Port Orleans French Quarters Was So Quiet
- Thread starter Iteachwood
- Start date
My wife just loved the Biegets....pool was very nice too..clean..not too hectic like all stars....all rooms really only a short walk to food court and bus area. We have been to all the moderates and some delux and I would say this was the quietest most relaxing, others more lively so to speak and love all of them but French Quarters was just right for wife and i.

I just got back from a stay at POFQ myself (8/20-8/28), and I could not agree more! I've stayed at OKW, Poly, Contemporary, Yacht Club...POFQ wins out over all of them. It's the best combination of theme, amenities, and price, in my opinion. My absolute favorite
Glad you had a good time, too!

My favorite moderate resort, and one of my favorite resorts on property!

The downside to being the first pickup is that after that bus picks you up, you have to make 4 stops at Riverside. That was frustrating.
The place was definitely quiet, but it felt kind of..dead to me. I prefer a place with a little more atmosphere (not zoo-ey like All Stars, but something along the lines of Boardwalk).

Thankfully, during our stay last month (8 nights), we only had to share a bus with Riverside once (from DTD). Oddly enough, it actually went to the Riverside stops first (on my last trip, we had to share a few times, and it always went to FQ first).
I'm not sure if it depends on the season, but I'm glad to say the bus sharing didn't affect us much.
I tend to prefer a quieter atmosphere myself, but I did like that I could hear live music every night if I wanted to (without it keeping me up if I didn't :lol
. I have to admit, though,that I would LOVE to stay at BW someday!

We were at WDW from 9-3-11 to 9-10-11, stayed at POFQ again. Loved it. We usually go either between Christmas and New Years, or in July or August. when it can be crowded, but this was awesome. I love this resort. The theming is so good, the boat to DTD, the hot tub and pool are good and even at CHristmas were never as crowded as POP. Only wish the hot tub was closer to the pool. Food court is ok, not as good as POP selection wise, but it is a lot calmer. Love the new rooms with the Queen beds. Double sinks and the curtain are important to us. I have also stayed at POR, but I love how small POFQ is, so that everything is very close and there is not a lot of walking to do around the resort, especially after spending the day walking around the parks when your feet are killing you.

I really Love Pofq . I like that it feels a little off the beaten path and I think because there isnt a Signature resturant on-site it keeps the resort Hoppers from coming over and filling the place up. With The boat available to go downtown you have a ton of good food available anyway.

Love this thread! We will be staying there for the first time Dec. 2-5. To all of you that have stayed there - is there a preferred building?? Just wondering if I should make a special request. It will just be DH and I for a quick "second honeymoon":animwink: so something quiet and romantic is what we're looking for!
