So excited! We have never stayed at POFQ before but I am really looking forward to it after reading this board. We check in on 10/18. Should I wait until Monday to do my room requests? And is faxing still the best way to do that?
Room requests via Fax is in this thread, see pg 1

I am set on POFQ for our August trip. I will be booking in January after SO gets the vacation time approved. I think we are going to do 8/20-8/29. We can always play with those dates if he has to work with certain days at work.
What kind of RO discounts are offered around this time of year?? We won't be doing the DDP anymore since it doesn't work for our family dynamics anymore (disney adult kid and we want to do less TS meals). We've always done free DDP in the past so I'm not sure what other discounts are offered around this time of year for this resort.
Historically, POFQ has had much smaller RO discounts than the other moderates if they are included at all. For example CBR, POR and CSR will have a 20-25% RO discount and POFQ will have 5%. And the rooms at that 5% off go fast. Disney uses discounts to fill rooms. With POFQ being very popular and small, they are running near capacity without offering discounts.
That could change for your dates, but that is how it's been in the past.
Hi everyone,
Hopefully I'm posting this is the right spot. We will be travelling to POFQ in March for 4 nights with my parents. My father is 75 and will just have completed cancer treatment (both chemo and radiation) about 9 weeks prior to our trip. Our family as a whole has been undecided about whether or not the trip will be too much for him, but he really wants to go and it is giving him something to look forward to as he ploughs through the ugliness of this disease.
I am wondering if anyone can offer some advice on which building to request (I know nothing can be guaranteed, but a request can't hurt). View is not as important as location - something that is easily accessible to the pool, food court and bus stop. I have never been to this resort so I'm a little at a loss.
Thanks in advance!

I was really hoping for a 20-25% discount. Might have to change our resort. We do love CBR also so we shall see.

dani7776 and Minnie&Nana - thank you for the input, especially the phone number! I'm not sure if there are standard view rooms in building 5
Don't worry too much about whether the rooms are Standard or otherwise; for medical issues they can easily switch a category for you, so as to give you what is technically a Garden View room, but closer to the main areas. I would agree that 4 or 5 are the best buildings for you - there is one room in building 4 which is quite literally 20 yards from the food court door:
Good luck to your dad for his treatment, I hope it goes well.

dani7776 and Minnie&Nana - thank you for the input, especially the phone number! I'm not sure if there are standard view rooms in building 5, but I did call and explained the situation and ask that we are not placed in building 1 or 7, as those seem to be the most out of the way. Thank you also for the well wishes. We are remaining positive that he is going to get through this and have a wonderful time in the sun in March!
#1) where exactly are the laundry facilities? #2) does anyone know the current status of the boats to dd next week, specifically Wednesday and Friday evening?? Heard they might not be operating on the regular schedule due to the dragon boat races. #3) when renting a boat at the por marina, how far exactly can you go with it?
