You will never go back to Values, that's what I think. I am not on here a lot and haven't been here as long as all of you, but I do recognize that you are a big promoter of the Values and "why spend the extra money for just a room and all" kind of guy. There is
absolutely nothing wrong with that and for many years I would say the same thing...but you'll love the POFQ. I always stay there now. I have just booked my 35th trip since 1996, my first trip, and have stayed at POFQ probably 20 of those trips.
For the extra money, you'll get a nicer room, slightly larger room, two sinks and two comfy queen beds. The pillows are horrible but they give you plenty... :lol You'll love the fridge you don't have to pay 10 bucks a day for. I always stop at the grocery before arrival and have milk, water, yogurts, beer, soda, juice, etc...and it's nice not having to wait several hours for them to bring you a fridge that you then get to wait for several hours to see if it's working or not....my last two experiences at ASMovies.
You'll love the tranquility after a day at the parks. You'll love just taking walks around the resort and visiting all of the fountains and courtyards. You'll love the beniets beneits, whatever.... I love the music, it's so calming. You'll love the sound of the horse hooves when the carriage rides are going on around the "streets." You'll love the ambiance at night, the way the "streets' are lit. That's what I love...I'm not into the Mardi Gras scene, but I love the resort in spite of that. If you're one to sit poolside or visit the poolside bar, you'll love Shelly....she's awesome. On two occasions, I have witnessed her getting recognized by the resort management for a job well done...balloons, the whole nine yards.
The food court is limited in choices but good food and for the first time, just this past January, I walked down to PORS, a ten minute walk, and had a couple of dinners at their food court. They have a larger and better selection and less echoey dining room. If you like to go to DTD, the boats along the river are the way to go. It does get a little chilly at night but I really enjoy it and the boats are frequent, more so than the buses in my opinion.
I really love this resort and have stayed at all of the mods, values and three deluxes...this is my pick from now on. I live very frugally and could afford to enjoy a deluxe resort if I chose too....but because of my frugality, I really would get no more enjoyment out of a deluxe than I do POFQ.
I lied, I have never stayed at AS Sports.
