Will be there Tuesday! So glad the wheel is turning!

I had originally wanted to book POFQ, but couldn't find a room, so Riverside was my next choice for late February 2018, so I just booked it tonight! I haven't been to WDW since I was a toddler! We are excited!

I forgot to mention as well. The giant paddle fans in the registration area were moving as well, albeit very slowly. We were at MK yesterday so I didn't get a chance to check and see if both the wheel and fans were in motion.

Just to confirm, we checked in today and the wheel is indeed working.

Hello. Several questions...

We are checking in in a few weeks. Does anyone know the following:
1. In the food court coffee station, do they have the flavored liquid coffee creamers? Usually I see them in the little cups in restaurants, etc.
2. Do the rooms still provide insect repellent?
3. I tried to look up any current construction projects and for Riverside, I mainly just have seen floor updates in the food court. Anything else? Most concerned about pool closures.

Thank you in advance!

Quick question. I'm not seeing it listed on the menus anymore. Is the carving station still available in the Riversdide Mill for dinner?

Yes it's still there, we had a choice of beef, turkey or salmon.

On Sunday, the 20th, we are hoping to be at MK for ropedrop. We plan on using Disney buses. What time should we be at the bus stop to ensure we make it in time to see the opening show at MK?

We arrive on Saturday!!! Yay!

Have a Royal room (garden view) booked. Any advice on building request or other request for being closer to the buses/ pools/ food court?

Finally was able to book for Christmas 2018. We usually stay at POFQ but are going to stay at Riveraide again mainly because of the quiet pools staying open late.

I'm not a coffee drinker, so can't answer #1. But #2, the answer is yes, still provided. And for #3, I didn't see any construction at all other than regular maintenance last month (and I ran around the resort/POFQ daily).

If you want to be close to the buses/pools/food court, then just ask for that.

Well be home sept 14th! So excited! Since our last trip we've had a baby (celebrating his first birthday! ) I have a question about cribs. Should I be renting one from the same place we're renting the stroller from? Or is it safe to assume there will be one available? Someone also mentioned to me that there are pack and plays in every room? I don't remeber seeing one the last time we stayed (although that was at carribean beach 2 years ago) do they just hide them well?! Any advise is helpful, first time back to disney with a child!

Transportation debate. So last time went to WDW in 2011 we stayed at Pop Century. We didn't really have any crazy wait times for a bus except for a couple of occasions. That being said the buses were always really overcrowded most of the time.

This trip I have started a savings account to save for the occasional taxi. So from those of you with more experience I have a few questions to help with my planning:

- I have read some vague comments about the bus situation at POR. What should I be expecting?

- Better to use taxi's to get to the park or back from the park?

- Are certain parks more useful for taxi's? Like at MK you need to take the cab to T&T center.

- Anything else I have not mentioned that needs to be considered?

Thanks guys!

HI ! So my favorite Resort is infakt POR... It's soooooooooo... relaxing and the Atmosphere is Great : FOOD: DONT GO TO THE RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!

POR has 4 Bus depos so you may have to wait like 5-10 Minutes for your Bus
I think It's not a "BIG" Deal
