We Didn't Like POR- My Resort Review

[jaguar9748]

I'm sorry that POR did not live up to your expectations. That's the great thing about Disney - there are so many resorts to choose from. Riverside is one of our all time favorite resorts for many different reasons. It's a little like home!

Our stay at POR in May was the first time we hadn't stayed at WL/VWL/SSR. Our expectation was that we'd feel let-down, that it would feel very much sub-par to the other WDW resorts we'd stayed at. As it turns out, we actually loved POR...more than SSR, classified as a Deluxe. We were in Acadian House and, maybe we're in the minority, but I thought the walk to the main buildings was short and scenic...I looked forward to it! The room seemed like it had just been renovated. the grounds were beautiful. The main reason we haven't tried a Value yet is because DH is prone to migraines and, from just about everything I've read here for those who DO like to spend time at the resort itself, the Values are NOT relaxing...fun and colorful, etc., but not quiet and restful.
Really, since we live in the South, my only complaint was that it didn't seem too different from the area we live in. Next May, we're going to try CBR for the first time for the Caribbean theme.
Sorry you didn't like POR, but I guess that's why WDW has so many options for all its guests...

Sorry you did not like POR. We stayed last year in alligator bayou and loved it. The rooms are bigger. The fridge was wonderful. I did not have to make as many trips to the ice machine.With the addition of the trundle bed we were able to sleep 5 in the room instead of the usual 4. Best of all, our luggage was delivered to our room. In my opinion POR is well worth the extra money.

We stayed at POR in October and loved it. We did visit the Poly and my six year old is dying to stay there so maybe next time....but I would be very happy with POR again. Loved the boatride to DTD, loved the pool and the food court
