Resort Thread Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER Resort

[andrewilley]

What time do the water taxi's to the Springs start running?
Also when does the last one(OF THE NIGHT) leave the Springs?

The ferries from the resort start at 10am, and the last return one leaves Disney Springs at 11:30pm (although if there are still people waiting or coming in via the internal water taxi, I've known them run an extra one on the way back to the docks to help guests out).

Just back from 3 nights at CSR and 3 at POFQ, first time at each resort. CSR was just okay, though the refurbished rooms are nice.

POFQ was wonderful. It's now my favorite non-deluxe resort and is pretty close to Poly and Beach for #1 overall. The only thing keeping it behind those two would be the convenience to parks, I love being able to walk or monorail to parks from those resorts. We faxed in a room request and got just what we wanted. Building 2, top floor.

No complaints at all, can't wait to stay again sometime.

One very tiny thing that drove me crazy: SO many cast members called it "French Quarters." That's not the name!!!

Hi everyone! Random question for anyone who is there now or has been recently! Do they sell 'slabs' of water in the food court/shop? I've seen some at some resorts. If so how much are they?? Thank you!!

Do they sell 'slabs' of water in the food court/shop?

What??? Do you mean multi-packs of bottled water? If so, the store sells cases of 24 small (12oz) bottle of Dasani for about $7.



Otherwise, the only slab of water I can think of would be a sheet of ice...

I think slab is australian slang, which is one of the best countries for slang that baffles americans.

Just switched from Riverside to FQ because we needed to add an extra day earlier and Riverside had no available rooms. So now we have a river view room! Only 103 days to go till we go! (First time too)

So as a Brit, I stand no chance at all then!

Sorry! I'm a Brit too - maybe I get the word slab from my Aussie cousins . But yes I meant multi-packs of water so thank you for answering! I'll try and speak the queens English in my future questions!

I'm planning on being at POFQ Feb 10 - 17th. With Mardi Gras being on the 13th, does anyone know if this will affect the crowd level both at the resort and the parks?

It didn't for us when we were there over Mardi Gras this year

We have 52 days to go and we haven't received anything yet.

I think they ordered it in anticipation of their trip. Likely via the parks app.

Just went to do online check in and one of the room request options is Toy Story Section. Have I missed something?

It seems to be a widespread glitch in the system. I just did online check in for my stay at BRV in September and it also gave me the option for "Toy Story Section"

Thanks for the confirmation. I know the system has some glitches so I figured that's what it was. Over at the campground you can request to be near the elevator.

Yes I did! Sorry for any confusion!!!

We did online check in for POFQ a few days ago and that particular glitch wasn't showing up, yet.

 

[Claire&TheBoys]

I just did my online check-in. "Toy Story Section" was not one of my options.

But, I was hoping to request building 5 or 6, and there wasn't an option for that. Just corner room, near transportation, and ground floor. I picked corner room, and ground floor. Do I need to call to have my building request put on my reservation? When we stay at CSR, we get to request which section we prefer.
