POFQ buses?

[720L]

How are the POFQ buses? And if you've stayed at POP, how are they compared to POP? thanks!

I haven't stayed at POP but I have been at POFQ twice and the buses were great! We were the first stop, and most mornings didn't stop at POR but a few mornings made one stop, and once or twice made two but never through the whole four at POR. We also were the first off from the parks, although we were the last off from DTD the night we missed the boat so I wouldn't recommend that. Are you thoroughly confused???
The buses were quick, we never waited long, and the drivers were pleasant. No problems with the buses whatsoever in 11 nights and 12 days.

We've stayed at Pop(once) & will be spending our 3rd visit at POFQ this April.
As the previous poster stated, no problems at all with the buses at POFQ.
When we stayed at Pop, there weren't any problems with the buses other than it was very crowded a couple of the evenings during the ride back to our rooms. Of course, these were nights that we stayed until the parks closed and it was completely understandable.
I think I prefer POFQ but that's probably because I know what to expect. I also like this resort more because it's more attractive (to me) and has a more relaxing atmosphere(quieter). Have fun planning!

We didn't have any trouble with the busses either. I also liked that they had separate busses for POR and POFQ during the rush after fireworks. Not sure if they do this all the time, but when we went it was raining awful, and they had separate busses for each resort.

We have stayed at the POFQ 3 times and the POP once.
The bus service at POFQ is FAR superior to that at the POP in our experience.

The best thing about the POFQ is that, with the exception of the DTD runs, it is the first place to pick up and the first to drop off. (When sharing with the POR) We never had long waits for buses and we almost never had to stand.

One of the reasons we probably would not choose the POP again is the bus service. In the mornings there were long lines for the parks (especially the EE park) even an hour before that park was due to open) We had to wait for 3 buses to come, fill up and leave before we could get on one to the MK. We just BARELY made it for the park opening.
When we stayed for WISHES we took our time leaving the park and spent almost 45 minutes strolling through the shops on main street. When we got to the Queue for the bus, iThe POP line streched all the way back down the bus stop pavilion (it was the farthest one down too!) We waited for more than an hour to get a bus, then we were packed like sardines, for the LONG ride back to the resort.
I know that this is not allways the case from reading other peoples reports, but this was our experience. (we were at the POP mid week during the 2nd full week of November)
Hope this helps!

In my opinion, POFQ busses are wonderful.

You are the first to be picked up and first to be dropped off. In all the times I stayed at POFQ, we never shared a Magic Kingdom bus with POR headed to the park...only on the way back.

The only moderate whose bus service I have not used is CBR...of the other three, POFQ is by far the best.

This blows away the value busses by the way. A lot less people, shorter lines and not always as crowded.
