Port Orleans--Riverside, Queen or Double beds?

[postesf]

I'm confused... Does Port Orleans/Riverside have Queen or Double beds? I keep seeing "Queen/Double" when describing them...

Anyone know for sure? Trying to find out for one of my clients.

Thanks!

POR currently has both queens and doubles.

The POR thread does have a refurbishment schedule posted on the first page with the eventual conversion to all queen beds. The Royal Guest Rooms do all have the queen beds, and according to the WDW booking site, the Garden View rooms are described as having the queens.


From the POR thread:

Room Refurbishments, 2011/2012 (Information updated November 2011)

A resort-wide room refurbishment program commenced on 26 June 2011, which should hopefully be complete by August 2012. The project started with Acadian House and Magnolia Terrace, which are both now complete, and work is currently underway on the first four Alligator Bayou lodges (36-39). Two of these (36 and 37) were re-opened during November, and the other two are due to open on 9 and 16 December.

In early 2012, all 512 of the rooms in Oak Manor and Parterre Place will get the new Royal Room treatment (with Oak due to re-open on 17 February and Parterre on 23 March). Note: these are the only sections of Port Orleans that will be getting Royal Rooms.

Finally, the remainder of Alligator Bayou will be completed over the following four/five months. To minimise disruption, only one building will be down at a time, although there may be a slight overlap period in some cases.

The newly refitted rooms include Queen size beds to replace the old doubles, flat-screen TVs, and completely updated furnishings, fittings, carpets, etc.

One thing to be aware of; it is just new queen mattresses. The frames and boxsprings stayed the same; the mattress overlaps by three inches on either side.

I was just in a refurbed room the week after Thanksgiving.

It is somewhat awkward, especially in room with connecting doors like we had, because the mattress overlapped the door by about a half inch. You had to open the door around the mattress.

At this point, some rooms still have double and the refurbed rooms have queen.

They must have to adjust the furniture layout in this room? We had connecting rooms in August in the rehab section and did not have a problem with the door getting in the way
