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

[DJ Disney Kid]

Good morning all .....

Everyone has been so kind sharing info with me, I wanted to give something back.....

I'm headed to POR THURSDAY!!! Is there anything specific you want to know? Is there anything you want a picture of that hasn't been posted yet or want to see a recent photo?

I should have some time one day while our band kids participate in a 2-3 workshop to roam the resort and check things out!!!

Just let me know!

I won't be bringing my laptop as I have too many other things to keep up with on this trip (and it will be my first without my DH to help me carry things!!). So I'll post reviews/pics after we get back next week.

I would love to see more of the Mansions at POR. It seems everyone has AB pics. And maybe some of the inside of the food court and the bus stops. But anything is appreciated!

I agree I love these picks and think they are just as addictive as the food pics but I would love to see more mansion pics. If anyone has Oak Manor or Magnolia Terrace especially as those are the ones I am thinking of trying to get that would be great. Both outside pics and inside if you have them.

I am looking for magnolia Terrace pics as well.

I want to make sure I don't miss the show in river roost again. I know somewhere in the disboards is the website for his list of shows, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what it is?

"Ye Haa" Bob Jackson hosts a very popular piano sing-along comedy show with lots of audience participation each night at about 8.30pm from Wednesday through to Saturday. He's been performing at POR since May 1997, see his website for more info: http://www.yehaabob.com.

Give some of these a try. I can't seem to link them directly here for some reason, otherwise I'd just add them to the thread: http://www.portorleans.org/?gallery

I'll try again to include a picture, but I think the forum software's tag system doesn't like the fact that links from my gallery do not have a normal .jpg extension. Click on it and it will load though.

Any idea where we're likely to be housed? Aligator Bayou or Magnolia? Family of two adults and one teenager. Most of the info seems to say they keep Aligator for larger families, but our booking say two double and a trundle bed.
Anyone know where we are likely to be?

 

[andrewilley]

With a party of three you could easily be in either section, but if you've specially requested a trundle bed (and if you get your request met, of course) then those are only found to be in the Alligator Bayou section.

One of the best times we have had was "dinner" at the Roost with Bob. Our kids had a great time singing and dancing. I even got to do the bunny hop with my Tween daughter (and lots of others) and she wasn't crawling under a table We had good finger foods (nachos, wings and such) and adult and child beverages. One of our best evenings. DH has already said that he wants to do this again our first night as we will be checking in midday and don't want to hit a park until the morning.
We will be checking in May 29th and there until June 5th. Anyone else going to be there then? Wouldn't it be fun to have a DIS night at the Roost

Isn't Bob's show the best!!! It's a Disney 'Must-Do' for us too. We'd love to join you for a DIS night at the Roost - but unfortunately, we won't be there until November. Hope you have a GREAT time!

Sorry to keep going on this, but the bob jackson website says he performs from 8.30 to midnight. do we have to be there the whole time or can i show up half way through?

You can show up whenever but you may not have a seat.

 

[monica31671]

Can anyone compare the slide at CSR and the slide at POR? My kids don't care what we do, where we eat, as long as the pool has a great slide.

I found a picture with the slide in it!!!! It's on the left.

Just wanted to thank everyone for this wonderful thread and for the great pictures.

DH and I are looking forward to taking DD and DS pole fishing.

Sorry, I should have this somewhere but...

nyone know if there is a fee for the trundle?

I believe its an extra $15 a night for the 5th person who uses the trundle.

 

[klj27]

we have never had to pay extra for the fifth person. If there is a fee I would think it is only if you have five adults.

Thanks. There are actually just the four of us; two adults and the kids. I was just thinking, if there's a trundle in the room, that would be really good for them to sleep one in the bed and one in the trundle.

 

[andrewilley]

The $15 charge is for additional adults after the first two (which always annoys me - what the heck incremental cost is there to Disney of having three adults, rather than two adults and two/three kids, in your hired room?!?!)

Trundle beds are normally provided in ALL Alligator Bayou rooms (has anyone ever NOT had one?) but do remember that you are not guaranteed to get a room in the AB section of the resort.

Andre, love your website.

Question, what happens if you can't get a room with a trundle bed? We are staying at POR during Free Dining and I requested a room w/ a trundle because there are 5 of us.

This forum is so great! I was already excited about our trip but now after reading and seeing all the pics, I feel like a kid waiting for Santa to come.

If you have 5 people listed on your reservation you a pretty much guaranteed a room in the Alligator Bayou section. If by chance the resort is booked to capacity and you are placed in the Mansions, they will provide you with a roll-away. But that rarely happens.

 

[dogodisney]

Thank you for your response. I wasn't sure about roll aways. I never seen anything about them on the Disney website, just the trundles.
