[Cajun23]

Great. Thank you. We leave this week and hoping to get a new room. It sounds like it may be able to fit all of our valuables.

Also, John must have spent a LOT of time at the bar

Well, darn, I saw this thing on the door but didn't try to do anything with it!

I didn't go over to check Building 7. Just too cold! Checking out in a few minutes to head home

Here now. Looks like most of building 6 and 7 are now closed. Part of 6 overlooking river may be open and very small part of 7.

We are here now and I asked about pool closing. They said the hot tub will remain open. I didn’t think to ask about the kids play water area but will ask this morning.

The pool is going down again? Wasn't it just closed for rehab?

Update: All of 6 is closed and most of 7 (waterfront 7 still open)

I wonder how they are handling the situation regarding elevator access, as the elevators are located in the block furthest from the river.

Hmmm…good question. The windows on riverside of 7 were not taped up like other areas so I assumed they are open. Maybe they just haven’t been taped up yet.

It is a short closure. I can’t remember how long. I forgot to ask about the water play area but hopefully I will see tomorrow if the water is running in it or not

Ok, thanks for the clarification! I'll be staying at POFQ in mid-February so I'm hoping the pool will be open then.

It's only for a few days, quoted as 16-21 Dec but that could change slightly of course.

.....and of course, that's when I'm there. The 20th through the 23rd. But it's February, so it could be too cool to go swimming anyway.

No just a few days this week. Not in February. You will be fine (and hopefully you have some swimming weather if you want to use pool)

 

[MinnieMSue]

The splash area and hot tub are definitely open. Can’t tell what they are doing to pool as walking by right now it looks normal and filled.

How is this resort with ECV? My mom is joining us last minute & not sure if I should switch. We will be there Jan 11-16

Fine, why wouldn't it be? Any particular concerns?

Just the bus situation. We have only done this in Coronado & they were great. Also is it possible to use the ECV on the boat to Disney springs?

Yes, you can take an ECV onto the buses and the boats - you will get priority boarding before the other guests in fact.

Any update on room refurbishments? We are doing a Mardi Gras trip the first week of March. Do we think that the FQ renovations will be finished by then?
