Just returned from 4-night stay at POFQ, and except for one small glitch, it was great!

Okay, small glitch first, then onto the good things.... We took DME to the resort, and were told that our luggage should be in our room in about 2-3 hours. No problem, this was just before noon and we were planning on spending the day and most of the evening at MGM. Well, when we got back to our room just after 10 pm, our luggage was not there. I called Bell Services, and at first I was told "Your bag should have been delivered to your room at 12:30". Well... yes, it should have been, but it wasn't, so where is it? It took them about 20 minutes, but they did track it down and brought it right over to our room.

Other than that small incident (and since they found and brought the bag over in less than half an hour I really can't get too worked up over it), everything else was great!
I faxed a room request a couple of days prior to check in (I'm almost 7 months pregnant and we asked for a ground floor room in building four), and this request was granted - our room was even ready for us even though we were checking in just after 11 am. No problems with Mousekeeping, our room was fresh and clean every day.
CMs were friendly and helpful. Very pleased with the food court, good selection available. Great pool and hot tub (even though I could only put my feet in the hot tub!). Bus service was efficient, the only time we had to wait for a 2nd bus was the night we were leaving MGM just after Fantasmic... other than that, it seemed that buses were just pulling up as we approached the gates and we didn't have to wait at all :)

Overall, I would say that we had a great experience and definitely plan to stay at POFQ again!
 
That's wonderful! (the minor glitch not withstanding) We, too, loved POFQ. We thought it was a charming, cozy resort. The CM's were very friendly!!
 
Glad you enjoyed the resort. We will be there in four days ... hooray ... :cool1: and are looking forward to our 12th stay there since it opened. We really enjoy this resort! :banana:
 
NJR, welcome home. I, too, adore PO-FQ and will definitely stay there again (I am currently considering it for my family's Summer vacation).

If you have any photos to share of your stay, please post a link to them here.
 

POFQ is great -we stayed here last trip and really enjoyed it too!
 
Thanks for the report. THat's where I want to stay next time too. I'm glad you had a nice time. ::MinnieMo
 
From the time we left MCO, we got to POFQ in just under an hour, and that was including the two stops (Old Key West and Saratoga Springs) that DME made before getting to POFQ. The order of drop off that day was OKW - SS - POFQ - and POR last. I would guess that the drop off order is the same every time, but I could be wrong.
 
and we are DVC'ers but like to try the resorts too before each DVC stay
 
Glad you loved the resort, it is our favorite as well.....good luck with your new little disney fan!! :goodvibes
 
Glad to hear you had such a wonderful time at that resort. It's my favorite moderate resort at WDW!
 
Glad to hear you had such a great stay at POFQ. DW and I stayed there for the first time last year and loved it as well. Giving value a try for the first time at POP, leaving tommorow and can't wait to see what we think. :wave2:
 
Thanks for the good report. We'll be staying there in two weeks and with some of the negative reports on housekeeping I've been reading lately, I was getting a little nervous.
 
Thanks for the report, we are leaving in 2 days and we are very excited, it is our first time in the moderates and from the pictures I have seen it looks great!

How long is the boat ride to DTD?
 
Um, I think it's 15 minutes or so. Very nice. You go past the Treehouse Villas too which are now used for housing for international students.
 
Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!! I can't wait to see how great it is! :flower:
