At portorleans.org, it's not showing any movies at POR, only POFQ.

The site shows recreation activities for both resorts, as per https://www.portorleans.org/recreation-schedules.php:

What is the best way to get from PO Riverside to the International Gateway at Epcot? I have read differing things about whether you can Uber to Beach Club to catch the skyliner or not.

Probably quickest to drive - Uber/Lyft/etc. However depending on where in Epcot you are trying to get to, the main entrance may be almost as easy and the bus is free.

Skyliner won't help much as from Epcot it only goes to the other resorts, there's a change needed for Studios. Of course, trying different options is always fun in WDW, don't necessary assume the quickest is "best".

Thanks. I want to try to get on Remy during early hours and I have read IG saves time. I do question how much related to just walking from the front though.

You would definitely gain a head-start for Remy by being at International Gateway for rope-drop rather than the main front entrance.

What time does the food court open for grab and go food and coffee? I just found out the parks open at 8 or 8:30 and want to be ready to hit early opening

Are there currently internal buses here? Can you bus from West Depot to the Main Building?

Although there is an internal shuffle (aka the Disney Springs bus) you can jump on pretty much any park bus to do that. West is usually the first pickup, and the route is then North>East>South (Main). Double-check with the driver to make sure he will be stopping at South. To be honest, it'd probably be just as quick to walk though if you want the Food Court area.

Hi. I have a "Woods View" booked at POR. I didn't see that designation in the OP of this thread, but I can guess that Woods View is the new Garden View. Does anyone know which buildings have Woods View rooms? Also, which buildings should I request to be the closest to the front desk Sassagoula Steamboat Co. building? Maybe Magnolia Terrace building or Buildings 16 or 17? Thank you.

There is 1 room in building 16 with woods view and 2 queen beds. We always request building 85, its close and your odds are better.

Thank you Christine!

Thank you Christine!

We have always found buildings 85 and 90, in the mansion area, to be the most convenient to get to the Sassagoula Steamboat Co. Its a little walk but a very nice casual walk.

What about in the Bayou section? We have an upcoming trip with Woods View Bayou, I know several buildings are preferred, but what would a good request be for non-preferred but probably still closest to main bus stop?

 

[andrewilley]

Yes, "Woods" is the new name for "Garden", the rooms are the same though. Mostly they will be in buildings 80 or 85 as the woods views in the Alligator Bayou section are sold as "Woods, 5th Sleeper". They sometimes need to overflow though, so you could be in either - so basically in any building apart from the Royal Room or Preferred Location sections.

I would request mansion section location close to Old Man Island foot bridge. Magnolia (85) has some beautiful woods/garden views of the inner courtyard on river side of the building. Especially second floor. This would be my request.

Anyone know if the Mill or Boatwrights is open yet after this ?

Riverside Mill re-opened yesterday evening, albeit with a limited menu.
