Could anyone confirm that has been to POR recently confirm that cases of water are available in the gift shop? If they are, what is the current price? Thank you!
Doing my planning for my September trip (only 64 more days)!
Is it easier to take the boat to DTD to transfer to hotels (animal kingdom) for dinner or a bus to Epcot.
I plan to take a taxi back but was trying to figure out how to get there
That is the only think I dislike about Disney transportation. No easy way to get to resorts without stopping at a theme park.
I would plan much more time to get to POR from landing at the airport. It can take a couple of hours. Are you renting a car or using Magical Express? Of the many times I've stayed at POR, magical express shared with Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, POFQ and POR- with Riverside being the 4th drop off. If you are renting a car, then you have to leave time to get your bags from baggage claim and the ride to WDW from MCO is about 40 minutes. You will have to check-in and go right to MK if you are taking the boat over to Fort Wilderness. We always do the 6:15pm show, and we leave the resort by 4:30-5pm the latest to get there. You just never know how long it will take for a bus and the boats. I really hope you arrive at POR early enough. You might want to take a cab to skip the boat and all of that. Also when you arrive to POR, you can go to the Concierge desk and they will print your ticket for HDDR so you won't have to when you get to Pioneer Hall.First family trip in October staying at POR and so excited!!! I've planned to death ADR and all. My plane is scheduled to come in at 3:30 and I'm assuming we should be to POR by 4 or 4:30. We have a 6:15 ADR at hoop dee doo review. My question I guess is what is the best way to get there on time we have to also pick up tickets when we get to pioneer hall
The best way is to take a taxi. Otherwise, take the first park bus that comes by and then switch to the AKL bus at the park bus depot.Can someone recommend the best way to get to AKL from PO? We have a brunch ressie.

I would take the bus to MK which is the closest resort & then hop on the AKL bus. We do that all the time depending on when/where our reservations are.Can someone recommend the best way to get to AKL from PO? We have a brunch ressie.
We are booked for a pool view room at POR Dec. 12-19. Does the resort play music in the pool area? We enjoyed the music at our pool view room at POP. Thanks in advance!

If you have a pool view RR you'll be in either side of the pool between Oak Manor & Parterre Pl. there is a foot bridge between the 2 as well. I personally prefer Oak Manor. I'd request a location close to foot bridge & river path. Prob the same idea as dansdad just different wording. We had a GV room in Oak Manor in January. Had a room in river side of building, great location. The pool view rooms were right behind us.
I don't drive in WDW so have no comparison but it's true about driving to MK. Bus is way better, it lets you off in front of park. If you drive you have to park at the TTC, take parking lot tram, then transfer to boat or monorail to MK
We only drive when we have ADR's at other resorts. Otherwise for the parks we take the buses.
We've stayed late August and didn't have a problem.I'm sure this has been covered before, but are mosquitoes bad at POR? We will be there in late September. I was at AoA last September and do not recall any issues with bugs whatsoever, but with all the water at POR, I can't see how they wouldn't be an issue? Any insight?
