discussion thread that I can check for people cancelling their reservations? If I exlain the situation to Disney, will they help me find a room?

Thanks for the helpful advice. I'm sick over this mistake. When I called Disney last week, the CM was able to pull up the "expired", room only reservation. I have the reservation numbers for all 4 reservations and there is a notation on the reservation to link them and requesting adjoining rooms and not to switch rooms so I think those facts will also help.

Call and ask for help. If they can't help, ask for a supervisor. Keep working your way up. Hope you get it back!!!

The what do you do? Rest and relax? WEIRD

I know, such a strange idea!

We have booked a waterview room. Is it possible that even though it's just 2 adults and 2 kids that we may still end up in AB?

Very possible, yes. There are twice as many AB rooms as there are regular mansion building rooms. Put in a request for the section you prefer though.

In case anyone is around the resort tonight, we're going to be at Boatwrights for 7pm and probably wander over to the River Roost lounge afterwards. Come and say Hi (I've got a blue-ish muppet 'Beaker' tee-shirt on, and usually carrying a big camera bag). PM me if you want, I'll get an email notification and will check my phone every so often.

Wish I could join you. Very busy!!!

Missytara: Can't seem to PM you, but a while back you asked us to say hi to your favourite bar staff at POR, but I can't remember who and can't find the message now. What/who should I say? (writing this in Boatwrights )

I love "Frodays", they put regular Fridays to shame!

I can't tell you how much I laughed at "Froday"

At least the two letters are side by side!

Hi all, DH and I are staying at Por in november and were wondering if football would be on at the river roost lounge on sunday afternoon. I noticed on all ears that the lounge does'nt open untill 5:00 and the game is on at 1:00. If not does anyone know a good place to watch except espn( not waiting over an hour to get in) btw game is on cbs local channel if that matters

Has anyone used the refillable pods in the cuisianart coffee maker? If so which ones worked for you?

We stayed in POR Alligator Bayou Building 14 (preferred building) back in January -- it was a 2 minute walk to the Main Building. I think the farthest walk at Alligator Bayou was less than 10 minutes from the Main Building. The Mansions are probably a 10-12 minute walk to Main Building and if I rememeber correctly, there are 4 bus stops, so there is very little walking for them.

Magnolia is super quick - just over the bridge after the main pool. I can't tell you how many times I walked back and forth just to fill a mug. Way Way Way less than 10-12 min. 5 min. at a stroll, I would say. It's an awesome location. Own quiet pool too. We stayed in garden, around the back side looking in at the back staircase. Close to our car too, but could not see it.

 

[DJFan88]

Oh, and the laundry was so close for us,, as well. Can't say enough about that area. We were on the left side though, if approaching from the bridge. So basically, right in front of the bridge but toward the back. I think that side may all be the 87 numbers, like 8707, etc.,

Agreed

Yeah points for that!!!

And that's ALL I'll get!
Not that I'm looking for any slack. If you can't laugh at your own foul ups, who can you laugh at? (Besides OTHER peoples fouls ups that is!)

I have a pod coffee maker at he and buy from amazon all the time. I love the Baronette Cinnamon Hazelnut the best and the Baronette brand is a good one. I plan on trying one of the Wolfgang Puck's Espresso Roast next!
