Port Orleans French Quarter FAQ thread - Refurbished for 2011 - Now CLOSED

[Disney before Sally]

I received a magical express booklet today with one luggage sticker tag for each person.

Shouldn't I have received an official receipt with all details?
Shouldn't I have received a plastic luggage tag per person?
Shouldn't I have received all the coupons we do not plan on using?

 

[FloridaDreaming]

The magical express envelop comes separate. You should be receiving the rest of you goodies (and not so goodies) soon.

It will be here before you know it. I had planned our December 2010 trip way out. It is hard to believe that it has come and gone.

I don't know how I managed to do that, but I counted one too many years before we're back... So in one day, we just won a full year. You never know how fast time passes! Seriously, it fits even better the MNSSHP and, the MVMCP!

So now, we officially are 2 years, 3 months and 3 weeks (doesn't look as nice as 3-3-3, but who is counting anyway?) away from our next visit and we chose POFQ because you all say it's a compact resort DD will enjoy the most, not too much walking when she is not using the wheelchair!

See you soon...er!

Poussière de fée!

 

[Clochette nordique]

Wow sounds like you have great trip planned !

Well, I learned with the pros on DISBoard!

Your story brought tears to my pre-menopausal eyes. I was wishing for a stroke of good fortune. Cheers!

Just back from POFQ. I want to thank all of you for your great input that helped me pick this resort. It was awesome, and I highly doubt we will stay at any other mod again!!! (of course, the next trip is probably a few years away...)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Can someone who has just returned please tell me what color mugs they have now, I read no yellown, only pink, blue and black. Other resorts are posting other colors.

Yes, I only saw pink, blue, and black at POFQ. I did not see anyone else in the parks carrying any other color than those three.

I wonder if maybe they just ran out of the yellow? When we were at POFQ this past May, I wanted a pink one. All they had were the black, yellow, and blue. I asked and the CM said they did have all four colors, but had run out of the pink ones apparently. We walked over to PORS to get my pink one. Two days later POFQ finally got some more pink ones in.

By chance, does POFQ have wifi spots?

I read a while back that a pilot wi-fi access was happening at select locations at CR and CSR, but haven't read about it continuing or being expanded to other resorts. If anyone has any updates on wi-fi at POFQ, please post!

No juice, sorry. Still pomegranate lemonade or fruit punch (which looks bright enough to be radioactive to me) though.

We are booked to stay our first night in downtown disney to save $ since we are flying in late and can't use the extra dining day due to flying out early upon checking out. How do we get to POFQ from downtown so we can drop our bags off at FQ and make it to MK by opening time? The ferry starts running at 10 and the buses at Downtown disney start running at 8:30. Is there anything earlier? Our other choice is to stay at another hotel but even the POP is going to be a problem getting to FQ that early correct? THanks for your help. If anyone knows of a cheap hotel that is close to FQ please let us know. Going Aug.1st.

 

[andrewilley]

Realistically, I think you need to look into getting a cab from your first hotel to POFQ.

If POFQ upgrades its Coke dispensers like the ones at AS Sports, I think new mug colors may be offered.

When I was there (June) we got pink, black, blue, and yellow - though I realized later my yellow one had a yellow lid but a blue handle (everyone else had a matching lid and handle).

The pomegranate lemonade is so gross! We all hated it.

There were no wi-fi spots there. I don't know about CSR, but I did hear from someone at the Contemporary that there were wi-fi spots there.

Yes that Pomegranate lemonade is NASTY! And, so many places have it throughout WDW. When in a restaurant they will even sometimes say they have "Lemonade" and then bring out that icky stuff. Some places still do have regular lemonade though. We finally started asking... is it regular or pomegranate before we ordered it!

 

[MHSweb79]

I have to agree. The problem is that it's loaded with artificial sweetener and I didn't realize it. I had 2 glasses at Tusker House and was sick for 2 days. I even missed my lunch at LeCellier the next day because my stomach just couldn't take it.

Avoid the pomegranate lemonade....
