Port Orleans Riverside FAQ thread --- 2012, Part Two --- NOW CLOSED

[webstah]

You could see me anytime if I am not working. I love to hangout at POR, I just like the atmosphere there.

And just what does the ever elusive Venomhatch look like for anyone who would be looking for him?

Hello everyone! We are getting ready for our disneymoon in less than three weeks--sooo excited. We are staying at POR FQ. Any opinions on this resort?

Love POFQ. Small, quiet, and beautiful!!!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Maybe we'll see you down there, Heather. T-4.5 hours until we roll out of the driveway on our way to POR!

Have a safe trip!!!

Andre maintains another thread for POFQ, which is just as good as this one.

We are arriving on Oct 12 and staying for 8 nights. We have a garden view and I will be sending in a request in a few days. Any tips in which request would be best to get us the closest to the main area and bus stop? We stayed at POFQ last year in building 5 and it was so convenient. We are in the Royal Rooms as well. I was thinking Oak by the bridge, but I would love advice! Thanks all!

Hahaha! Maybe we can be neighbors!

Can I be your neighbor too!? We arrive on the 15th for 4 nights in a royal room, garden view. Save me a good room!

I'll have a LGMH on my bag, stop and say hi if you see me! I'll have a 12 year old granddaughter with me who loves to swim.

I just have to say how excited I am to be checking into POR on Sat.! I have been reading this thread for months and decided to finally jump in and say hi!! It's so nice to know how many 'over planners' there are out there....some people just don't get how 'all this' is part of the fun!! Wishing everyone a wonderful and magical vacation!!

We're also checking in Saturday!!!! Hope you have a great vacation

I would request a fountain view, that should put you in either inner courtyard of the Royal mansions. Both are pretty equidistant to the bridge to the main building. Personally, I preferred Parterre and since everyone asks for Oak ( they think it's so much closer) you might get your requests met there more easily. That logic worked for me, we got a fab upgrade.

My DD is 7 and is also a big swimmer! I'm sure we will be at the pool alot! She loved the slide at the FQ last year

I rock the LGMH also on the book bag and camera bag! I though we were a dying breed doing that tradition!

I think I got the last alien green Mickey head from our local Home Depot a couple months ago!

That's great! DGD loves the pool at POFQ, I hope she likes the slide at POR just as much. Well, I'm sure she will. What's not to like? A week off from school, WDW with Nana and Pop, a royal room, and lots of swimming and park time. We've been bringing her with us ever since she was 7, her mom came with us a couple of times but apparently she's not as much fun as we are.

We call my DHs parents nana pop too! We offered to take them with us this year, but unfortunately they could not make it. Their family is from STL and they keep asking to take her up there, but it makes me nervous for her to be 12 hours away! We all go fairly often, but I don't want her that far away from mama. We are surprising her this year, but nana pop don't want to miss it, so they are driving us to the airport.

I heard they were discontinuing them so I grabbed hand fulls of every color and i mean every color. Just for back up ones. The guy just smiled and said take them we are discontinuing them and offered a box.

That's so cool that you're surprising your daughter, she doesn't suspect anything? She's going to be so excited!

Nice....I got a pile of them, too, but alas, only one, lonely alien green.

She doesn't yet, but there's still time! I've got my fingers and toes crossed that we can keep it quiet! My 3year old niece heard her mom and me talking about our trip today and she kept asking if she could go too! So cute, but she loves to tell my DD secrets so it could spell trouble! I thought about adding her onto the trip, but with flight and all it would be way more than we wanted to spend to take a 3 year old who eats nothing and could ride nothing!
