The Braves is my favorite team and I have always wanted to go to a spring training game. I am so excited.

Ok, this may not be the right place for this question, but since we are staying at POFQ I thought I'd start here. We'd like to go to Seaworld this year on our vacation. We have Busch Gardens Annual Passes and they are good for admission to SeaWorld. We are not renting a car and only using DME and Disney transportation around the World while we are there. So, we are trying to figure out the best way to get to SeaWorld. It will probably be easiest, although maybe not the cheapest, way to just take a taxi. Does anyone have any experience with this? How much would it cost? Is there another way; like a bus or something from another location? Or would we be better off just trying to get a rental for the day. Thanks!!

We just returned from an 8-day stay at POFQ, our first visit there, and our first moderate stay after a few years of deluxe resorts. Overall we were satisfied with this resort. We were able to check in at 10 a.m. , and to our surprise received a room facing the river. This location was a blessing in disguise, as we prefer a quiet atmosphere. During my evening/morning walks to the main building, I found it quite noisy with kids/teens playing in the grassy area and at the pool and was glad that our room was not near the main building, pool or courtyard.
The room and its furnishings were what I expected for a moderate resort. The bathroom was clean, and there was plenty of space to place toiletries on the ledge behind the tub. Also the vanity was very spacious, with a large shelf under the sinks. Water pressure was strong, and there was always enough hot water. There was a ceiling fan in the room, a plus for us, although it shook quite a bit when turned on and made noise.
Three things I found lacking in the room: 1) No lamps, or low lights. Either you had the main lights in the room, or the lights from the vanity area. 2) The mattresses were extremely lumpy and not very comfortable. 3) No luggage rack. It would have been helpful to have one of these to use in the closet area.
We were pleased with the layout and convenience of the resort, although the elevator was a small hassle. It was located on one end of the building rather than the middle, and our room was on the opposite side. We only ate at the quick service dining a couple times, but were happy to see a wide selection.
The decorations and ambience of this resort is eerily similar to the real French Quarter.... inlcuding the big steaming pile of horse poop on one of the paths to the main building.
And please, anyone who is not familiar with authentic New Orleans beignets, please do not mistake the beignets served in the POFQ restaurant as such. The ones served here were nothing more than fried pancake dough, and the only thing that resembled an authentic beignet is the powdered sugar (although this did not stop the kids from enjoying them!).
I'm pretty sure our room didn't have any grab bars or anything. I think you would need to ask for an accesible room to get that.
I just checked pictures on allears.net and there are definitely grab bars in the tub area.
I just watched a couple of YouTube videos and there were no grab bars in the Standard room bathrooms. These videos were after the rehab last year.
I'm not saying they aren't there, just that I didn't see them in the videos. AllEars POFQ room video from 2010 does show the bar.
Regarding grab bars: I just got back from POFQ on 2/13, and there were no grab bars in the tub/shower (standard/normal 2-queens room). As a PP said, you probably need an accessible room for that.
