Hi we had a great time, the weather was perfect temps in the 80's, no rain only driving home thru newyork state wednesday.
Loved the Port Orleans French Quarter, what can I say the room decorating is simply beautiful , the bedspreads are so pretty look for the hidden mickeys in the bedspread, the beds very comfy, but I heard a lady complaining about the height of the beds for her little kids, the bed was the same height as mine at home, the soft blue on the walls, loved the curtain by the sinks very handy for getting dressed, the small ceramic tiles in the sink area are nice also, loved the colour of the carpeting, kind of a royal blue and teal green swirly leafy pattern. Large tv, bigger than our poly room. The first time we walked into the room we were in awe of the beauty.
We had two rooms, one being a corner room in building 4 nonsmoking room on the second floor, all the first floor rooms have a front lawn with shrubs, grass, palms, trees etc, so pretty.
Lots of shade trees for me, we took the boat to downtown disney, my son took the boat to riverside as he preferred the quiet pools, one of the manor buildings was under renovation, but there were people in the rest of them. The coffeemaker was nice as was the complimentary coffee in the room, it is now our fav mod resort. We did 4 nights here, then moved to 5 nights at the poly.
Poly, we love the poly, our room in tokelau was large great location, we had patio we could see the lagoon, and watch the boat back and forth to the transportation centre, had room l925, great location.
I love the grounds here, we used the quiet pool, not the volcano pool my kids are adults and like it a little quieter, We wish the poly room decorating, bedspreads walls would be a little more brighter decorating, it was kinda washed out looking after coming from the french quarter rooms, also the tv was small I think 20 inch for a deluxe resort, compared to the french quarter tv 27 inch
. I think this building is next for rehab, it was not rundown looking at all, very clean, but I thought the bathroom was a lot better decorated with the green counter and a beige/green shower curtain. Everything walls, curtains yellow/beige. Had a white stork like bird come and visit, and the mallard ducks mom/ dad with one leg and 8 babies would come every day for bread to our patio, the babies were not very old so cute. What a great mom she would chase all the other male ducks away and she chased the squirrel away, she seemed to detest the squirrel the most.
loved the size of the rooms and the sliding door is as wide as the room is maybe l6 or l8 feet wide, making for lots of light. Requested a coffeemaker in our room, but I had to keep asking for the coffee, and tipping the guy who would bring it, rather than the french quarter the maid left a few packages every day. We love the poly too.
The drive was great not too much construction we took 2and a half days down, stopping in beckley wv as we left at ll. a.m. instead of 5 a.m. (took 8 hrs) then, kingsland georgia (9 hrs), then into orlando. Coming home we drove 12 hours to beckley wv (hubby drove about 8 over the speed limit), and then home to hamilton in 8 hrs.

I must have missed something. I thought you said in your PM that you were just thinking about going. Here I was wondering just the other day if you had decided to go and you're back already. LOL
I look forward to going back there. We just love the whole ambience of the resort, and the pool there and at Riverside are a lot of fun for the kids.
i didn't bother as i also had my refillable mug. my favorite mod has been CSR but i'm really torn now between that and POFQ. maybe another visit to both would help me decide
