    room facilities POR

    just at PORS. No kettle or coffee maker in room. They charge extra for coffee maker. Cheaper to go the the food court and get hot water or cup of coffee. You can buy your first tea or coffee and then just take back your styrafoam cup and refill it with hot water for free...

    POR trundle beds

    just came back from PORS and the trundle is only a narrow single bed (approx. 60" x 30") with a 5" thick mattress, good for one kid up to 10 years old or so. It slides out from under the bed closest to the main door and is generally not in the way of other things in the room. Our kids found it...

    Bayou or Mansion

    we just came back from PORS Bayou and it was excellent. Woodsy and rustic. You feel like you are in a country cabin. A good bet with the kids. I don't know if all the Bayou rooms have a trundle bed but it offers a fifth bed if you need one. It slides out from under one of the queen beds. I...

    We all did DQ as there is lots for everybody to do. Our kids were 10 and 8 so we were not comfortable in sending them alone. The weekends and rainy nights get quiet busy in there. Go during the week, and there's enough for three or four nights of fun. It has alot of "Classic" video...

    Tipping for Housekeeping

    On the first day of our 1 week vacation (two weeks ago) we arrived at our room to a small Housekeeing card with our Mousekeeper's name on it with the usual "Hi my name is ... if you need any assistance then please call...". I am pretty sure we had the same lady the whole week because she would...

    To Magic Hour or Not to Magic Hour?

    We just got back from WDW a week ago and here's my take on the Early Entry Magic Hour: - It really dpends what the ages are in your group. We had two sons 8 and 10, and a daughter 16, and we found it very difficult to get up at 6:45 - 7am to be at the Park for 8am. - So if you have late...

    Feb 9-15 Port Orleans RS Trip Report

    Just a few more points I thought I would express: - PORS Boatwrights dinner food and service was excellent and priced ok. We didn't order any alcohol or appetizers so that helped I guess. We found the food portions to be excellent everywhere we went so we stopped ordering appetizers after the...

    POR rehab?

    We were there just last week and PORS is in excellent shape. Our room in Building 38 was spotless and in perfect shape. I even looked for signs of wear because other said they expereinced poor conditions. But not in our room! The PORS area was very clean and nice looking. I tried to drive...

    Feb 9-15 Port Orleans RS Trip Report

    It was still techically "low season" for the first 4 days of our vacation and the crowds reflected that (Monday through Friday). We didn't really need PS's for any of our meals except on the weekend. On Friday it became "High-Season" but it didn't seem all that busy in AK. It drizzled rain...

    Apparently Disney will provide a very small "medical" fridge for free. I never did see one but others have said it might hold about 2 cans of pop but not a small bottle of water (too tall). You might try our approach and ask for one and then hope they give you a room with a normal bar...

    Do they still have pin trading?

    Here's a tip to save a few bucks: Pins in the Parks and Disney stores start at $6.50 and go up to $12. That is expensive in my opinion. So to save a few bucks go to the Character Warehouse Outlet mall at Belz and buy discontinued pins for $3.99 (max 24 allowed) and then trade them back at...

    Feb 9-15 Port Orleans RS Trip Report

    Go for it!! Yes we maybe went a little overbaord with the Character meals as we did 4 through out the week. A little expensive but we wanted to try out as many things as possible with the kids. I probably would only do 1 or maybe 2 next time as the kids will be older and probably won't be...

    Feb 9-15 Port Orleans RS Trip Report

    Yes it was well worth the $22 per adult. They do offer to bring as many seconds as you wish but the first helping was plenty for us. You get all three of beef, turkey and pork lion for meats along with mashed potatoes, garlic seasoned green beans, awesome stuffing, and a few other main entree...
