Just back from POFQ (June 6-12th). Here are a few opinions from this trip:
Resort is lovely. Quaint and small but big enough that you don’t feel crowded. Bunnies were all over the courtyard. We usually stay at AKL, so we were a little leery of a moderate.
The room( bldg 1 rm 1104) was big enough for us Myself and DD12 and DS6. Next time we would get 2 connecting rooms. One king and 1 double-- Double beds wouldn’t cut it for DH. Standard room of the parking lot, but situated in front of some shrubs and trees so it was actually very nice.
There was a towel basket with a chick in it—I was beyond THRILLED. Never got one of those before!!
Floatworks and Jackson Square were very nice. DS was asked to join a cookie decorating session one nite and he got mardi gra beads and had a ball.
Decorated my window and bathroom mirrors with “happy birthday” signs—no problems there.
Pool and serpent slide were a big hit! It was very hot last week!
We took the boat to Riverside and DTD—always relaxing and a nice change from the bus.
Bus: FW only has the 1 stop. Riverside has 4. We were always picked up and dropped off first. At nite they separated the resorts.
We did the horse and buggy ride—beautiful! Along the river in both resorts, it was raining so I felt bad for the driver, but it was a nice touch to the trip.
We were on the dining plan—once I figure out how much we “saved” I will post it. I will say it is a LOT of food. We ended up with 2 CS’s leftover. I got a stomach thing so didn’t eat for 2 days. I will say that (at least at FQ), they are very flexible with how you use your credits. For example, we never wanted dessert but got cartons of milk instead for the fridge for later in the evening for the kids.
Restaurants we ate:
Boatrights at Riverside – Breakfast and Dinner. YUM! Banana French toast is delish. The pot roast is also yummy
Chef Mickey- Fun—the usual buffet items nothing really sticks in my mind that was overly delish.
1900 Park fare- Dinner with Cinderella. This was Great!! She is my favorite and we ate there for my 40th bday. Again, regular buffet stuff. However, I did pre-order the mini castle cake- vanilla/vanilla and the chocolate slipper mouse thing for my bday. I didn’t tell the kids, they thought that it was cool that they new it was my birthday. It was pricing—49 for both plates—but WORTH every dime.
Liberty Tree Tavern – lunch. I was not in the mood for eating so I only had a crab cake, but it was good. The kids enjoyed theirs.
Crystal Palace- Breakfast buffet. I really like it here, I love the French toast thingy’s. It was nice with the characters.
I had my birthday buttons from all the parks on my purse. I never mentioned it was my birthday, but every restaurant gave a free cupcake with a candle and singing. Anyone who saw the button sent wishes.
If anyone has any questions, please email me. I am more than happy to share!
