POFQ First-Timer!!

[prgal0715]

Calling all POFQ experts! I got a great deal on a river view room for January and couldn't say no. I've stayed at POR a few times, but know nothing about FQ. Any recommendations for room requests? (Online check-in is Tuesday!) Any general tips and tricks for this resort? TIA!!

Hi OP we have had river view in bldg 1, 5& 6 along with pool view in 2 which also has riverview along with bldg. 7. It is such a compact resort everything is close by. If you want to be closer to the food court and buses request 2 or 5. If you want to be closer to POR (we walk up several times a trip) ask for 6 or 7.
We have stayed on all 3 floors and have had no real issues with noise or traffic.
Check the map for shortcuts it can save time especially if you do walk up to POR

We stayed there for the first time in September. We were in building 6 with a river view room and found it to be a great location. It was so quiet that we never heard another guest all week. The walk to the food court and pool was very quick as the resort is so small. From our building, we could walk straight out towards the parking lot to get to the buses w/o having to go through the main lobby and it was always a very short walk. We loved it so much that we can't wait to go back. Have fun!

Ask for a corner room-you will get two windows and the room will feel much bigger. Stop in at the front desk and get some beads. Have a great trip-you are staying at a gorgeous resort.

The only things we heard were the boats with the river view rooms.

We usually stay at POR but did stay at POFQ once. We had a GV and loved the resort. I enjoy walking along the river, seeing the boats and carriage rides go by. There's a new lounge entertainer we haven't seen yet, but we love Bob Jackson's show at Riverside. Be sure to get the Bengiets yummy.

We just stayed on the 3rd floor in a river view room at POFQ in building 6 and it was PERFECT! We requested buildings 5 or 6 and got room 6338. I prefer POR and my husband prefers FQ and after this trip I really questioned which resort I prefer!

DW and I have stayed at POFQ 5 or 6 times and have never had a bad room !! We've had rooms on every floor and have been close to the lobby and "far" from the lobby and enjoyed every trip !! The nice thing is the short walk to POR for a sit down meal .Enjoy and have a terrific trip !!!

We have stayed in buildings 4 and 5 twice each. The last time we stayed here we were not able to get our requests of 4 or5, they had us in 2. Well, we were pleasantly surprised, it ended up being our favorite building. Still a quick walk, well just about everything is anyway due to the smaller size of the resort. Plus, it was a little bit more secluded and nicer views (at least for us). One good thing is nothing is far, so I am sure you will be happy wherever you are

Have a great stay. POFQ is on my bucket list.

You cannot go wrong with any building at FQ. I love how small and quaint everything is. Short walks to everything. The boat to Disney Springs is very relaxing. It is our absolute favorite. Hope you have a great stay.

We just got back from a great trip to POFQ!! It was an anniversary trip for us, so no kids. The resort was beautiful and quiet! We used the pool every night after the parks, which was very relaxing. We were in building 7, but it never seemed too far away. It was a short walk to POR to watch Bob and have some drinks. What a lovely resort!!

You all are making me so excited for my stay at POFQ!!! I love trying new resorts!

 

[dekraut]

I am excited too - we have never stayed at a resort hotel before, and usually camp at Fort Wilderness.

We will also be in a River View room in January at POFQ! I think we asked for Bldg 6 third floor - the views on the TP website looked so awesome from those rooms!

Just want to chime in with the rest of the posts on how nice a resort POFQ is. We had a corner room and liked it very much, too many years ago to remember which building we were in. And don't forget to take the trip up the path to it's sister resort POR. It is a short walk; but you also have the bus or boat to take as well.

We'll be staying at FQ for the first time in May and I'm so excited!! We've stayed at Riverside 4 times so we're really looking forward to the compact size of FQ.
Still hoping for some type of discount. We've gotten a pin code the past few years but nothing thus far.

I read somewhere not to get a ground floor room because of snakes. Is that just paranoia? Cause I'd be scarred for life and need to sleep at night.

Some idiots leave their doors propped open which, for ground floor rooms, invites the wild-life. You're quite unlikely to find any extra guests in your room, but you're obviously more unlikely on the higher floors.
