CBFETT & Family - Port Orleans Riverside 2011

[CBFETT]

Man what a great time! Went by so fast and we had extra days this time. Anyway, just getting back into the work thing and having to catch up. Pictures coming this week and I will provide a short summary at the end with brief restaurant reviews (Brief!) and top 10 things I learned. Stay tuned! Now when is the next trip?!

[ssmerdel]

Glad you had a great time. Cannot wait to see the pictures and the brief report.

[tappenfeat]

Hooray! So happy to hear from ya! I was going to PM you and ask how your trip was, then I spotted this thread! Can't wait! Can't believe how fast it goes by.

[mickeymom5]

Yay! I can't wait to "hear" all about it! I am looking forward to your pics! Can't wait to hear how you liked POR...if I remember right your family is like mine...more than two kids!

Yes were are a family of five with three kids.

[mickeymom5]

I thought so! We have three kids, too. (I actually slept part of the night with my then 4 year old on that crazy trundle bed!)
I am anxiously waiting for the new resort to open...ahhh family suites! However, I am really wanting to stay at the Polynesian just once...

It just flies by Stephanie! You blink and your back home. Then when you look at the WDW Updates here and see pics you're like I was just there.

I will include my thoughts on POR in the summary. This was the 2nd time we have stayed there with all three kids. And if you ever get the chance to stay at the Poly, DO IT! You will not be disappointed! It's our favorite!

Trying to download pics from the iPhone now as we speak. Hope to have first set up tonight.
