Just got back from our first visit to POFQ and we loved it! The fact that everything is so close makes it the most convenient resort we've stayed at. And it's so peaceful and relaxing!
We had a garden view room and ended up in building 3, second floor (3223 to be exact). Perfect location! Close to everything, but still quiet.
We did have a working fridge, which I had both faxed and called to request. Don't know if that helped to get one or if we just got lucky, but I was very happy to have one that worked!
In fact, we booked the Free Dining bounce back for next year and chose POFQ again! We actually just went with a standard view room since it doesn't seem like there's a bad room in the whole resort---I was actually surprised we could do the standard view and still get free dining, but I'll take it!
I think we've found our home away from home....
Yay!!! We just returned as well, and I booked a FD bounceback for next year too!!! I am super excited about it!
We were in room 6220 and we also had a new fridge... I was going to request one in my fax, but I decided to leave it up to the Disney Gods... I was very happy to have a fridge in my room upon check in. It sure kept items colder than then one we had last year - and I liked the compartments in the door... They were very nice for bottles of water/soda. The fridge was big enough to store a pizza box from left-overs at WPE. However, there wasn't a freezer compartment - but I did not need one, so it wasn't a big deal for me.
POFQ was amazing - as always! It is our favorite resort and always our first request.
The food court was great this time too - the food was excellent every time we ate there... And the CM who makes the beignets every morning always knew me before I got to the window. I love that they let me order the beignets, pay for them, then go refill our mugs - so just when I was finished, I could pick them up and walk out the door - it made everything very efficient!
We did not get too much time to spend in the pool area - considering it was Aug, I thought we would take full advantage - but by the time we were back to our room every night, the last thing on our mind was swimming.
But the grounds were beautiful... The CMs - I just cannot say enough great things about... Over our 10 day stay, we never met one single CM who didn't have a smile on their face. Fantastic!!!
For the most part - no problems with the busses... There were a few times we had to wait... A few times we had to run... And a few times where they were really crowded... but overall - it wasn't too bad.
I highly recommend this resort to anyone that asks. It is so nice to have a peaceful place to stay after the hustle and bustle of the parks.
