Need Resort Recommendation: April 2019 Couples Trip

That’s a really long way to get back to the parks since bus from POR is pretty short ride to EP, DHS or MK. You’d get there faster just using bus from POR.

Not if you want to grab a beer at Raglan Road while waiting for the bus.

You post and directions did not say that and I find it very misleading. I agree it is a long, unnecessary way around

My husband and I had an adult trip in September and we chose POFQ. We got a king room because hey, no kids! Woohoo! We were assigned a ground floor corner room right along the river. It was lovey. I really like that POFQ has one bus stop and how compact it is. I don’t remember going to POR very often for additional guests, and we have stayed there a couple of times. I’m sure it did sometimes but it was never an annoyance.

I can't agree more with POR as a great choice, especially at this time with renovations going on on nearly every other moderate resort. Though, I would hope the renos would be complete by next April POR is a beautiful & relaxing moderate resort & we found it a nice "escape" from the theme park atmosphere. However, the biggest negative for us was the bus transportation. It seemed like there were always lines for POR & buses would show up in multiples for other resorts before 1 would get there for POR. We even took a bus to FQ one time because they had no line & POR was extremely long leaving a park one night. We got right on the FQ bus & walked from FQ to POR. It was a beautiful walk, but if that isn't your thing, then I would keep this in mind. Maybe it was just our timing. All that being said, I would still choose POR over any other moderate resort.

Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of walking (I have asthma) though I usually do well when I go at my own pace and I've never had a problem at Disney except when I had to drag my luggage across the bridge to my room at CSR but my boyfriend doesn't drive so he is used to it.

I guess this will be the dilemma POR or POFQ. When I stayed with my kids we pretty much hopped back and forth between the 2 (we stayed in POR but we loved the food court in POFQ) but I always rent a car when I have my 2 youngest they don't have too much patience for the bus system and they have anxiety. I find it better not to rent a car when it's just me or me and one other person since I will like to have a drink or 2.

It sounds like you would enjoy FQ more. It's a little more "lively" themed, but it's so small that you'd probably have less required walking to do there. But do try to get to POR & see Yehaa Bob at the lounge there....one of Disney's hidden gems & you'll be glad you did!
