Switched to Port Orleans.

My DW got cold feet for Coronodo Springs with some of the info fellow MBers provided andthe fact we are not going for the DD. The food court was out of the norm so we decided to play it safe with our all time favorite.

Port Orleans.

We did have to move our stay back a day 8/9/08 thru 8/16/08.

Re: Switched to Port Orleans.

Sorry hate to be the bubble buster on this one!

But having stayed at POR last July, and CSR this March I would have told you to stay with CSR. Lately POR just seems like it needs a complete overhaul . . . hopefully by the time you go, they will have started refurbing the rooms.

With that said . . . if POR is your favorite . . . then I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Hey, you're in DISNEY. . . can't be all that bad!

No dinning. The dinning was only aval. for the cabins or boardwalk. We want to try to go twice this year so went for moderate no dinning. It ends up cheaper.
