I stayed in one and those rooms seemed to be the furthest from anywhere. While it was cool to see all the decor and the headboards with the fireworks, I won't be doing it again.
The rooms are very pretty when we stayed there they just opened the RR's. so it way nice to think that not many ppl stayed in the room b4 us. But I would not stay there again. They can be very far way from everything. At least our was we were pretty much in the FQ. Lol it's nice to say we stayed there. My daughter was 5 at the time and she could have cared less about the room.
I probably wouldn't with three boys. Even though it's fairly gender neutral, I doubt boys would get the subtle princess movie references in the room.
We have always stayed in a standard room at POR and have no issues. Plus, royal rooms are pretty far from the main pool and the main building. I would say save the money and switch to standard.
