What do you think about storage space at POR?

[LovingDisney2012]

I am not a light packer by any means and my family will be at WDW for 9 days (there will be 4 of us). What I would like to know is:

1. Is there enough storage space in the RGRs at POR for 1 large suitcase and 3 max carry-on size suitcases to be stored out of the way (I don't want to be tripping over them)?

2. Should I bring hangers, or are there enough in the closet space?

3. Is there much room in the dresser?

Thanks!

We stayed there in 2009. There were 5 of us and had plenty of space. We do not overpack though. We each had a full carryon and "personal item" like a tote or backpack. We kept the suitcases in the "closet" area after we unpacked and never had any issues.

I would bring hangers, there were only a few in the closet. I want to say there were only three drawers in the dresser, but they were large. There was one for each of us.

We had plenty of room to put our luggage.

Since the refurbishment the amount if storage has changed. You may want to check the POR thread for details. I plan on bringing one of the hanging shelf organizers that fits on a closet rail. In the past I've always lived out of the suitcase, but this is our first family trip so there is more "stuff." I'm mailing a box ahead of time with toiletries, food, and supplies.

We stayed there last year. Lots of room in the closet area for the suitcases. Make sure you bring hangers since you'll have a lot of stuff and with 4 of you, the drawer space may seem a little limited and you may need to maximize your closet space with extra hangers.

Can't you just ask Housekeeping for as many hangers as you will need??

If you post this on the Resorts Board, you will get more answers. This is for Theme Parks.

Dont bring hangers just call housekeeping and tell them how many you need..... i usually have to ask for 20 of them or more for a family of 5...

You are asking specificually about Royal Guest Rooms based on the answers you are getting most people missed that part.

Maybe try the resorts board or the FAQ for Port Orleans for more detailed info. We have not stayed in Royal rooms so I can't answer your question.

Just moving this from Theme Parks to the Resort board

I would think you could ask for extra hangers, no?

We stayed there in March and the dresser drawers were pretty deep so they held more then we thought. I like to put the smaller suitcases into our big one and then I put it between the bed and the wall(snug fit) by the headboard. Not only is it out of the way, we also use it as a small table (kleenex, watch, cell...). We drive, so we take more than we really need, so we do bring a closet organizer and hang it in the closet. I would just request additional hangers once you are there and not bring any. We bring a garment bag so we have plenty. We had plenty of room and we had a sit-n-Stand stroller in the room

Thanks for that info. We packed a bunch of hangers on our last trip, it never even occurred to me to call and ask for more.

We always store the suitcases under the beds for more room. Definitely ask for more hangers - there was just two of us and we didn't have enough. We had more than enough room in the dresser for two of us. We were not in RGR but in another mansion room, and the storage is similar.
