    Your First Time

    Tiggerpenny! I can almost say "DITTO" to your post!! My first trip was also in April 1974 and I was also 9 years old. I have never visited during Star Wars weekend ... our last trip was November 2011 and our next trip is coming up in a few weeks! Remember the color coded tickets (I...

    Mickey Mail and Magical Express

    During our last visit to WDW, we noticed signs all over the airport providing directions to DME making it very easy to locate. Have a great trip!!

    Just back 5 days Pop/5 days WL

    Thanks for the informative review. We have been considering a WL stay one of these days ... hopefully sooner than later. May I ask how you moved your luggage from one resort to the other? Did you have to take a taxi or does Disney accommodate resort changes and move luggage for you? I have...

    Is a car service better ...?

    Thank you DIS family. I was leaning toward a car service but now there are no second thoughts!! Your advice is always so much appreciated.

    Is a car service better ...?

    In less than two months :yay: our flight arrives MCO approximately 11:15PM. We are contemplating a car service to the POFQ and bypassing the DME. Has anyone ever come in late and used the DME? How long did it take to get to your resort? We'd appreciate feedback, opinions, etc ...

    POFQ room location question

    Looking at a map - building 4 is closest to the bus stop. We've never stayed there but from what I've read, it's relatively small and walking to anything within the resort is minimal. We'll be staying there for the first time in November. Have a great trip!!

    Late arrival - Magical Express - luggage?

    We will be arriving around 9PM on 11/5 and plan to manage our own luggage. By the time we arrive to the resort and get settled, it will probably be about 10:30. I wouldn't want to stay up late waiting for luggage to arrive to the room. I agree that you will like having your luggage with you...

    Movies or other value?

    We've stayed at all the values except AoA. My personal favorite is Music. We had a preferred room overlooking the main pool and wouldn't have had it any other way. It was colorful, vibrant, and fun. We had no issues with buses, and the food court was perfect for us. We stayed at Movie...

    Rethinking my resort choice....

    I could have written this post - LOL - although our next trip is with a six year old so romance goes righto out the window. The reviews on POFQ have been on opposite sides of the bell curve so I'm not sure what to think about the place either. We will be arriving in less than two months and we...

    At POFQ... And...

    Oh no! Sorry to hear things aren't going well. We are booked at POFQ for our November trip and this will be our first stay at that resort. Hope you can resolve the issues and enjoy your vacation.... Should I be concerned?

    Next round of Fastpass testing 9/18

    Well said! Rarely bother w/ ADR either - I'd rather live in the moment at WDW.

    Just back from 9 days at POFQ (Aug.26- Sept 3rd)- Quick review.

    Thank you for this review. We will be staying at the FQ for the first time in a couple of months. I am so looking forward to it - especially after reading your review. We were going to stay at a preferred room at PORS but AAA did not have access to discounts for preferred rooms at PORS...

    Just booked our first stay at POFQ!!

    Thanks for the feedback! We've stayed at all the values (except AoA), CBR and the campground as well as a couple of off-site places. We are so looking forward to this new experience.

    At CBR now and....

    We loved CBR too! The rooms are a generous size and the grounds are beautifully kept. We were actually stranded there in 2004 for two days when Disney had to shut down because of hurricane Frances. Everyone was expected to stay in their rooms until the hurricane moved away. Needless to say...

    Opinions Needed - POP vs PORS

    Funny you should mention your mother. I am thinking about bringing my mother on this trip. She is 72 and would appreciate the quiet.

    Opinions Needed - POP vs PORS

    Thank you Jennifer. I am definitely leaning toward PORS. It's always fun to try a different resort so this is a great opportunity. We won't have a car so I'm mostly concerned about the buses. Your review was fantastic.
