I've stayed at most all of the resorts at WDW, and I still like staying at POR every so often. I like the Bayou rooms much better than the Mansions. From the Bayou, you are close to the parking lot, the pool, the gift shop and the food!
We usually spend our nites at the Beach Club Villas, our home. I suggest that you keep your reservation at the POR, but request the Bayou rooms.
Congratulations!
