POFQ Pool Closed

[Lilolvr]

Would any of you consider changing over to Riverside as being an upgrade or being compensated for the French Quarter pool being closed?

No, you can use their pool anyway. At POFQ at least you will be picked up first and dropped off first on the share buses. I would only switch if they upgraded you to a deluxe.

I wonder if perhaps a significant problem necessitated a repair not in the original plans? I too think it is odd that they would choose to have both the CBR pool and the POFQ pools down during the same time period.

However, there were big issues with the POFQ pool when we were there in September of this year. None of the problems caused us an issues other than a minor delay of the slide being open and the occasional shut down of the slide. Dh had several conversations at different points with lifeguards and other personnel at the pool and it was mentioned that they had a major leak they could not get under control. Just wondering if this is related?

I am so sorry for those for whom this impacts! We are huge swimmers also and we would hate for the pool to be off limits. I think I would switch to another resort. If mods were full and deluxe not in the budget, I would book a value and add water park options to the tickets. I have not run the numbers, but with two rooms for us and the 4 kids, I would imagine the costs would equal out with the room downgrade and the tickets.

Well this answers any questions I had. Thanks

Noooooo

We swim on our breaks, now to have to walk over to POR every day....

I guess we'll have to vote on it tonight, move to a different resort, or as my DS 11 would say "Deal with it! "

Just remember.. that there are changing rooms usually near each pool at Disney resorts.. I'm curious now if they have them at the pools at POR. They certainly have them at all the values.. and at other mods (like CSR)

Well, we discussed it and "Deal With It " wins. I am so glad my family agrees, because I have wanted to stay at POFQ for years .
