Can someone answer if the boat service to Disney Springs is operating?
"New Routing for Port Orleans–Riverside
New routing has begun at Disney's Port Orleans Resort–Riverside. Service from Riverside to all 4 theme parks will begin at West depot then proceed to North, East, and South all day. Disney Springs buses will service the South depot immediately after the first stop at the French Quarter."
You may want to reconsider staying at POR in January, February and possibly even March of 2016. The main pool will be closed. But they are generously going to provide golf carts to haul you over to POFQ if you don't want to walk or boat over. This will also have an impact on guests at POFQ having to share the pool with the guests from their sister resort. Letters went out two days ago about this inconvenience. If you don't plan on using the main pool/snack bar no worries.
We were there one year when the pool was closed. It was winter so no big deal, esp since there is the option of going to one of the quiet pools. They did have the carts going back & forth that we used once, but not to get to the pool, but to POFQ food court .I've known that for weeks. It's not new information. The pools are shared anyway. We already planned on going to POFQ so our little one could enjoy the theming at the pool there. It's not a huge deal for us, and I suspect most folks traveling in mid-winter are less pool-focused than other times of year.

Are the quiet pools heated? Wondering how cold they will feel at the end of March when we are there.
As Andre says, all pools are heated, but it's the air temp when getting out that may be cold. I'm not sure what the temps are in March. We go in The end of January & August. Temps in January fluctuate. I have swam mid day in January when it's warmest. Can get into high 70's.Are the quiet pools heated?

Andre...Looking forward to being at my Home Sweet Home on Dec. 17th ! I have read through your port orleans website about faxing room requests. Do you suggest a template, or just writing a short letter? If a template, where can that be found? Thanks for all your help!!!
Thank you!There is a template here on the DIS (see FAQ post at start of thread for link) but personally I'd suggest writing your own, it's more personal that way.
