<font face="times" size="+0">Well, I have officially become a POFQ convert. It's now my favorite moderate resort!
We checked in on Friday night at 2:15am!! Very late flight, AND it was delayed 90 minutes, plus we had to drive to WDW from Tampa. We were so tired. I was scared that we would get a horrible room since we were arriving so late, so we did fax the room assignor and asked them nicely if they could block a room for us that met some of our requests (non-smoking, upper floor, corner room, courtyard view). I must send the POFQ assignor a nice thank you letter now 'cause it turned out that they did save us a good room that night even though the resort was at almost 100% occupancy.
We had a 3rd floor corner room w/ 2 windows facing the parking lot in building 7. It wasn't perfect (a courtyard view room would've been), but pretty good considering we arrived so late. We were the last ones to check-in that night, and the CM at the desk walked out after I rang the bell for assistance (no one was there when I walked in), and said, "Hey, I've been waiting for you." and he had all our info already printed out and ready.
I'm so happy that POFQ renovated their rooms, they are so gorgeous now, and I completely understand why some people have said it's as nice as a deluxe. Other than the outdoor corridors, this resort really is practically as nice as a deluxe. We used to talk about CSR being the deluxe of the moderates, well POFQ has now replaced that for us. The new coffee maker, and hair dryer in the room, and the <i>real</i> glass cups do make a difference. Our TV was huge! I think it was a 27" TV now that I think about it. We've stayed in many deluxe and DVC rooms where the TV is tiny. Heh.
The landscaping around the resort really is beautiful and delight to walk through. Pictures really don't do it justice. I'd obsessively looked at pics of the resort before I left, but the real thing is so much more beautiful.
We did try some beignets at the food court, and it was funny 'cause we got powdered sugar everywhere (bad day to wear a black shirt!).
BTW, I did notice that the doors in building 6's 1st and 2nd floors had non-smoking designations on them. I couldn't see the 3rd floor, so maybe those are still considered smoking rooms.
Anyway, I don't know what else to report about, so reply here and ask me any questions!</font>

(apparently there was some mix-up with luggage).
