Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread - Royally Refurbished for 2011

One of the things I enjoy the most when I go to DW is the transportation. The car can sit in one spot for a very long time while I enjoy transportation that's included in my hotel room charge. Also, nothing beats hearing the announcements on the bus such as CBR when it tells you your area.

Or the monorail....

"Please stand clear of the doors."

Lets not start this, lol. Ill tell your husband. lol. I do what I want, I offer to do more.

all the things I could say...but we're not starting this.

Well I have just read this whole thread from start to finish throughout the day and I am more excited than ever about our forthcoming trip in Feb 12. It will be our first onsite stay (2 offsite stays before), the DS first trip and the DH will have just returned from a 7 month tour in Afghanistan so we are really looking forward to spending 2 weeks in the magic of WDW. I have always fancied the look of the Mansion Bldgs over the AB ones so I shall be putting in a request for Magnolia or Acadian.

Thanks for all the info guys, I really have got some fantastic tips from here!My DB, SIL and DN are currently in Orlando but staying offsite so am really looking forward to hearing all about their trip - rest assured they will be hearing all about mine wether they want to or not - lol!!!

Enjoy your trips everyone!

Yeah I do as much as I can for her and the little one. So yeah I agree it wouldn't be much of a fight. lol.

But she deserves it. But she has no problem explorering with me. So we get a drink while we are walking around. I am the one carrying all the stuff around in my backpack so she doesn't have to.

Has anyone seen this:

Oops! Thanks for reminding me, Venomhatch! My husband will be the one carrying all the mugs AND wearing the backpack!

Ha damn I opened my mouth and got another guy in trouble lol. I don't mind. It makes everyone's time there more enjoyable so I do it. Yeah the mugs end up in my bag at the mid point of the day.

Aww.. you're sweet! How can I pick on you now!? We like to explore together also and mine is the other one carrying everything on his back. I'm ashamed to say my 10 year old daughter has really caught on to Daddy's generosity.

My fav is the busses though. "Please watch your step as you exit the bus and take small children by the hand."

Yeah well our little one has also. She say's she will carry what she takes but it ends up in my bag before too long.

Mine too!

My husband and I really enjoy not having to drive. In a nine day trip if I have to wait longer than 15 min a couple of times, it won't bother me. Now, if that were the norm, I would not be happy. But for us so far no worries. I am knocking on wood here! couldn't find a smiley for that. LOL

 

[LovingDisny]

Love it!

lol...

Just booked our first visit to POR for April 9-14! Requested Magnolia Terrace 1st or 3rd floor King Bed. CSM also noted our DD first birthday and first visit so she'll get pins! Cannot wait!

My DH ALWAYS thinks it's hilarious to take me by the hand when this announcement is made. LOL!!!

Ohh about the other "Please stand clear" message from the Monorail, I have that as my message tone on my droid phone.

I just saw Andre's pictures of the refurb rooms! I think they look great and I love the flat screen t.v. My hubby and I will love the Queen sized beds. The standard ones were a little cramped
