Jake, see if this helps...I have stayed at the POFQ many times and POR once for two nights only. I have heard that the buses stop at POFQ first and only go to the South Depot at the Riverside, so obviously this is the better option for POFQ! What are your opinions?
@Lucky is right. We only encountered 1 time while staying at POFQ where we actually stopped at Riverside as well. We were still picked up first at POFQ and then made the 4 stops at Riverside. I'm pretty sure it was a Wednesday morning bus heading to HS. Even after 5 pickups, the bus was still only half full. Caveat emptor, this was the end of October, mid-week.When we've stayed at POFQ, POR and POFQ had separate MK buses, but shared buses to the other parks. The shared buses did go to POFQ first. I've stayed at one value resort, one deluxe, and three moderates, and POFQ is the clear winner in terms of bus transportation (wait time, travel time, civilized & comfortable queuing).

That was a reference to Pop Century. The waits and travel time on buses is probably better at Pop than most other resorts, but making you stand out in the sun to hold a place in line wasn't so great. Maybe they've changed that since I was there.How uncivilized and uncomfortable is the queuing at POR?

To answer what I think was the indirect question, though -- the busses are ALWAYS better at POFQ than at POR whether or not they service just the one resort or both. I've stayed at both and you always get to/from your destination faster at POFQ with the busses than at POR. On the other hand, your wait for the boats to DTD will be longer at POFQ than at POR unless you go before 5:00
Just curious, but why would the boat ride to DTD from POFQ be longer than POR? Isn't it closer to DTD on the Sassalouga? Does the boat skip POFQ and go to POR first?
If the boat is full (which usually happens during peak season or between 5PM and 7PM) the boat will bypass the dock at POFQ since no one can ride it standing up.
