Coming back

Unread post by bstent »

Hi All,

We (family 4) came to riverside in August 2010 for the first time for 2 weeks and had a ball. We had the quick service meals and the ultimate Disney tickets which help with spending less money than we thought we would spend when we where on holiday. One great freebees was access to the Disney quest with our tickets we had a few evenings out by going on the boat to downtown Disney getting sandwiches at the earl of sandwich bar a must if you go to downtown Disney.

We have been on a saving freeze since we came back are have just booked to go back in August this year. I have a very excited 10 and 12 year old and wife as well.

I would recommend Riverside to anyone.

One question. We are arriving on the 15th August and had a room about 4 min walk from the restaurant and by one of the small pool which was great I can remember the room number it was something like 1370??? If we call riverside a couple of weeks before we could you think we would have any luck asking for the same area. I know this is prob asking a bit to much but it would be great if we could get roughly where we were last year.

Cheers
Brad

We're going to PO French Quarter for the first time (our third visit to Orlando) and we loved Disney Quest as well. Like you, can't wait for August to arrive, but got to pay for the holiday first haha!
Can't say I can recommend which room as never been to this site before but perhaps bump into your around the pool!
If you use the DIBB forum, usually there is someone there who knows the detail you need if you haven't tried that?

Room 1370 isn't in the Alligator Bayou section (or anywhere at Port Orleans). AB has rooms numbered from 01 to 64, prefixed with the building number (e.g. 1401, 1402, ... 1464). The first building number in AB is 14, see the map for details of the general layout which might give you more of an idea of where your room was located.

We stayed in building 27 room 33 which will give you room 2733 in August 2010 fantastic room not to far away from the quite pool, main building, bus stop this room is good because it has two windows so you get more sun and the room feels bigger have posted some pics hope they worked coming back in October 2011 Image

2756 is even better. It's a standard-view room, but on a corner where the second window looks out over the river. And it's right next to the pathway leading to the food court. Great location!

Here's the view...

Love your pictures--We've only stayed in Mansions section but would be interesting to stay in AB after seeing your pics!
