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

[Avonlady1001]

Welcome!!! POFQ is a great resort as is CBR. I would absolutely switch (I have stayed at both resorts in the past) to save $700. Enjoy!!!

We stayed at CBR last time & enjoyed it. I prefer port Orleans (either side) but if the discount was big enough we'd stay at CBR again. Its beautiful also...just in a different way. They have a thread too...go check it out & then decide. . Either way you are in Disney!

Is there still a free arcade card with a MYW package? Which arcade is better - POFQ or POR? TIA

We just booked a trip for this Halloween - Nov. 8. I didn't realize they have queen beds now so I am super excited. We stayed here 4 years ago and usually try to hit a new resort each trip. POFQ is our favorite and I am hoping to walk over to POR this time. Is it closer to building 7 or is POR on the other side? Do we walk along the river to get there?

Thanks!

Yes you still get the arcade voucher. It's not for a dollar amount anymore. You get 100 play points, whatever that is.

Yes there is an arcade card for 100 points (which doesn't get you very far) with the MYW package. The POFQ arcade is quite small. I have heard, though I haven't been there myself, that POR has one of the bigger resort games arcades. We'll be checking it out ourselves in just a few days!

Yes, building 7 is the closest to POR, and yes, you do walk along the river. You're gonna love it!
