Any news on POFQ refurb?

[jennab55]

Just FYI for anyone who was following. New rook pics were posted on the port orleans . org FB page. Not sure if I’m able to share the link here. I’ll attach a few pics though. Still just 2 queen beds. Here is also what the admin of that page posted:

“
Port Orleans French Quarter refurbished room in building 1. About 60+ guests should be sleeping in one of these tonight. Some rooms will have walk-in showers instead of tubs, not sure how many as yet.

Sliding doors to vanity and bathroom areas, and a glass shower door. Lots more storage than before. Reading lamps by beds, and a small table for the guest on the far side of the bed. USB-A and USB-C ports. Beverage coolers not fridges. Cute little wooden step for kids to reach the basins (and adults to reach the safe!).”

i was hoping for a keurig instead of that little coffee maker they have

Me too on the keurig. I wonder how they decide which resorts get them. I was also hoping for a pull down queen bed that converts to a couch, but I know others did not want that. Just nice when kids in the room for places to sit when bed isn’t in use.

I’m torn, love parts of it (door design, bathroom flooring, sliding door, art, etc) but dislike other parts (couch rather than chairs, blue gray furniture rather than brown)… overall I like it though. Happy to see our favorite resort avoid the over the top IP treatment some of the other resorts have gotten.

Someone mentioned corner rooms still have 2 chairs instead of the little couch

Good to hear, not a deal breaker for us either way, we like to grab some boozy beignets after a long day at the park so as long as we have a place to relax and eat them I’ll survive.

Of all the recent resort redo’s this is probably my favorite, we love this resort though so I’m probably biased in its favor.

Thank you for posting. Looks pretty nice. Even sans Keurig.

i hope they still keep the king bed rooms. they’re usually pretty nice & spacious. usually have a corner room window like this. sorry if this pic is dated.

Just wondering if anyone has any news on the POFQ refurb? Everyone seems to be pretty tight lipped about it. Nothing on the fb pages about what the new rooms will look like or anything!

I just stayed for the first time in this resort, last night. Lady say i got a refurbed room in building 1. Had no idea it was this soon! Loving it!

Do you have 2 chairs instead of the bench then? Also, did they change the shower head in the shower and is the AC unit still the same?

like the change to a walk in shower

We stayed in a corner King in 2017 must say the redo looks much better

I’ve seen pics of both so sounds like some rooms have standing shower and some still have a tub, but both with glass doors.

2 chairs. No idea. AC unit is under the window. Ive never stayed here before.

Anywhere else you can recommend? I would gladly stay at the Four Seasons, but someone would vote me down.

Thank you for the wonderful recommendation Nickys. We've stayed there before and really thought the resort was so beautiful and wonderful. Is is so wonderful to eat at Boma and for the wildlife overlook. It really made my day awhile ago when a wonderful naturalist from Africa gave me beads after an activity. Isn't it always the little things in life that are always the best? The naturalist there are always so very nice ad wonderful there. I'm really kind of a Jack Hanna guy and Jeff Corwin guy when it comes to animals. I'd hope to travel to Africa for a real safari one time. It's on my bucket list sometime My wife thought that even though the resort was so wonderful and very hospitable taht was a little bit further to travel for the buses to the other parks besides AK. We've stayed there and had the animals over our balcony and it was so amazing to me. My King Charles would be so jealous is the learned about all this though

I was just kidding about the Four Seasons, though
