Resort Thread Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER Resort

I started a thread asking this same question but thought I should ask here. I am going to POFQ over Thanksgiving week :goodvibes but have a few concerns :confused3. We have several pool days planned I our schedule and I am worried since there are no quiet pools like the other moderates that It may be super crowded the week I am there. Has anyone ever been to POFQ during a busy week and experienced over crowding with the resort or should I stop worrying? Thanks!

We stayed there at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Due to small size of resort, it is a lot less busy than others, so you will have no problems. Favorite resort, enjoy!princess:
 
We will be staying at POFQ in a little over two weeks. I've stayed at POR a couple of times but this will be my first time at POFQ. I cannot wait!!

We'll be there in just over 2 weeks too! Our second time at POFQ & we just love it there!
 

Made final payment for our trip today. So excited. Going for a quickish trip for my son's first birthday! :) Now if I Can just get a Star Wars character meal reservation.
 
Does Yeehaa Bob play continuously, or are their multiple shows?

Been to POR multiple times, and some how keep missing him.
 
Now I have to figure out this whole Magic Bands and Fastpass + thing.

I just wanted to share my excitement. :cheer2:

Congrats, its always fun to have the trip booked.

But dont fear, Magic Bands arent too hard to figure out. First step is customize. IE: What color do each of you want? Make your way to the My Disney Experience section of main disney world site and do that. They tend to mail them about a month out.

The next step is if you are 60 days out from the first day of your trip. Thats when you can book FastPass + for the entire stay. Currently its one park, 3 selections. If you dont like the times it gives you, you can edit. When I did it, you could only edit to the top of the hour.... while the auto select would give you times like 930-1030 or 1155-1255.

If you have the dining plan or intend to eat at sit down restaurants, you can also tie your dinner reservations to the band.

The one question I want to find out is if the Disney Chase card discount can be detected on the magic band. Does anyone know that one? I figure I would ask at the POFQ check in desk.

Thank you, I was able to do the magic bands and ADRs. Tomorrow is my day for fast passes. :cheer2:

I was amazed at what great ADRs we could get in such short notice.

Sorry I don't know the answer to you question.
 
He has a break around 10pm, during which he often chats, signs autographs, etc.

Thanks. One more question, do people usually leave or stay the entire time through. I'd like to show up at about 10:00, but am afraid of not having a good seat (or even just a seat, lol). I know he is worth it, but I'd like to see him later in the night.

Some families will leave after the first session, so yes you'll probably be able to find somewhere to sit. Might be busier on a Saturday night, so a weekday might be a good choice.

Good luck. Took me an hour to get mine just how i wanted them. Had no issue getting every ride I could fast pass / wanted to fast pass lined up. Hopefully yours will go smoothly.

Changing them to fit the schedule i wanted was the most time consuming part.

What dinner reservations were you able to get?

Sorry I don't know the answer to you question.

Its no problem, I will have an answer once I get there. Thinking not.... but who knows.
 
My ADRs are the following:
Sci Fi, whispering canyon cafe, liberty tree tavern, le cellier, tutto italia, the wave.

Except for BOG and Cinderella's royal table, I still had lots of options to choose from. We are are all adults so we can eat at just about any time of day.

:dance3:
 
Glad that I found this thread! Headed down to POFQ in 2 weeks... First time at the resort, excited to check it out!
 
They do not tie the magic bands to any discount. (Visa, annual pass, tables in wonderland, etc).
 
For those that have used Magical Express, how long did it take to receive luggage after checking in at the resort?
