What is the difference between POFQ and POR?

Is one better than the other?

POFQ is much smaller, with only one pool. POR has a themed pool and 5 quiet pools. The pool at POFQ is really best suited for little kids, and those who just like to swim and float, as the slide is very small.

POFQ has one bus stop, POR 4. The food court at POR is larger (which makes sense) and has a better selection of food imho.

POR has a sit down restaurant, POFQ no longer does. Though you can walk from one resort to the other, so that may not be such a big deal.

I have stayed at both resorts multiple times. You can't go wrong with either one!

I agree with the PP. They are very nice resorts. POFQ is particularly good for those who can't handle a lot of walking. It is a very compact resort. And I dearly miss their old sit-down restaurant, BonFamille's. , which has been closed for a while now. It is great fun to walk around POR and check out the different areas. And both resorts offer watercraft service to DTD, which is a very nice alternative to the bus.

check out this website - www.portorleans.org. It shows both resorts. There's lots of info there - even forums.

I've stayed at both and POFQ is much smaller. That means everything is smaller - food court, one bus stop, one pool. The food court has big mardi gras type masks hanging from the ceilings that creeped my DD out when we stayed there when she was little.

POR is a larger resort, bigger food court, bigger feature pool, leisure pools, more bus stops.
I like POR better but do stay at POFQ sometimes for a change.

One thing to know is that you can use the pool at POFQ and POR because they are sister resorts. That's kind of cool if you are a pool person.
