Anyone in Alligator Bayou right now? If so, what building are you in and do you like its location?
We are first timers to POR and I'm having a hard time deciding which AB building to request. I know that my request may not be fulfilled, but I'm going to try anyway. We are staying in a Garden Room.
Thank you!
Just request what you want... second floor, close to bus stop; second floor, close to main pool; etc. We request close to the bus stop, because we take afternoon breaks, which means we are walking to and from the bus stop four times a day. We have stayed in building 36 and 38. When we stayed in 38, we had booked river view, so I only requested 2nd floor. When we stayed in 36, I had requested 2nd floor, close to transportation and quiet pool.Do you have to pay the subscription fee to see the room views on touringplans.com? I may just request AB 2nd floor since I have no clue what building we would prefer.

I don't like the preferred rooms' location, because it's closest to the main bus stop, and I prefer to use one of the other stops. They are quieter and less crowded in the mornings. Obviously, I'm in the minority on this, because a lot of people pay extra to stay there.
We can't really recommend building numbers without knowing what's a priority to you. Do you want to be near the main pool? Do you prefer quiet pools? Will you get a refillable mug, and want short walks for refills? Short walk to breakfast before heading to the parks? Short walk to bus stop?Thank you for your input. Did you like buildings 36 and 38? We have a Garden View room and I would like to request AB. Being near the West or East depot would be fabulous, but I don't want to request too much.
Here's some of what they sell (plus all the usual Disney World confectionery items of course)

I posted this separately in a thread but then thought it might be better posted here.....for anyone who is there now......
We have an upcoming 6 night stay at POR. Just wondered if the store at POR sells water bottles by the case and for how much. There is not really any point in ordering delivery of groceries if all we want are a few dozen bottles of water but on the other hand, I don't want to be spending a fortune on individual bottles of water.

It depends on what you want. 38 is closer to the pool/food court. 36 is closer to the bus stop/quiet pool. But there's not a huge difference. I'm not the best person to ask, because I would be happy in any building at POR!Thank you for your input. Did you like buildings 36 and 38? We have a Garden View room and I would like to request AB.

Yes they had them. Not sure of price. We just filled our resort mug and got ice from the ice machine.I posted this separately in a thread but then thought it might be better posted here.....for anyone who is there now......

I am thinking of staying here for the first time in October. The royal rooms look appealing, however I would like to be near lobby/food court. Would I be better off in a preferred room? Are the royal rooms a far walk? Thanks for any help!

The mansion rooms are on the side closest to French Quarter, which can be a nice benefit if you want to use their food court (walk over for some beignets) or if you want to catch a FQ bus on the way back from the parks and then walk back to your POR room. The FQ bus is almost always less crowded. Just something to consider.I am thinking of staying here for the first time in October.

We were there last week and they charged us $7.99 for the case.Yes they do. They are $6.99 for twenty-four 12oz bottles of Dasani.
Some people might think so. A better chance of getting a seat, but you're also on the bus for the entire route. We are all able bodied, and in the mornings when it was busy, we got on at the North Depot and ended up giving up our seats to little kids most of time. So getting a seat wasn't a priority for us.I have requested close to transportation for my stay -- is the west Depot the best since it's first? I used Touring Plans to request a specific place mostly because I liked the scenery. Building 38, I think.
We were in building 25 and that was close to the west depot. It was also close to the path that led to the main building. It was by a quiet pool and we really liked that location.I have requested close to transportation for my stay -- is the west Depot the best since it's first?
