It may be chilly for the pool in January anyway.
Andre, any idea what the work entails? Splash zone, fencing?
Just wanted to share my excitement. I leave for WDW in 5 days. YAY!!! This will be my first stay at POR. I've been stalking this thread for a while and really appreciate all of the great information.
Have a wonderful trip! POR is truly an amazing resort, I just love it there! I'll be "home" in 23 days!Just wanted to share my excitement. I leave for WDW in 5 days. YAY!!!

Exactly! We went in January of last year, and our AK day, the rides were not even operating in the morning because it was too cold. It was about 40 degrees. Then again, a few days later, it hit the 70s!It may be chilly for the pool in January anyway.
Back from POR almost two weeks now. *sigh* I really miss it.
Anyway, I have a silly question. I loved the music playing in the buses to and from POR. Often, though, there was no music playing, just the sound of crickets chirping, lol. The chirping went on so long sometimes, that I wondered if the chirping could be something squeaking on the bus. Now, just so you know, I am missing the resort and Disney real bad right now, so I'm hoping somebody comes back here and says that those chirping sounds were definitely part of the piped in music and those were most likely genuine Louisiana bayou crickets we were hearing! I grew to really love listening to the resort bus music and kind of got attached to those crickets. Ah, the little things you miss when it's over.
I'm thinking I should use the full street address just in case, versus the PO Box address, but what happens if it is sent USPS? Will it still get delivered?
If in doubt, use the full street address, the post office will know to deliver it to the main sorting area (the local postal service probably knows about Disney World by now )

Preferred room or King room. We are two adults, no children. I booked preferred because I love alligator bayou. Last time I booked river view and requested alligator bayou but didn't get it. I got a really nice river view mansion room though. I noticed a lot of the king rooms are corner rooms and that could be nice as well. Should I give up my preferred alligator bayou room for a king?
My whole family is at that stage of life from the babies to the adults. We bring a small fan with us everywhere. We need the airflow and the noise.I read on another resort's threat that some guests were able to request a box fan in the past. I'm planning my parents' upcoming trip and they've currently got a Royal Room reserved, so no ceiling fan. Does anybody have any experience with calling to ask for a box fan? If that's not feasible, any alternative recommendations? My Mom is at that stage in life (if you catch my drift) where she can't sleep without a fan. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback!
I was reading the Riverside Mill menus on portorleans.org and noticed the changes. What are the "roasted potatoes" like that have replaced the mashed potatoes with the carved meats?
They are only listed specifically on the kids menu (not sure why) but the adult meals have mash. The vegetable choice does vary though, perhaps it's a daily option?
