POFQ or POR?

[JohnD]

Why?

 

[Minnie Mum]

POFQ. Love the smaller size, ease in getting around, friendliness of the CMs, and of course the theming.

POR, not a fan of the size and multiple bus stops.

*POFQ* As the poster above said; size, easy to get around, the pool & splash playground,(for the kids) & the all important beignets!

 

[DarthVader]

I prefer POR, because of what it offers. The pool is better the food court is larger and most buses (at least when I last stayed there) go to POR before heading to POFQ

It was a toss up but based on previous posts we will be going to POFQ May 2019 reason as others have said smaller size We will see

I do prefer POR as the theming is lush and the backstory fits really well. But we tend to stay at POFQ due to it’s smaller size. The fact they’re connected and you can use facilities at both means it’s really a no brainier for us on where to actually stay.

I voted for POR mainly because that resort will always be home to me and my family. I have stayed there since I was a baby and absolutely love the ambiance, the size (great paths to run and bike ride), and can't forget the awesome main building containing Boatwright's and the Food Court!

POR one on our last trip because of the princess themed rooms.

French Quarter because of the size and the food court has a nice selection.

I prefer Riverside because of the larger size (it just seems to me more quiet), bigger food court, table service option, Yeehaw Bob, and the pool area. It also doesn't hurt that there are typically better room discounts at Riverside than French Quarter lol. There is something about Riverside that makes me and my husband relax as soon as we enter the property. You can't go wrong with either option though. We still visit French Quarter to listen to the musicians and get their beignets.

I'm liking the responses. Other questions, for either resort, do you have a preference for Garden vs. River View? For POR, do you like Alligator Bayou or Magnolia. I've stayed in Alligator Bayou and liked it.

We've stayed in all of the room categories at POFQ and standard and garden views in POR. Frankly, I think location (distance to the bus stop and food court) is more important than the view. The mods don't have balconies, so the only time you can enjoy the view is when you are coming from or to your room. Leaving your curtains and blinds open means no one inside the room has any privacy from people passing by on the sidewalk or verandah just outside.

Thanks. I’m currently holding a river view room in POFQ for December and wondering about switching views and/or resorts. I’ve pretty much decided on one of the PO resorts for boat access to DS.

Which area do you like better: Aligator Bayou or Magnolia Plantation?

 

[John park hopper]

What floor at POFQ would you suggest for garden view and less noise and building close to bus pick up?

 

[TARDIS]

I voted French quarter after having resort envy when we walked over from Riverside. Riverside is beautiful! But very large and sprawling and could be a long walk to the main building. While FQ is small so you are never far from the amenities and I preferred the look over alligator bayou. Both are excellent resorts though

Probably the third being the highest.

 

[Gainesvillain]

POFQ . . . In a word: beignets.

POFQ...probably my favorite moderate resort.
