POFQ...NO DINING PACKAGE!

[helenm29]

So, can anyone tell me why POFQ doesn't get a dining package when PORS does? it's really frustrating as we are staying more then two weeks! does anyone think that we'll at least get a break on room rates with our annual passes? may have to try and change reservations but I still love the French quarter.

POFQ doesn't need to offer free dining to fill rooms

I guess not, but it sure would take a little off the bill.

Free dining was designed to fill empty rooms. It would be nice for you, but it is not necessary for Disney.
There are lots of other options for you if you would like the discount

It's honestly surprising they're even offering a room-only discount on POFQ in September. It usually never has a discount of any kind.

If you are talking about free dining, it is because FQ is a much smaller resort with less rooms to fill. If they are already filled, no need to offer a discount.

Disney only offers discounts when they need to. If a particular resort or room type or category isn't booking as quickly as they'd like, they may offer a discount or promotion to lure people in.

POFQ is small, and popular, and so is less likely to get discounts than other resorts. As the PP said, they've got no reason to discount it if it's going to fill up at full price.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to see a 20% discount for POFQ. I probably will go with that, as POR seems to only have FD for Royal Rooms. I am also considering AKL for free dining, as the cost there is the same as a Royal Room with upgrade to DDP! But will probably do POFQ, mainly because the small size, good theming, and hope that we can "sneak" into the hot tub area after walking around parks all day [more to rest legs, not anything nefarious].
