Staying at Riverside : Show me pics, get me excited!!

[disneymom727]

we loved POR

Quick question, is this a deep or shallow part of the pool? Just trying to figure out if my son will be able to play in this part or not. He is still a new swimmer. Thanks.

Also, I love the pictures. I've keep calling to see if we can get a room at POFQ instead since we're familiar with it and love it there. However your pictures made me think maybe I shouldn't. I am curious about the fishing too. Did you bring your own poles or are they there to rent? Something else I know DS would love to try with his dad. Thanks again.

That section (with the island in the middle) is the deep part. Off to the left is the shallower stepped entry area, and there's also a seperate kiddie pool which is only a foot or so deep.

the pool question was answered, so here is the fishing one:
we rented the cane poles at the fishing hole. just a little bit from the pool. the boys loved it! it was all catch and release.

Thanks. I went back and looked at the fishing poles after I asked the question and could tell they were most likely rentals. I guess I should have paid closer attention before I asked. Good to know about the pool too. Thanks to you both.

We just got back from POR as well. Loved it!!!

Well I have just switched from CSR (our usual) to POR thanks to this thread. I hope I made a good decision. The resort seems so pretty.

Believe me, if you view your trip to WDW as a vacation, you have made the right decision. You'll be wanting to spend time at POR rather than dash off to the parks every waking minute

Congratulations

Great slideshow! Your DS9 is very talented to do such a great you tube video and great music! We stayed there in October 2007, and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED POR!!! Definitely one of our favorite resorts now! Thanks for sharing and bringing back so many great memories of our visit from a year ago!

Tell him that he did a wonderful job. I really enjoyed it. Watching it made me more excited about my upcoming trip! Everytime I need a little fix, I will watch his slideshow.

Thanks...He is proud of it. He has been obsessed lately with YouTube videos of Disney. I think it's helping him get over the WDW withdrawl. We had such a wonderful 1st WDW vacation in May, I've lost count of how many times my kids have asked...

"Dad, when do think we will go again? What resort do think we will stay at when we go again? Can we stay at POR when we go back to WDW? Dad, can't you wait to ride EE and ToT again? Are we going next year again? Do we have to wait like 3 years to go back? Can we go in 2010 maybe?"

Davey-D-99- Your children sound like me asking my DH when we can go back again. I have all kinds of reasons why we should go back, but the checkbook says other wise. Gotta love Disney. Thanks for sharing DS video

[supersuperwendy]

[FBandA]

Just back and posting some of my pictures

Room 1756

View outside door looking over at Building 28

Views around Building 17

This was the room 1716 DH did not want it is right next to the quiet pool he felt we would have to many people walking by. They had no problem changing our room.

We are going home and the rain came down and down and down.
