Which building should I request at POR?

[keriannhoward]

We check in Friday at POR and am wondering if I should call to request a particular building. I've got it down on my reservations that we would like the Mansion but should I call to ask for a particular building in the mansions?

I'd also like to see if they have any king beds available. It's our anniversary so I'd like to maybe upgrade to that. ARe the king beds in just one building?

Ok-I'm wayyy too geeked out over this trip.

I love POR. We went there on our honeymoon, and although we are DVC members now, it is still one of our favorites.

Oak Manor. Top Floor... River view. IMHO... the quietest and most romantic.

Kingbeds are sparse.... check in early.

King beds are an extra charge at POR, if you had booked King room and paid for it you would get it. I've done that myself quite a few times your confirmation will say king bed on it. We were there 1st week of Feb, very slow time. DH's brother & wife were travelling with us, they didn't book a king and tried to get one at check in, no luck then tried 2 days later nothing. Unless you're very, very lucky I wouldn't count on it.

We booked a king bed on our honeymoon..... STILL didn't get it.

Actually we did eventually... we had to call our travel agent at home and SHE called the frontdesk and suddenly... A King bed became available, but they wound up moving us to Alligator Bayou, which I didn't like...the only glitch in our whole trip

I think Oak Manor is closed for rehab at the moment, unfortunately. I don't know about king bed availability, but Magnolia Terrace was great as far as proximity to food court and bus depots went.

We just got back from POR and we loved it, I can't offer much help here, as we stayed in AB and not the Mansions. But I hope you have a great time on your visit, and good luck, I hope you get what you want!!!

We stayed at Magnolia Terrace for 2 days in Dec... It was great.
Ask for an upper floor, away from elevator... usually quieter.
