These photos are amazing! I am running in the Princess 1/2 and am staying here Feb. 22-27. I am so so excited! I have a standard room (garden view) booked. Can't wait to see this resort myself. Just gorgeous!

The official POR thread on the resort boards and portorleans.org now has pics of the AB side of the refurb with the new murphy bed.

AB new rooms with Murphy Beds seem to be a mish mash of styles.

Those pics of the refurbbed room are just regular, standard rooms in the mansions? They are beautiful!

Does anyone know if they are all finished?

Great pics. I love the um.... past guests? exiting out of the building.

I thought the same thing...why is no one commenting on that? Maybe Halloween costumes?

I didn't even notice them until I looked at my pictures later on. GREAT costumes

The refurbs continue until next summer; you can check out the schedule on portorleans.org or the official POR thread under the resorts board.

Bump!

I've never thought about sitting around a campfire while at Disney but this picture makes it look tempting!

Lovely picture, Andre! I'll be there in 2 days. Maybe I don't want to visit the Parks. I'll just hang out here!

so is that that the "trundle"?? just a mattress on the floor?

Can a teenager fit on the trundle? My daughter is 15. She is 4'11. I can't tell from the picture.

My husband (6' tall) fit...kinda. At least that is where he slept when dd wouldn't have any more "sleeping on the floor with the bugs". However, aren't they doing away with the trundle...it is now a murphy bed sort of thing below the TV? At least in the refurbished rooms?

I was wondering that as well, if the murphy bed is the same size as the old trundle. DOes anyone know?

I think "kinda" is the operating word here. I am 5'2 and it was uncomfortable for me. Your husband is a kind man to say that he could sleep on there. I bet he absolutely hated it. I hated smelling the floor...

I love him...but honestly he is not the most "you first" sort of guys. Believe me, if he was not comfortable there he would not have slept there. He is thin though... and I think that made it a bit easier to fit onto the narrow mattress. I am with you though... YUK on smelling the floor.

I Believe me, if he was not comfortable there he would not have slept there.

And there's also the factor that after a day walking around WDW, most people could probably sleep on a bed of rocks!
