If you are looking for a room nearest to the bridge leading to the main building, this is what you should request. It is the closest room to the bridge. Closer even then Oak manor.
Agreed. I keep trying to tell people that although Oak Manor is generally a better option if you want to state a specific building, the northern wing of Parterre actually has the very closest rooms. So it's often better to request the
feature you want ("close to main building") rather than specifying a building.
We booked a king room- I can now request preferred and have a decent shot, right? I know there are king beds in the preferred buildings, just don't remember if those are booked as preferred with king requests, or booked as king with preferred requests...thanks!
Yes, "King Bed" trumps all other categories. There are King Bed rooms in the preferred buildings, and there are king beds in rooms with river views too. All of those fall under the King Bed booking category (see the floorplan maps I created).
Just wondering if people still decorate their windows in their resort rooms?
And what about Lime Green Mickey Heads?? I don't hear much talk of these either.
You can if you want to, people tend to do so quite a bit around holiday times. I don't think you can get the LGMHs any more, they stopped giving them out at the store which did them.
Going to WDW for the first time in April. I was wondering if anyone knew how well the bus system is and about how long it will take to go to the different parks (Magic, animal kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood) from POR
See that piece of string... it's about that long.
The actual driving time is quite short (Epcot is less than 10 mins, then Studios and MK at 10-15, and finally AK at 15-20 plus a possible Blzzard Beach stop). However you need to factor in all the variables, such as whether you just miss one bus, have to wait 20 mins for another, then one goes past full, there is a wheelchair load/unload, and/or if you go around the circuit of all the other stops at the resort before getting to your destination (which can add 8-10 mins).
For the record, I've never had any major problems in many years of visiting POR, but other people have reported long waits on occasions. I guess I do tend to avoid peak travelling times though.
