When you send a fax what do you include? Is it just your name, res #, date you are staying, and requests?

There is a thread that will tell you exactly what to do.

So, we're staying at the Poly for our next trip because of an awesome deal, but our hearts are at POR. I'd like to swing a carriage ride and Yee Haw Bob night in there though. How late do buses go to MK from POR? Thinking that might be the easiest? Or should we just plan on taking a taxi back to the Poly. Any recommendations? Last time the kiddos didn't make it through Bob's show, but they really enjoyed it. TIA!

Why don't you take either the boat or bus to the village and catch the Poly bus from there?

Do the boats to down town disney run if it's raining? Even if it's a light Rain?

Yes if it's raining, but not if there is a lightening storm in the area (or very high winds).

We leave Saturday for our first trip the the world and POR!! Going to fax my request tomorrow. But wondered about hair dryers in the rooms, we are booked for a RR.

Are beds/mattresses at POR firm or soft?

How late do the boats run to Disney Springs? That seems pretty late for the kids, but another option to consider though. I think that might be our plan to take spend the afternoon/dinner at Disney Springs and then take a boat/bus to POR. Love the boat ride, it's so relaxing!

Yes, there are hair dryers. Not very powerful, in my opinion.

Yeah I agree they suck seriously. Takes a while to achieve the same with a good one you use at home.

How much is the delivery fee ? Considering having some beer and water delivered. We are only onsite for 3 nights, then getting a rental car and going to a timeshare. Not sure if its worth it or if we should try to make it out to Hess or just buy onsite ??? Advice ?

After thinking about it I realized a request is just that. If I request a mansion again I only have a 50% chance of getting it. Otherwise we end up in a ab section which will never do again. So at this point I'm not sure I can ever go back to por. We have been mansion and loved it. This trip ab...is very unsatisfying.

Why are you unhappy with AB?

 

[brekin67]

check the first page of string for answers to all your questions.

I like more current answers. Some things change throughout the years...Some things don't.

I'm curious about this as well.

Ok good to know, I guess I'll add that to my list

DH & I really enjoy the AB section - we won't stay in the mansions to us they are too stuffy. We feel there's a more relaxing atmosphere in the AB section, but we do always pay for preferred. JMHO.
