Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part One [Thread now FULL and closed]

[Disneymaddness]

Are the buses still that bad if you are getting on it early enough to make it to RD?

Our last few trips were in July/Aug. We always went for rope drop and never had a problem with the buses.

Ok so we are on day two and I got pics and videos of the requested areas only because our little one got food poisoning from "Be Our Guest", the only thing she ate the night before and the Disney referred clinic confirms the Cornish hen was not cooked properly. So today at 3:15 am our little girl started getting sick constantly. Around 4pm she finally was able to eat some grapes and drink some power aide and keep that down. We returned to the room right after where we woke after a nap and she has now been since 12 noon no sick moments just tired. Point being avoid the Cornish hen for now. I had the strip steak and my fiancé had the same and we're fine. I am sorry I have not been on here more today but its been first priority to her and when she was settled down this morning and resting I went out and snapped the photos and vids real quick. PM me if you have more photo requests and ill see what I can do.

Oh also for future guests... If you or someone in your group is not well, they will cancel your dining and tour ressies on that circumstance alone for no charge on the same day. So if your not well they won't force you to keep your same day reservations.

I am so sorry! I feel your pain. My mom and youngest daughter had a stomach bug or food poisoning last year. It was miserable for them. My poor little girl laid her head on the table at Tusker House and ate nothing. She did stand for a few pictures. We went back to the room and let her sleep. We had had many meals at that point so who knows. It could have been something she and my mom ate or just a stomach bug. It is no fun being sick and especially at Disney World! I hope she feels better soon.

Oh no.. I am so sorry to hear that..

It's amazing.. you're having a bad situation and yet you STILL are able to give us advice...

I hope she feels better and it's not food poisoning from chicken..

Thank you all, I am up at concerige right now and POR is not, repeat not selecting my magic+ band trials. Only AKL is doing this at the moment.

Well I just bought our $800 plane tickets. At least we don't have to drive this time. Our fares kept going up and up, so I had to finally buy them before it got outrageous. It's already $100 more than it was going to be a month ago. Sheesh. I also have to call and add another day to our reservation....convinced hubby to leave on Sunday instead of Saturday! WOOHOO! 7 FULL days in the parks!

Yeah 7 days is our current park days with park hopper, we extended from our 6 day package after our little one got sick. But yeah 800 was around what we normally paid also before for airfare. Congrats on your upcoming trip!!!

Hope it clears through her system quickly and she's back to normal tomorrow.

Thanks Andre, I dropped by your old room during my videos and mentioned that god awful light outside it. I have some things to share with you once I get done with my stay.

 

[dsnydaddy]

Yes, they will be re-usable. In fact you can own as many as you like, but you'll only be able to have one of them set as your 'active' band at any given time (you'll be able to switch their status via the My Disney Experience site).

But I'm sure there's still lots more we've yet to find out.

Andre

It seems to me that the best way to make collectable bands is to make the "working" insides transferable so that you could move them from one band to another easily.

Everyone else it seems our little one is turning for the better. We just went to the food court and she ate a full meal. No sicky. Quiet night up here at he food court.

Never stayed in a disney resort (good neighbor hotels only) but booked the Port Orleans Royal room for our 1st World visit after telling the Disney Reservation lady we wanted the "Disney-ist" room possible in our budget. Very excited after seeing all the pictures! We will not be going to the park our first day (april 15) so any reccomendations on activities at or near POR?

 

[ellie'smom]

Venom,
Hope your little one feels better.

Food poisoning is horrible had it once in Italy. My girls got the stomach bug on our last night our last trip to WDW and on my youngest 1st birthday to top it off. Not fun to be there and miserable. Hopefully she will be able to sleep it off. At least it isn't summer heat which would really wipe you out. Make sure she doesn't overdo it tomorrow if she feels better, take it slow.

Oh no! It's bad enough to see your little girl sick at home, but on vacation! Sorry to hear. Sounds like she is on the upswing. Hope tomorrow brings a well rested, happy girl!
