    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    I’d ask for ground floor. After that you won’t have too many pool view options for the Royal rooms (they’ll all face the leisure pool between blocks 90 & 95). You’ll be fine with all of them IMO

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    We were near the back of Acadian house and it was less than 5 minute stroll to the main pool. It was about 15 minutes stroll to the pool at POFQ Honestly I’d read reports on here that made out like it would be 30 minutes walk to the pool or food court but, for the mansions at least, everything...

    Assuming this isn’t an injoke I’ve missed, if they say Mediterranean it’ll be the French or the Italian riviera (which are linked). The word itself is Italian.

    Replacing the Rocking roller coaster with Monster Inc ride

    I think some people are overthinking the Aerosmith connection. My 8 year old rode this for the first time and loved the ride. She didn’t know the band and thought they were made up specifically for the ride (in the same way she knew the Hollywood Tower Hotel wasn’t really a hotel before the...

    DHS bus drop off 20 min walk!?

    I genuinely can’t believe some of the replies here. People thinking of cancelling park days over a 10 minute walk from their bus stop?! We went a few times this week from POR. I timed it once. Took 8 minutes strolling with an 8 year old. Not an issue at all

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    On the issue of dogs I only saw 2 in my two weeks there and they were just as we were leaving (a couple with 2 dogs and luggage opening their room in building 80 for the first time). None at all elsewhere

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Just back from 2 weeks in POR so thought I’d give some thoughts. It was our first stay in WDW and our second stay in Orlando We stayed in room 8041. I had asked for a corner room and got it. This was first floor. I really do think the extra natural light helps. We were 1 min walk from north...

    News Round Up 2018

    Just on the shop app. International users couldn’t download that previously (on IOS) as only available in the US iTunes. So having it on MDE now is a help. My wife was able to find a specific t shirt she was looking for

    Dublin Airport US Pre-clearance

    There’s a little bit of confusion here 1) all passengers at Dublin airport go through security checks. This is pretty much the standard checks at every european airport. There is no need to take off shoes. This is where your hand luggage is scanned and your pass through the metal detectors etc...

    Everthing you wanted to know about Uber/Lyft at WDW

    WiFi only user here. Definitely no trouble outside hotels. Outside the parks the only ‘iffy’ place we had was at the TTC but outside Epcot, AK, DHS the WiFi was fine Never had an issue with the driver finding us. On Lyft we just put the name of the hotel, or park, and that worked fine for us.

    News Round Up 2018

    I haven’t seen the movies but the ride is the best I’ve ever experienced I’m not suggesting your opinion is invalid, but I don’t need any connection to enjoy the ride (same as Haunted Mansion, Splash mountain etc etc)

    ***Official*** Toy Story Land Information Thread

    It’s funny how things work with boards like this and new things Announcement = OMG I’m so excited Build phase = this is not going to be good at all. So disappointing When you visit = this is so much fun That’s the general consensus of people who’ve visited so far. Pretty much everybody seem...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    I’m there for the first two weeks in August so called Disney. There’s no construction work, it’s just a room refurb and will be on a room to room basis. Very unlikely to cause any disturbance and as I’ll likely be in Magnolia Bend I won’t see anything at all
