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

Does anyone have a picture of the dresser drawers when open? I usually put as much stuff as possible in the dresser. With 5 people that's a lot of clothes! Wondering if I need to bring extra hangers or an under bed storage container. Also, how many drawers are there? It looked like three.

Leaving in 9 days!!!

I don't have pictures but there is NOT a lot of drawer space. Being hangers and there is also no way of getting anything under the bed.

We lived out of the suitcases and for this trip bought my kids new, separate bags of their own.

Yeah I leave my stuff in the suitcases after what happened to us last trip.

Thanks for the info on the dresser drawers! We usually bring wire hangers, but will pack a bunch more this time. And also thanks on info for the space under the bed. Used to be spacious! Thanks goodness for the closet

Yikes! Hope we don't have any "guests" while we're there. On a brighter note, I did enjoy the pics of POR ~ I can't wait for our trip!

Mousekeeping will bring you extra hangers.

Omg! I think I would have flipped out. I hate all bugs, but I couldn't even handle that. I hope we don't come across this problem when we're there in Nov!

I believe they realized a lapse in preventative maintenance and worked it out. From what I hear now they are fine.

Venom, I am glad to hear that they seem to have worked things out. However, out of curiosity, what type of room were you in? We are booked in a RGR River view which makes me think that being closer to the water may attract some little critters. Eeek!! Or, maybe not!!

We had the exact same reservation but requested second floor corner room. But I have been assured many of times it has since been rectified. All I say is check everywhere before unpacking and settling in.

Could anyone tell me the dimensions of the window?? Need it for decorating
TIA

Hi everyone! Checked in on Tuesday. This is our first stay at POR and it is beautiful! The fridge was not working but there was no note saying that. I would have never even thought to check if it wasn't for these boards. DH called the front desk to see if there was one available because DS has antibiotics that refrigeration is "recommended". They said they would send a medical fridge up while we went to the parks and they would put the medicine in the fridge. We got back late and it wasn't there. We decided not to worry about it since the meds can technically be at room temp. We paid for a garden view. We certainly see a great deal of parking lot from our view. I have to assume it is the last in the category in our hall. We are in room 8780 magnolia bend. I don't care because we only got garden due to availability, however, DH mentioned it while on the phone about the fridge and they immediately offered to move us or refund the difference between garden and standard. I thought that was very nice and we took the refund. The only other issue I would say is that the bridge is out that is right next to our building but it should be functioning on Friday. The busses have been fantastic, the beds comfy and we enjoyed the food court for lunch yesterday. Going to Boatwrights tonight. Having a great time!

I don't think it's water, these were more than likely stowaways brought there by guests or on equipment. They are very hard to eradicate in any occupied building because they like the same accommodations that people do. I'll keep a watchful eye when we get there. A dead giveaway is little feces or skid marks in drawers. Beware.

I was just able to log on to My Disney Experience on the website and make fastpass+ reservations. We are arriving at POR on September 14! I was not able to order magic bands yet, just the fastpasses.
