Stayed at POR tried hotel for magic bands 9/22-9/29 ordered bands and was able to use the app to schedule fast pass plus. Was able to make changes se real times before we arrived and while we were in the parks night before and the same day. One day at Epcot it rained heavy test track was closed disney cancelled my fast pass plus time gave me options to choose something else sent an email to me as it happen. I was able to go back to Epcot another day and scheduled fast pass online. Great new addition to disney magic.

Used magic bands from 9/22-9/29 used for hotel rooms, fast pass plus, photo pass plus, park hoppers, and dining. Never had to use our regular key to the world card in fact left them in the room. Band is comfortable like a watch or bracelet my 5 year old grand daughter never to hers off she swam and showered with it. Never had any issues. Very convenient .

Our family of 7 (2rooms) stayed at POR sep. 22-29. 4 adults 3 girls 4,5and7. Royal rooms. Free dining. I'll first say we have stayed at Animal kingdom and wilderness lodge. I was not sure how we would like POR but I love it the property is amazingly beautiful. The trees river grasses different plants and wildlife just beautiful. The buildings are great the pools, very clean. Food at the QS dining we used twice was good busy in the mornings. Took the boat to downtown disney nice, horse and carriage ride. We agreed we will stay here again. Busses came from 2 to 8 minutes of us getting to the stop. Just amazing we're planning next years at POR .. By the way my 5 year old grand daughter loved all the special details the room. Of my 4 Disneyworld trips this is by far our best the resort played a huge role in this.

Had a King room. Very roomy. Loved having 2 sinks. There are so many trees that it gave a feeling of privacy between buildings. Loved the river/water feature. Had difficulty getting a bus at closing time from Magic Kingdom. This line took up 2 waiting spaces there were so many people waiting and it took quite a while to get through.
Pros:
Privacy, settingCons:

We did brunch. The decor and view are wonderful. The food is incredible and the service fantastic. Had the prosecco which was very nice. Loved the lasagne and smoked salmon. We liked everything we tried. Definitely a special experience.

This was our favorite of the three dinner restaurants. There was so much to look at, so many details. It was interactive and the screens changed so it was a progressive experience.
Pros:
So much to see; different experience with each sittingCons:

Full Day Caribbean Sail & Snorkel to Turtle Cove & Honeymoon Beach
Fantastic! Very fun crew. Our snorkel guide took us around the cove, pointing out sea creatures and giving information. We saw turtles, rays, parrot & many other fish. Then we sailed over to Honeymoon Beach. Relaxing beach, good swimming area.

Beautiful areaCons:

French Riviera Beach Rendezvous
Lovely beach, nice water, but no fish or anything to see. Good with small kids, a bit boring for older kids. There are some rentals available. There were some locals walking back and forth trying to sell items, but it wasn't overwhelming. Very hot unless you spend the extra $3 for umbrella. Lunch was great. We had grilled chicken. Large portions.
Pros:
Food, water, beachCons:

Ate here for the first time this trip, Aug 29, 2013. We loved the theming, drive in cars with the old movie playing, very cute! I typically don't have a problem with the prices of food at Disney b/c everything is pricy (and worth it to me), but this restaurant I found to be quite outrageous. We also paid out of pocket for DDP this trip, so we paid attention more to pricing to see if we got a good value. I had the pasta for $24, if I would have paid $12 at home I would have thought it was way too much. It was just pasta with chicken nothing fancy, not even a piece of bread! My husband had the steak and loved it- esp the blue cheese butter. Shakes and deserts were good. Overall, I'd eat here again but only with free DDP.

We dined here for a third time this trip Sept 3, 2013. We have had wonderful food and service each and every time. The food is fresh and amazing here, we enjoy the bread, salad, all three meats and desert. The characters are fun and our son loves to look down at The Land ride while we rotate. Highly recommended!
