Which would you prefer with a 4 yo ?
Almost a 30-minute walk? Hmmmm.....
I've stayed at POR 3 times (most recent was in September) and this last time we were in the third Mansions building (Magnolia) and by using the bridge over to Ol' Man Island it was a 5-minute walk, if that, to the food court so maybe a 10 minute "round trip." Even if we would have been in the furthest building I don't see how it could be as long of a walk as you say, unless you are very s-l-o-w walkers.
Have never stayed at the French Quarter, even though I keep saying we should try it. We just like Riverside so much, hate to try anything else and be unhappy.
The landscaping is so beautiful, it has a great food court, love the boat to Downtown Disney, and we love having more than one bus stop to choose from. In the Magnolia building the East stop is closer than the main (South) stop.
We're planning another trip (January 2015) and again planning to stay at POR.
We stayed at POR last September and then POFQ in February(big group of 12) and I much preferred FQ. It was so quaint, quiet, and small. Everyone thought it was awesome. We all vowed never to stay anywhere else POR is just too big IMO. The walk to the Food Court was annoying. We never went to go refill our mugs etc because it was almost a 30 min roundtrip walk! At FQ everything was never too far away. I thought it would seem too boring for my kids but they all loved it.
Just got back today from POFQ. This is my favorite Disney resort of the 8 we have stayed at.
I went to the PORR food court based on everyone's thoughts, and really was disappointed. I liked the POFQ food court better.
The bus service left a bit to be desired, and loved the boat to DT Disney.
The big advantage of POFQ is that everything is very close.
OK, I would REALLY like to know what you were disappointed about ?
Because the POR foodcourt offers, more selection, a greater seating section, and generally better all around service to the POFQ.
Did something go wrong ???
Let us know.
