We have previously stayed at POFQ and are trying to decide if we should try POR for an upcoming trip in May. I like the look and amenities of POR, but my two concerns are the buses and AB vs. mansions. We really prefer the mansions, but it looks like the only way to guarantee it is a royal room -is this correct? If we do not book a royal room and request mansions, how likely is it to get this request? My fear of the buses is while staying at POFQ I saw many times we went to POR and there was no room for those folks on the bus. I don't mind standing (occasionally), but I would not like to be there waiting, have the bus arrive, and not be able to get on it. I saw the bus schedule on Andre's website -in reality, how has it been lately? If you are at the last stop at POR, do you actually get on the bus?
Everytime we've stayed at POR we requested the mansions and it's been fulfilled. As a traveling party of 2 not looking for the extra bed AB provides, I think that helps. But obviously there's no guarantee.
As for the buses, when we were there a few weeks ago, we noticed in the morning they sent the double buses. We never waited too long going to the parks. At night leaving the park was really when the lines were bad. Being in the mansions and close to POFQ, we would take the FQ bus back and walk. The few times we took the POR bus (esp when it was shared with FQ) back they seemed to be moving people quickly, but sometimes there was still a decent wait.
What building were you in that you used the POFQ buses? And what route did the POR buses take, what order were the stops? The 2 times I've stayed at POR I was in Magnolia Bend and the East Depot was the 3rd stop with South last. By time we got to South Depot the buses were always FULL!!! Packed like sardines!!!.........

Others have said sometimes South Depot is the first stop?? Anyone know what is the current order?
In Magnolia Bend (A.K.A. "The Mansions") first floor rooms are at ground level and do not require stairs.I'm traveling with my Mom who has trouble with stairs. We like the mansions, but many photos of the exterior of the mansions look like you would need to go up stairs to even get in the first floor. Is this correct? Are the ground floor rooms actually right on the ground floor or not? Is it just a couple steps or a huge staircase? If we had a room on the upper floor could we walk onto the first floor and take the elevator or do we go up those big flights of stairs? Do people use these stairs or are they just for the theming??
If one is in the royal rooms, approximately how king of a walk is it to the buses at PORFQ? General range? Just curious, tia!

Wow great pics would you know if the royal rooms have ground floor access. Just dealing with a foot wound and want to minimize stairs. Thanks!
