I have my POR dates booked and have added my ADR's but I didn't add any tickets at the time I set it up. How do I go back and add tickets so that I have a Package instead of Room Only?

You can't just add tickets. You have to cancel the room only and book a package. It would be best to call and have a CM do it for you rather than try to do it online. They will refund your deposit for the room only reservation and collect the $200 deposit for the package.

Will my ADR's also be cancelled when I cancel the Room Only reservation? I don't have a Dining Plan - just individual ADR's.

Thanks for your help

You can purchase tickets from Disney online and link them to your room reservation and ADRs on My Disney Experience. Unless there is a package that offers a discount on tickets and room you don't need to cancel your room only reservation and rebook as a package.

the other night, I was at a staff appreciation night for where I work. The theme was Mardi Gras, but the music that played all night made me feel like POR! It made me happy, because I kept thinking to myself..."It won't be long until we are home"

POR is our favorite resort and we are planning on a trip to WDW over Christmas. We are now a family of 6, so I was wondering, if the 6th person is under 3, do they allow 6 in an AB room? I know it would be tight, Im not worried about that as all we would be doing there is sleeping and showering.

Thanks!

I'm going to be staying at POR in mid June with family. We have 3 rooms booked and linked already. We have a fully accessible room, a pool view, and a Royal room all booked. Do we have any chance of being somewhat near each other? I realize that the family in the Royal room will be on their own since they are a different booking category and will be in either Oak or Parterre.

Yes, that's fine. As you say, a tight fit, but perfectly OK to book five persons plus an infant.

If the two regular rooms are located in Magnolia Terrace and the Royal Room is in Oak Manor they need not be too far apart, a couple of minutes walk maybe. But make sure Disney is aware that your reservations are linked and that you would like to be as close together as possible.

Reading this thread a few pages back someone mentioned the Oak building was having repairs carried out. Has this now been completed?

No, should be done by mid July. From mid-May they will be working on the parking lot side of the building.

Looks like you had a great visit and Mousekeeping took care of you all? Nice photo story!

The mouse keeper was very nice. We left her tip envelopes every day. She was very gracious about receiving them. I know the towel animals aren't the norm. I was so happy to get them.

No, your ADRs will not be cancelled when you cancel a room reservation so if you don't plan on making it to those ADRs make sure you contact Disney to cancel them or you will be charged.

Sadly if the FD rumors are true, we will be switching resorts . After all the research and actually just deciding to move up to a royal room, we will be switching. I really don't want to but can't justify saving almost $2000 for 6 of us to stay without FD.

Me too. My kids and I really wanted a royal room but the FD discount works better for us even if they offer a room discount. I am sad this is one of my favorite hotels.

We've never been, so first trip, maybe next time, was so excited about RR, our girls don't know we are going!

 

[MomTo3PrincessesInNJ]

We're so sad that we can't go back to POR! With the FD offer we had to book at Coronado.

I know we'll be spending one of our non-park days at POR, though -- my 5 year old still hasn't stopped talking about fishing in Disney World!
