Pop? POR? POFQ?

[luvsTink]

Have to decide NOW if I am going to change...
Who has stayed all all three and which one did you love the most and why???

Any advice would be much appreciated

Stayed at POR and POFQ but not Pop. I love POR and POFQ and don't think you can go wrong with either one. POFQ was my favorite but just went to POR again in Oct. and now it's up there with POFQ. My DH just stayed at an all star (I think music?) for the first time in Oct. and he thought it lacked the Disney magic. Good luck!

I have stayed at all three of those resorts, and out of the three, POFQ is my favorite. It is a lot more compact than either POP or POR. I also like the theming best there (although the theming at POP is very fun). Plus the rooms are newly renovated, and they are bigger than the rooms at POP. You'll also get the privacy curtain between the beds and the vanity area, which is a big help if you want someone getting dressed while someone else is eating, and the third person is in the shower Oh, and you get a fridge at the mods now, too. If you can swing the extra money for a moderate, I'd say spend the money and go to the POFQ.

We stayed at POP and Riverside-loved them both!

I have stayed at these two resorts and I really liked Pop.
Pop is a value resort, but I actually had a better time there.
The theming is really fun. Keep in mind the rooms are a little smaller but not much. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want a smaller resort I'd say go with POFQ. If you want a more party type atmospher go with Pop. Either way you can't go wrong.

Have fun.

We have stayed at all three. I would choose POR, large beautiful moderate resort. If you want to save some money then POP. Pop Century is the best of the value resorts in my opinion.

Do you have to pay or request the fridge at Port Orleans? We are currently booked at POR, and I assume they have fridges too.

Is just POFQ newly renovated or has POR been renovated too?

Can someone tell me how spread out POR is? I've stayed at the Swan/Dolphin, and never minded walking between the hotels. I just don't want to have to walk through a parking lot.

Are there other reasons to like POFQ better than POR besides the smaller area? I know POFQ has a pool slide, but can't you walk to that from POR?

I have stayed at all 3 and like them in this order:
1)POFQ
2)Pop
3)POR

I just loved the FQ. In fact, it is probably my favorite hotel there. Everything is compact and easy to get to and believe me after walking 40 miles through disney parks the last thing you want to do is trudge over half the state to refill your mug. Pop was nice but nothing special. However, during the night it was pretty spectacular when the lights and icons were lit up. My kids did like it although they loved FQ more(pool and boat to DTD were high on their list). Don't get me wrong on POR- it was beautiful. However, we missed many busses because they were full by the time it got to our bus stop and the walk to the main lodge area for refills and snacks was wayyyy too long. I had bone bruises on the bottom of my feet that trip and it was sheer torture to get around and at the POR you better be ready to walk.

I stayed at POP and POFQ on our trip in August. We visited POR to see Bob Jackson the pianoman. I really loved POFQ. It was so small and quaint. It is very strongly themed, but not over the top like many Disney resorts. My DH loved it and we almost stayed there on our next trip instead of AKL. I had both resorts booked for a while, but the animals tipped the balance . We also liked POP for a value resort. It's nicer that the All Stars, IMO. But ... it's a giant resort with no pool slide and no hot tub. I'd pick POFQ if you can afford it. You won't be disappointed.
