Resort Thread Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER Resort

With Scat Cat being down for refurbishment, does anyone know if the mosaic tile craft is still available on Wednesdays at POFQ?

Yes it is, I believe they use the Scat Cat's Club Lounge, not the beignet Café which is currently being refurbished. I wish they hadn't used such similar names, it always confuses people.

And to make even worse, the Treasure is also going to have a Scat Cat Lounge. So, if you stay at POFQ pre or post cruise, that is 3 locations with the same name.
 

could you remind me what the best way is to put in a building request like this? Did you call?

I used online chat and asked them to note it on my reservation. They will tell you that there is no guarantee, but at least it's noted.

If you are a member of Touring Plans, you can have them put in your request as well.

I swear they don’t even look at requests. We just got back (2 different resorts) but neither of them had our bed rails in the room as requested. We were flying in late and wanted to get the 2 yo down as soon as we hit the resort (midnight) they did bring them right down but still……

Had an aunt that retired after many years as a housekeeper at disney and by policy, bedrails will never be in your room waiting for you. When you request them, they do make sure a set will be available for you when you arrive. But they won't have them in the room until you arrive and request them to be brought to you.

Interesting. I just wish they would have told me that when I called. I mean it all worked out and they were really prompt about bringing them, it was just late and we were tired/stressed

Another reason is because there is always the possibility the original room assigned could be changed for whatever reason and housekeeping would not know it is now a different guest in the room. Then they don't have to try and figure out where something was left, especially if a different guest was checked into the room originally assigned to you.

Yes, this is exactly the reason why.
 
Any ETA on the rest of the building refurbishments being completed?

Buildings 1 and 2 are now open with new room designs, buildings 3 and 4 are in progress (3 will be next to open) and 5, 6 and 7 have not been started yet.

Somewhere around middle of February for everything to be done, and probably just after Xmas for all of the remaining buildings to be closed/in progress (so no old room designs available any more).

Awesome, thank you! We are booked there for June so they all should be easily refurbed by then!
 
We've been trying to add a Friday and Saturday night to our December stay to no avail (6-8)... Keep hoping some of those refurbed rooms come into inventory soon!
 
We are planning a January trip and are wondering what the timeline for the food court closure is. Not sure if that should be a deal breaker. Will they still have beignets? We're considering other moderates but not sure how we feel about that. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!!

We are going in January and I am not too concerned. Even *if* there is work going on at Sassagoula's, they will still be serving food. It might be through mobile order like they have done at other resorts but food will be available.
