POR Riverside

tinkerbelle24 · 05-08-2008

Since I had to change my plans last minute and switch resorts can anyone give me any info on this resort please.
I seen that they have carriage rides. Do you pay for that and how do you book it?
Does this resort have the boat to a park?
Anything else???
Thanks all!!!

POR does not have a boat to a park but it does have a wonderful and relaxing boat to DTD. I do believe you have to pay for carriage rides but as I recall they were not expensive. You can also rent surrey bikes and the like, plus various watercraft.

It is an AWESOME resort. You will have a great time there.

Runs about 35 bucks plus tip for 25 minutes. Better make reservations just to be sure ... Try 407-WDW-PLAY. I have read that they book up.

tinkerbelle24 · 05-08-2008

Thanks guys. Which building should I ask for? I have party of 5.
I also was told there are no elevators. Is that true?

mairinmaureen · 05-08-2008

Ask for the Alligator Bayou section. That is the only section that will accomodate a party of 5. The 5th person sleeps on a trundle bed and they have to be little because it is definitely made for children. I do not know if they provide rollaways upon request for the Mansions or not, maybe someone else can help with that. I would call and put the request in ASAP.

As for POR, again let me tell you, this is a great resort. Great food court, beautiful setting, shared amenities with POFQ which means two themed pools. Take the boat or just stroll over to POFQ.

I don't mind walking but since the resort is large you may want to request a room close to the FC or pool area.

Oh....one more thing....
I don't believe there are any elevators!

I've only stayed in the Magnolia Bend Mansions, so I'm not sure.

Ask for building 18 in Aligator Bayou. It is wonderful. has a quiet pool and laundry room right there and it's very close to the bus and the main building

Building 14 is the closest to the main pool and food court, but Dopey is right Building 18 is the bestest in my opinion!

tinkerbelle24 · 05-08-2008

I don't know about the bayou, but the Mansions have elevators. Road them many times.
