Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

Does anyone have a photo of the splash pad?

I'd like to use a hanging shoe organizer at POFQ when I go next month to keep the room tidy. Is there a door in the rooms that would work for this? I couldn't tell from the photos I've seen. Thanks!

Over the hanging rail in the wash area maybe?

The bathroom door does open in so I'm not sure if that would work. You could use the bar that you'd normally hang clothes on to the right of the sinks.

Can you tell me more about Prime Pantry and what you would order? I was thinking of having some disney gifts sent ahead of time that my girls wouldn't know about, and ask housekeeping if they could set them up in the room as a surprise.

I am ordering bottled water, gatorade, microwave popcorn, chocolate bars and graham crackers (to make s'mores at the marshmallow roast), and quick snacks like fruit snacks and apple sauce in the squeeze container. Flat rate shipping is $5.99 but if you have Prime and have made a purchase before (or will make one) choosing slow shipping, sometimes that give a $5.99 credit for Prime Pantry making your shipment free.

there are shelves above the sink and under the sink. Lots of storage space. I think the shoe organizer would be annoying in this particular set up.

I've never stayed at a Disney hotel before, is it really that common/normal/okay/easy to order food & drink deliveries to the hotel? Can it just be delivered to bell service? And how much would fit in the fridges in POFQ?
We've both got a fair range of food allergies, so being able to have some suitable snacks would be a great help!

I was beyond impressed with PoFQ. We just returned from a week stay after routinely staying at deluxe resorts for the past visits. I would go back to PoFQ or POR in an instant.

Given that deluxe resorts have become so unreasonably expensive, I can see us returning here for our 2017 visit.

The Pros- Small, compact, & quiet resort. The main pool was relatively quiet. Very clean rooms. Best bus service we've experienced on any trip.

The Cons- Uncomfortable beds, less than "magical" CMs at the Food Court (they looked so sad; frowning), small bathrooms

Can you tell me more about the "uncomfortable beds?" What made them uncomfortable?

This is not my first time staying on site, but will be my first time staying at POFQ as well as having items delivered. I called the resort and was told that they would hold the box for me for up to 10 days. It's very common to order things and have then delivered. I have read about Garden Grocer on here before. Guests do it all the time.

Every trip we have stopped at the resort's market place and purchased items to keep in the room as snacks. It makes more sense to me to just order and have them delivered for a fraction of the cost.

I am not sure how big the fridges are but I am assuming they are mini fridges. We are buying items that do not have to be refrigerated and whatever we want to keep cold, we can replenish as we use them.

I just received my welcome packet for my June stay! I'm so excited. It is our second visit and first at a resort, so I'm hoping POFQ is as great as everyone says. Thank you everyone for the great info on this page. I will keep lurking.

Welcome packet?

Prime Pantry is an Amazon service, it's for groceries. We're mainly using it to get a few cases of water. I also threw in some Nature Valley bars, and other snacks for the room.

Do you need to be a Prime member to use this service?

Do you need to be a Prime member to use this service?

Yes, but you can sign up for a free trial of Prime if you haven't before. I think it's 30 days.

Thank you Will definitely consider this in September then

Any review on the beds at FQ?

Welcome packet?

What kind of "welcome packet" did you receive? We received a small booklet about a month ago from WDW with some general details about our trip and reservations. Is that what you mean?

I am thinking this might only be sent when you book a trip with the Disney travel folks, or a TA that uses them. The trip I did with the magical folks I don't think I got the little packet because it's a "convention" or group reservation, and not booked directly with Disney.

I could be wrong, but didn't get the packet or the luggage tags (did get the Magic Bands and Magical Express yellow tags though).

Exactly. It gave the details of the room, dining plan, that sort of stuff. Not much, but still that first bit of Disney magic that made the trip seem real.

I remember when I got mine, I was SO excited. My husband thought I was crazy, lol.
