I haven't seen the POR/POFQ bus music available for purchase anywhere. I love hearing it the first few times and then after a few trips, the crickets and banjos start to get to me.

 

[jeanylaser]

yeah me too! POFQ is a quiet place!

Maybe I am crazy, but the crickets and banjos make me smile.

Oh yeah, me too! After awhile though....but when I'm not there, I miss it.

I like it most of all coming home late from the park, all the little kids drowsy (well, most of them), everyone happy and tired after a fun day.

Has anybody checking in within the next 10 days had trouble doing online check in? We check in next Saturday (April 30th) and I've tried for the last three days to do online check in and haven't been able to do it. It keeps saying I didn't fill it out correctly. I've rechecked and rechecked and all the yellow areas are filled in correctly. What's up?

I just completed my online check in for May 1st. Here's some pixie dust that yours will go through the next time you try!

I am so excite that I just booked POFQ!!! Now I have to hope for an airfare sale so that I can actually take the trip!

The kids and I went solo the same week last year (week of June 20) and had a blast (DH has work trips that week each year). I had booked CBR for the pirate pool, but could not pass up the new princess rooms.

I do have one quick question for anyone who has been recently or going soon...

Does the food court have hot dogs? Kids or adult, does not matter. The POFQ unofficial site has them listed as a menu item, but all ears does not.

Thanks! My DD thanks you too, even more so if the answer is yes!

Hi so many days to wait until our trip. Would fellow travelers visiting within the next few days send us back their impressions and updates about experiences. The last few reviews were not as positive as I had hoped.

Thank you and Happy Planning.

I think that's part of why I love it. I associate the music with happy memories and a great day with my family.

Actually, allearsnet does have them listed at POFQ.

However, POR does not have them in the food court; you may have looked at their menu by accident. They have replaced them with other specialty sandwiches; they only have the cheeseburgers with the whole grain rolls now. No hot dogs.

My first day back to work after a trip to Florida to visit family. Since we have a Disney Resort Vacation booked, we decided to visit some other attractions. Sea World was great. They have a new baby killer whale! Universal Studios was a let down. I wanted to leave and demand my money back. The park was poorly designed with long walks to find something that wasn't just fascade. Most of the rides in Islands of Adventure are roller coasters or water park rides where you get soaked as if you planned to go in a pool. We "walked right into Harry Potter" in the morning - but it was packed tighter than sardines and I fled. Later in the day, we had to stand in a standby line put in direct sun mid-day in Florida! Universal also sells tickets (at over 100 bucks a head) to allow people to cut in front of you while you wait forever in line. The person who came up with that rude money hungry idea has no manners. Absolutely rude. If you pay the high resort room fees, they also allow you to cut in front of people in line. I will never go back to that park. I have better things to teach my kids. They no longer have Hanna Barbera, Earthquake, or King Kong!

Back in the real world - the first website I tuned into was this one, to read up on the happy, relaxing vacation that is 111 days away!

Have you tried a different browser? If not, I would suggest using a browser you do not normally use. If you have, then it may just be Disney's site being annoying.

I second this, I would love to hear some reviews/reports if anyone has time! December is such a looooong way off right now...
