Dinning reservations opened up today so got on the ball this trip and made them all today. I'm just so excited to see Port Orleans for the first time.

Venom I looked for you a couple of times, sorry to have missed you!

LOL, I've tried to meet up with Venom on two or three trips now, including several visits over to the Poly for meals, and never managed to succeed.

Has anyone actually seen him in real life, or is he perhaps some virtual intelligence simulation program, a la Tron?

New "Items to Bring" Thread is now up: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=50696062#post50696062

*Hey Andre maybe we should add this to the main posts of each of these threads you start?

Not really a POR-specific sort of list (other than maybe hanging racks for AB rooms) so I'll leave it for general forum threads where it belongs.

And my eyesight is still OK for reading ordinary text, but thanks for the thought anyway...

I know I know I was just messing with you. Lol. Andre after what I went through I will never use the Drawers provided in the rooms ever! So That is why I suggested this for all of POR, and POFQ.

I have added the list of odd ball items to my signature so if anyone needs to have some ideas for other items to bring with you on your stay then check out the list here also: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3234490

I'm beginning to wonder

I've got a hanging organiser, but I'm really not sure for two adults we need a pop up hamper rather than just a laundry bag?

I can see with a family holiday it would make it easier for the kids to put their washing away, but there's only two of us and we're both pretty neat

There are usually just 2 of us, and I use the plastic laundry bag in the room that's provided (meant for sending out your laundry )

Tron wow Way to think Disney of Andre huh.

I am a real person though. I am just busy. Then making decisions about the next step in my evolution with Disney has me running more than ever.

Tell you what in a few moments I will edit this post with a picture and hint if you can find me what I am wearing when I walk around there either at POR or Poly!

Hint:

 

[Venomhatch]

If you notice the admin CMs wear Kukui Nut Necklaces well that is mine a guest brought it back from Hawaii and I started wearing that one instead.

~Not that I have prove I am real lol.

Thanks for the hint! I'll look for you in 13 days

I am the only one with this color and shell combination so it shouldn't be hard.

But back to POR Discussion lol. Sorry Andre, Ill get it back on track.

Ah ha, now that could just be a simulated image of a necklace, generated on The Grid...



I'll keep my eyes open for you next time I'm around the Poly (unless you have moved on to bigger and better things by then of course)


And this, folks, is why we're getting closer and closer to that 250 page limit again.

If the buses start running an hour before park opening, what is the best way to get to an early morning ADR (8am ADR with 9am park opening)? Or is it an hour before the early ADRs that they start running? (i.e. 7am)

How feasible is it to go back to the resort during the afternoons for breaks? We would be relying on the buses...

Venom your necklace is gorgeous!!! Love it.

From my personal experience, I wasn't able to get to the parks at rope drop, so by the time I got to the parks and had lunch, I wasn't successful of leaving in the early afternoon. Depending on which park, it could work. I think the ride from MK was like 10 minutes to POR, so if you hit the right bus, its feasible, but that would depend on your energy and those you are with.
My vacation was short and a resting vacation, so I took the advantage of sleeping until I was ready to move and moved slow. But I was alone too.
If you can get there for Rope drop and your evening park is open late, I would definitely try to discipline yourself to go take that nap or at least pool side off your feet.


So happy for those of you leaving soon and getting out of this snow and cold.

We have done breaks like you say. Just have to plan around your meals so that you don't cut yourself too short to get to your next dining.

Thanks I told them to surprise me. I love it.

Buses start rolling at 6:30AM for early morning ADRs. Whenever we've had an 8AM ADR, we are at the bus stop between 6:30-6:45 and have never missed one yet.
