I'm not sure what you mean about upgrades. Do you mean water view? We stayed in Oct and had a waterview room. We stayed in rm 2330

Hi from a fellow Upstate NYer!! We just stayed at FQ last August/September for the first time and LOVED it!!! We booked a Garden View but had put in a request for building 2, 3rd floor, and a corner room. When we checked in our room wasn't ready yet but the CM told us we had been upgraded.
We ended up in room 2332...best room ever! We had a corner room with one window overlooking the pool slide and the other overlooking the river/boat dock. We loved our view but really any view at FQ would be a great one. It is such a pretty resort. I think you'll enjoy any view that you have.
I have read about upgrades that include a moderatre to a deluxe resort, a larger room, better view, etc. Seems to vary.
Our first ever on property stay, we were booked at Pop. We arrived late in the evening and I was so disoriented. The cm was super weird at check in and kept going back and forth to speak to someone. Finally she came back and told me how they would like to extend an offer for a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe resort. We then were asked what our favorite park was... and we were shipped over to YC.
Didn't ask... didn't expect... but it was the pixie dust of a lifetime for sure!
Did you ask for the upgrade or was this something that the resort just did? I have read a few threads about upgrades and some folks seem to ask for them (and not always get the upgrade) whereas others mention that they got an upgrade but do not mention that they asked for the upgrade. Is this one of those pixie dust moment?
I just booked for Aug 22-Aug 31.First time at POFQ. I booked standard but DD really wants river view. For the small amount of time we are in the room I'm just not sure if it would be worth it. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed for "free dining" to come out.
So this June will be my 7th time in WDW but my first at POFQ! Me and my dad love getting up early to get coffee and sit outside of the food court at the resorts we've stayed at. My question for those of you who have stayed here is whether or not there is a good place to take your coffee (and pecan roll) and sit outside and just eat/drink. Thanks for your help!
There are loads of places to sit around the resort. Right outside the food court is a smoking area though, so you may want to move just a little further away.
There are several fountains within a couple of minutes walk which are nice to sit by too.
Those places look amazing! Are there any areas that have tables also? Like any outdoor dining areas in FQ?
I'm just really excited and need to tell people that I leave in 3 hours to catch my flight and I'll be staying in French quarter next week for the week.
