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

I'm right there with ya! I thought I was the only weird one about the beds.
I would have to stay in the mansions or if I did stay in the AB rooms I would have to be so beyond tired once I got back to the room so that I just would not care. LOL!

My new work wallpaper...It makes me wish I was back at POR instead of being at work.

That is a beautiful pic for a background.

Nice pic, I very much like the vignetting.

I have quite a few Port Orleans pics as my desktop backgrounds too (I use a wallpaper cycler to keep them fresh). I'm currently on a lovely night-time shot of the Boardwalk.

If anyone wants any of these for their own PC, these (and about 20 others from both POR and POFQ) are available in six desktop sizes from 800x600 to 1680x1050 via this link: http://www.portorleans.org/wallpaper.php

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!! I thought it was just me!!!
So are you saying that the beds in the mansions are different than the AB? (I'm guessing that AB means Alligator Bayou...)

Yes, Alligator Bayou and the Mansion buildings have completely different decors. Mansions are much more like French Quarter rooms.

Alligator Bayou:

Magnolia Bend (mansions):

AndreWilley said it all!
And yes AB = Alligator Bayou, the beds are just a little to rustic for me, I would be afraid at night I would bump into the beds and bang up my feet/legs or hands if I hit the headboard, I like the Mansions MUCH better.
AW is such a great source of information! Thank you AW!

AW, which Mansion has the beautiful fountain that you have for the computer wallpaper on your site? I love that one and I love the Magnolia both, not sure which one I would like best. Decisions, decisions. Wish all my decision making in life would be about such trivial, beautiful things.

The one in the photo a few postings back (the round fountain infront of the "whitehouse-style" building) is on the riverview side of Oak Manor. Most of the mansion buildings have water features of some kind though - see the Magnolia Bend section of the Gallery at my website for more photos.

Does anyone have any more pictures?

 

[Davey-D-99]

This was the view from just outside our room on the second floor of AB building #27

And a few other from four weeks ago...

 

[dogodisney]

Very nice pics Davey-D-99.

FBandA, since you trip is before mine, you'll have to take lots of pics and post them!

 

[FBandA]

I will be taking a lot of pictures, this is were I am spending a lot of my time DH just shakes his head. I can't wait to see what room I get, all I know is that we have asked for a king size bed. Hoping we get one in 18 but I know we will be happy were ever they place us. First trip for just DH and I.

 

[dogodisney]

Have a great trip!
We (I) requested a waterview so I am anxious to see what we will get.

Looking forward to your pics!
