Came home yesterday from 11 mights at POFQ, boats are not running. One of the boat captains told me the water level is down by 1 1/2 feet. Also the kids water area was closed for the last few days of my trip.

And it is only going to get worse, with no rain predicted for maybe a couple of more weeks. We use to live in the Orlando area and we just talked to one of our friends there and they said it has consistently been in the 90's all of May and the heat index has reached 100+ a few times and they are expecting the heat index to be over 100 again this weekend. They said that every year it seems to be a little bit hotter and for longer. This was one of the main reasons we moved away from central Florida.

Here now…no boats or splash pad for the kids. And it is HOT!

Can someone who is at the French Quarter now tell me if they still carry distilled water in the gift shop. I know they did a few years back.

Splash pad is open again now. Boats will take a lot longer though, needs a lengthy and sustained period of heavy rain.

They do, but you may need to ask for it as it's not always on the shelf.

We wanted to see the jazz band at Scat Cat's but we don't care for the menu. Can we bring food over from the quick service?

I have seen people do it at Riverside when seeing Yeeha Bob' s show. May want ask before hand though.

Remember the staff at the bar are paid based on tips, so make sure you order at least some drinks from them and tip well.

There is a sign saying no outside food or drink to be brought into the Lounge, but I have seen people taking other resort-purchased items (e.g. food court) in with them, but it could be considered a bit rude to just sit there all night with a food court burger and a refillable mug.

Do the rooms have irons or steamers?

Has there been any rain? Checking in in 1 week & hoping the boats will be back.

Nothing of note, sorry. I rather doubt the boats will be operating soon enough for you, as the forecast is still mostly sunshine for at least a week.

Weather apps are your friend! Granted, it won’t tell you if the boats are running but it will definitely tell you about rain in the forecast! I periodically check the weather at WDW, even when I don’t have a trip planned.
