POFQ Boat

[Sassagoula-Rvr]

We are heading down in late May...I heard someone say that the boat service to DTD, or Disney springs is not running due to construction? Is that true?

Would be a major bummer!

 

[MissingDisney]

It's running. No worries.

 

[Sassagoula-Rvr]

Great, I'm thinking a boat ride may be in order for a trip to the Dockside Margaritas and sample the Boathouse!

Actually excited about Disney Springs!

 

[MissingDisney]

Was there a couple of weeks ago...really impressed with how it's coming along. Very nice! Missed the opening of DM . Will have to hit them up this fall!

You will like the boat service. The boats are much smaller than the ferries or friendship boats and the scenery is great. Last time when we got bored at downtown disney we rode it just for fun. It goes to Riverside from there as well so be sure to take advantage of it to go to the pool at Riverside or have breakfast there, or just walk around.

Only if you're staying at the resort

 

[Nick Pappagiorgio]

When I was there they were considered one resort and as such you could use amenities at either.

I believe official policy does allow POR and POFQ guests to use facilities at either.

 

[RonAnnArbor]

Yes that is correct, you may use either pool, or any of the other amenities at either Riverside or French Quarter.

 

[Sassagoula-Rvr]

Yep!! Anyone reading this and wavering....French Quarter is great!!! We have recommended it many times and everyone loves it! This trip will be our 6th there!!

Actually since its both port Orleans they are sister resorts- you can swim at either. Big perk

 

[Stellajack]

We're are staying at POFQ for the first time, though our heart is actually at POR. I really do hope all the positives for POFQ are correct.

OP didn't state where they're staying - hence my post. Nice to learn that there is some pool hopping allowed

About to stay at POFQ for the first time in a few weeks, though I've visited and walked the grounds a number of times while staying in Riverside. Personally the only thing that is a minus for me is that the FQ food court creeps me out a bit with all the parade float masks and statues hanging overhead...

Don't drink too many of those Margarites ... on your return trip to your resort ... you might get "sea sick" ... LOL

I remember my Mom trying to explain (a sanitized version of) Mardi Gras to me as a child while I was eating Mickey Waffles. Those were the days.

Haha true!!! Luckily we will not be in any huge hurry the next morning.

That's one thing I've learned over the years...just don't rush it and enjoy the trip!! You can't do it all in one go around...so don't try!
