POR Room Conditions

[Unomas]

My DW and I have a question and were hoping some of you good people could help us answer it. We stayed at POR in December 2011. We loved the resort but I believe we had one of the older rooms. The WDW website pictures of a "standard room" shows the clearly refurbished rooms. Are all of the rooms at Riverside like refurbished like their advertised models?

Thanks

Yes, all of the POR refurbs were completed in 2012.

We stayed there (Alligator Bayou, Building 16 or 17) in October 2012. The rooms are all refurbed and now all have queen beds (plus the Murphy bed in the Alligator Bayou rooms). Although the refurbishment was a few months old when we saw it, our room was pristine and still looked brand-new, and certainly much more luxurious and pretty than the rooms were prior to the refurb -- it looked exactly like the "promo" picture on the Disney website. I think you'll be very pleased with the updates.

Awesome! I knew you guys would have the facts. They rooms look amazing. Among the best of all moderates I have seen.

Was just there - it was quite nice, as were the building(s), the grounds, etc. No complaints!

By the way, they are IDENTICAL to the rooms at French Quarter now too.

When we went in 2009 , we noticed that too. But, I believe it's all been taken care of now. The special" princess Tiana Royal rooms I heard are very nice!

Tiana rooms were very nice. neat little effect in the headboard the kids got a kick out of(push a button and it looks like fireworks).

They are all refurbished, and they are amazing. The rooms just scream relaxation, which is good from the up tempo feeling of the parks.

I just switched our resorts and now were staying at RS and I requested building 38. I assume this is good? Not to far from Boat or Bus stops?

 

[BoarderPhreak]

The main building and north bus depot are about equal in distance from lodge 38 and not a far walk... About 2-4m. You are this far from the bridge crossing over to Ol' Man Island - and the main building beyond:



You will see this sign on the way to the bus stop:
