Resort Thread Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER Resort

Not really, most of them have trees or courtyards between you are the parking lot anyway.

Which is another benefit to FQ. At most Value/Mod resorts the parking lots are pretty close to the buildings so some standard rooms are really close to the parking lots. Great if you want that for a short walk but not great if you want some distance from the noise. The lot at FQ is more like the lots at a Deluxe resort, where they are all out front, not by the buildings.

Does anybody know if Amazon Prime now can deliver to the front desk or just the room. I would like to have our stuff be there before we get there.

Only front desk. There is no service that will deliver to your room before you get there. The only thing they put in your room without you there are bags from ME

I don't but hopefully someone else does. We always use Garden Grocer and never arrive on a Sunday so I've never checked

So happy to be here right now! My room was ready and I got my requests. I made a quick phone call to housekeeping to request an alarm clock. It arrived within a few minutes.

Is there a valet to help get luggage to our room?

When we stayed at A o A last March, I ordered from Amazon Prime, and the box was waiting for us in our room when we arrived...

We are supposed to go to Epcot on New Year's Eve, but I'm thinking it might be fun just to stay here.

Have you seen the fireworks at Epcot on New Year's Eve?

I know. There is no comparison. But it's just so peaceful here. I'm a bit nervous about the Epcot crowds tomorrow night, but we're definitely going.

Hi, all! We're looking forward to a visit to POFQ next summer. We've stayed at the All Stars and Polynesian, but POFQ would be our first moderate. We're planning on visiting in June and have DD 11 and DS 8. I'm thinking we might want to book a pool room. What are your thoughts on Garden View vs. Pool View?

All the views at this resort are good, except maybe the parking lot ones?

The exit crowds in particular will be huge. You might want to consider watching Illuminations from somewhere near France and then exiting via the International Gateway and get a cab or Uber back to Port Orleans from the Beach Club or Boardwalk.

Last year we spent New Year's Eve at the French Quarter resort. They had lots of activities, specialty drinks, entertainment and more. It was very fun and family friendly but with nice adult options.

I thought about cabbing or ubering back to POFQ from a resort, but I don't want to sit in traffic. I think I'll hang back and catch a bus when the crowds die down a bit. I'd rather stand on a bus, then sit in a car in traffic anyways. Weird, I know, but I'm a bit claustrophobic.

I'm with you on that one. I love to walk back round World Showcase the 'wrong way' and enjoy the thinning crowds, but I think after NYE it may stay busy (as will the traffic) for quite a while. As you say, just go with the flow and relax.

If you click on the building, and then a room, you can see what the view from each particular room is.

There are some views that are quite beautiful and others that are of a stairway... but either way, I'm not planning on looking out the window very often because I'll be in the parks or sleeping.

Just booked the carriage ride for my grandkids in June - Never done the carriage ride before - looking forward to it.
