Just called today and switched from Pop to POFQ. I was afraid that Pop would not be very relaxing when coming back from the parks. So yall tell me how much better will I like POFQ. Extra money worth it?

I switched from Movies to POFQ and for us the extra money was well spent. The atmosphere is relaxing, the resort is compact and lovely, the pool is fun and the people are friendly. We were able to wind down after the parks.

How long does it take to get to Epcot using the buses? Epcot looks to be right accross the street looking at a map (google earth), would Epcot be the park of choice to use disney transportation to hop to another resort? We have ADR's at some of the other resorts and are looking for the best way to resort hop if we find ourselves back at our room before dinner.

The hot tub is next to the laundramat and between the laundramat and the food court. It is closest to building 5 and also next to the small playground area.

every resort has that. There's no such thing as staying at a WDW resort and catching a single bus that makes stops at all 4 theme parks and the water parks and Downtown Disney.

At POFQ, you wait at the bus stop until you see a bus coming that's marked with the destination of your choice.

You're not intruding, that's why the thread is here!! Feel free to ask away......

Look at thge bottom of the picture, and look at the letters "ans" in "Orleans" and you'll see a vertical line of trees going up from there. Follow that line.

You'll soon see the porte cochere (white roof with 3 black vertical lines on it), and keep going up and you'll see a narrow green roof between two white-roofed buildings. The building with the white roof on the left is the food court, and the building with the white roof on the right is the front desk/shop/arcade.

Keep following that same vertical line upwards, following the blacktop path. You will cross a horizontal line of blacktop (that street is named Rue D'Baga) and a horizontal line of trees.

You can kind of make out a continuation of the original vertical line (which started with that line of trees in the parking lot) as it goes towards the pool. Just past that horizontal line of trees and to the left you'll see something in the photo that looks round with a hole in the middle, sort of like a green donut. That green donut is the spa area.

ok TIgerKat..I see you are going to the F & W festival...do you think POFQ would be a good location?

I got a room rate of $119 w/AAA discount....just looking for anyone's input

Thanks

TY CleveRocks, this makes sense, being new I had to ask ,just for peace of mind.

This is my first year doing F&W and we'll only be there for the last few days of it so I sure hope POFQ (my first time too) will be a good location. Ideally we'd stay at BWI and be able to walk to EPCOT but just can't afford it this trip. I think POFQ will be just fine for us!

That's a great rate!

dh asked me a silly question, but i couldnt find an answer, does POFQ offer an iron/ironing board in the room?
The LAST thing I want to do on vacation is iron!

The iron and ironing board are in the closet area, which is really part of the bathroom sink area.

Look straight through the main building and towards the pool...you will see a bush that looks like an "O" on the left....the hot tub is in there.

We will be at POFQ from March 27th to the 31st....anyone else going to be there at the same time???
