Positive POR Experiences???

[mbaker1277]

As I was the one voice of dessention in an earlier post I would like to point out that I am not hard to please, nor do I go into the situation looking for the worst to happen. I am a travel agent by business, so I am required to travel alot and I stay in many hotel room throught the year. As I stated before, this visit to POR was the ONLY problem in over 35 visits in the past 11 years. We have stayed in all of the value, moderate, and most of the deluxes. I would definately overlook a spot on the carpet or dust in the room (Because who doesn't have this in their house?}, but the overall cleanliness of this particular room was uncalled for.
We do love this resort for its beautiful grounds, quaint theming, and a wonerful food court. I think that once the renovations are done that it will be a top notch resort. Most of the reports I have heard came from problems in the Bayou rooms, where ours was. I think the best thing to do is to ask for a renovated room. I still think you will have a wonderful vacation, and that you have chosen a great resort!

Thanks everybody! Your positive outlooks on POR and vacations in general have got me back on track to enjoy the planning and anticipation for our Feb. trip. I just found out yesterday that our SOG reservations will be switched to POR. I was going to post a request for good news from POR, but you have covered it for me. From now on I'm only going to look for the positives. I may have to change my name to "POR Pollyanna"!

We have stayed in Alligator B. twice, one good stay one bad. Bottom line, every hotel has a few bad rooms. The secret is if you get one, speak up and get moved. Then get on with enjoying the rest of your vacation. For a moderate POR is great. Better pool than some of the Deluxes, relatively quiet rooms, quiet grounds, and the food court allows you to get well balanced meals for the family.
Have fun

Just bumping this up for displaced Soggers like myself. We need all the good news we can get!

We stayed at the POR last Thanksgiving in AB building 27. We really liked it alot. The grounds are lovely and the kids had a great time at the pool. The boat to DTD is really nice. It would have been even nicer if it had been a little warmer. The previous year at Thanksgiving was better. The food court is good. My kids loved the trundle bed. They ended up alternating nights.

I had a hard time this year deciding which moderate to select (CBR or POR). We like them both, but we ended up at the CBR. Now that the kids are into the pirates of the caribbean, it ended up being the right choice.

Only4 weeks to go!
