Visit first part of December

Unread post by fayerwin »

We checked in December 2nd and checked out the 10th and were in building 5 (some other family members were in building 2 the same period), so we were on “old” rooms. The renovation work was not noticeable for the most part. Workers and equipment were using one parking lot and we saw workers in building six on our last day. I’m sure it will be more noticeable when the work gets closer to the lobby.

We reserved standard rooms, but we were given a room with a view of the swimming pool in building 5. Our relatives in building 2 (who also had reserved a standard room) got one overlooking the river. The rooms were nice, as usual. Breakfast continues to be the busiest meal at the food court. Go early (like about 7:05); it’s hard to find a table after 8.

There were some “growing pains” with the latest computer upgrade in the reservation system (not unique to Port Orleans), which had been completed the day before. That caused a short delay getting us checked in, but I doubt it will be a long-term problem. The staff worked hard to overcome the problems, and gave us a taxi voucher to get to a special event we had tickets for.

We used the buses without trouble. At times they were very crowed (especially Epcot), but for the most part they went well.
