We are new to POR, we are a family of 5 so to guarantee a day bed we reserved a preferred room, the way I understand it there is no chance of getting a river view, do I understand this correctly?
This is exactly what my choices were and I went for River View. I've only stayed in Royal and the other Magnolia Bend mansions, so I'm hoping to get Building 14 for AB! But from what I've been told, none of the River View Rooms will be a bad area. Yay!!We are also a family of 4 and booked a bounceback offer (choice of riverview room or royal room) and we went with riverview room. My plan is to request AB section, building 14 -we've been there a few times and have always had AB section. Love having the extra bed (our DD's are teens but tiny enough to sleep on the pull down murphy bed) Good luck getting your choice

I wouldn't worry that your BC CL experience could happen to you at POR. The club level floor at the Beach Club is on the top floor. Some of those rooms have a dormer balcony and those are the club level rooms that don't have the daybed. But POR has plenty of beds for families of five.thanks andrewilley and magicalcouple, My reservations stems from an incident a few years back where I was told that because we are a family of 5 (yes all over 3) that we would automatically get a room with a daybed(stayed beach club with club level) and we were given a room with two queen beds, they offered a free rollaway. Now to avoid that hastle I am hesitant to book any room that does not guarantee beds for 5 without a rollaway, that's why I booked preferred. I am not certain a view is important enough to pay more, just wondering if the possibility existed.
We love both the BC and POR. I hope you enjoy your stay at POR.haha thanks wood nymph, I am well versed now on the rooms at beach club and I was surprised to find that not all club rooms are on the 5th floor! but still not guaranteed a balcony. Thanks for "welcoming" me over to POR, I cant wait to try something new!

This is actually the Port Orleans Riverside thread, sister resort to French Quarter. You can find the French Quarter thread here:After posting about the advantages of staying off property, a friend introduced me to a cast member who got into Port Orleans French Quarter for an incredible rate. I have some questions on Port Orleans French Quarter.
* Grocery Shopping - Read Safeway is a good choice. We plan to eat breakfast in the room.
* How often do the shuttle buses run to the parks?
* How long of a drive to each park?
* Any general tips you would like to share?

For early morning arrival at MK the bus works best. It is also possible to get an Uber to The Contemporary, then walk to MK. Minnie vans will drop you off at the bus area of MK but are often very hard to get in early morning.We have a pre park opening (as of now) breakfast booked for MK. How would that work with the buses or should we plan on driving ourselves?
We will be there 7/27-8/4. I received an email from Disney Destinations today notifying me of POR room refurbs and 1 of the pools closed while we are there. I have already requested Bldg 85 (magnolia terrace) but if that's the quiet pool that will be closed I may reconsider. Any way of finding out where the refurb will begin?
