POR - FQ or Riverside Royal Room

[luvsvacations]

For a difference of about $25 a night (but I need 2 rooms), I can get either. I am looking at easy /convenient to get to pool and lobby. My niece can walk small distances so to not have to use her wheelchair at the resort would be nice. I hear FQ is small but the royal rooms are preferred but that Riverside is really big. This is for December. Thanks

The lobby and pool at POFQ are close together and central to the resort.
Everything at POR is spread out. You’ll need to cross a bridge to get to the lobby and a different bridge to get to the main pool. There is a quiet pool near the Royal rooms though.

I’d choose POFQ if you need to walk shorter distances.
As a bonus at POFQ, the Christmas decorations and jazzy Christmas music make it a perfect resort to stay at in December.

Thank you. Seems the more I read the more confused I got!

This is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth........the Royal Rooms are TIRED. I stayed in one in August for 1 night sandwiched between 2 stays (family and then girl's trip) in the Alligator Bayou section. They actually had moved my friends and I to the Royal Room for our entire stay as they had some issue with the original room they assigned and were trying to keep me from having to switch rooms 90 times. But after my one solo night prior to them arriving, I requested we be moved to AB. If your niece is young, she may love it. For me......it just felt really old and dated compared to the rooms in Alligator Bayou. My daughter is a CM and has us booked for Royal Rooms for an upcoming trip because they were at an amazing price, but I am REALLY hoping they will move us.
