Will be taking my first solo trip end of next month and was able to book a room here! This will be my first time staying at a moderate, previously staying at Pop ans All Star Movies. What are some things that I should be taking advantage of while staying here? I've been reading through the info here and on Touring Plans. Will definitely make time to walk over to POR, possibly the boat over to Disney Springs. Thanks in advance!
We love "adult beverage time" at Scat Cat's, after a busy park day! LOL But one of the greatest things you will find about POFQ is the food service at the Floatworks; although POFQ is the only mod without table service, you won't miss it. Be sure to take your time in there, and look around at all of the little nods to "Princess & The Frog" - I won't spoil it except to say that Mama Odie's bottles... I still get chills every time I look up there! The food is consistently good as well.
The Resort itself is small, and so generally it feels very private and quiet. We love the evenings, when the carriage rides run along the river (extra fee) and when the movies on the lawn bring everyone out to sit on the grass and watch the movie! There's only one pool - remember it's a small Resort! - but there's something for everyone, including a splash pad that is popular with the little nuggets. If you need to do a load of laundry, the laundry room is basically right in the middle, next to the pool. All of the Cast Members are so nice and friendly, and our family has never regretted a stay there.
BTW - those boat rides up and down the Sassagoula? They're kind of addictive... We love to travel back and forth to Disney Springs this way - it really makes you wish that Disney had boat service EVERYWHERE on property!
While at POR see if you can catch YeeHaw Bob's show - he is a literally a legend, and the (free) show is on our "must do" list! We tend to sit at the back, and enjoy an adult beverage, and leave the tables closer to the stage for the families with little nuggets, but there's really not a bad seat in the place. In that same room, they have also been running Disney trivia nights, so be sure to check the schedule at POR!
Have fun!
