and loved it. We had stayed at CBR last year and were lucky enough to get a building next to the food court. After walking around a little we decided not to book there again as we were afraid of not being close enough to food court, main pool etc.
After much research we decided on POFQ for our most recent trip and I can assure you we were not disappointed. The atmosphere around the resort is just so relaxing. We found the size of the resort to be fantastic. Nothing was too far away from any part of the resort.
Watching families take carriage rides past our room in the evenings was magical. Seeing the Downtown Disney boat head in and out of the boat dock was pleasant was well. We really enjoyed to quietness of the whole resort. As the weather warmed up going into the week the pool was kind of crowded, but the only real problem was the lack of floatation devices for the little ones. There were plently of lounge chairs to be found, both in the sun and in the shade.
Just a small note, the first two days we were there it was quite chilly and the don't run the boats to DTD or Riverside when its cold. I did see a shuttle bus to Riverside outside the front of the resort on Saturday. I quess that was for people going just to and from the two resorts for dinner at Boatwrights. This way you did not have to rely on a Park bus to get you to Riverside.
As for the some of the problems people have reported with Mousekeeping, we didn't have any. We were left "towel" animals etc every day. The room was neat and if they found anything the kids left on the floor it was placed on the bed and found there upon our return. We were even given extra pillows approximately 5 minutes after calling for them (DH has a bad back and needed them to sleep each night.) Our mousekeeper even straighten out all of our shampoos etc in the shower each day.
I recommend this resort wholeheartedly. We are even planning on staying again when we return next year.
Hope this helps anyone interested in the resort make up their mind.
