POR or POFQ?

[Kairi_7378]

My husband prefers POR. He found it to be very quiet and peaceful. I was not a fan of the decor.

I prefer the architecture of POFQ and liked the layout of the resort a little better. I did not find it to be loud at all. (Other than for the party atmosphere when I went for my coffee one morning... the cast members were very lively!)

We would stay at either resort again, though.

We are for POFQ. We loved it. It was quiet and close to everything. We could go over to POR anytime we wanted. We loved the nightly music to relax and have an end of the day drink. Over all this is our favorite place to stay

POR is our choice. We love the theming and think the food court is one of the best of all Disney resorts .

Another vote for POFQ for all the reasons mentioned. We also love the boat to DTD!

I know that several people really love POFQ, but we stayed there ONCE, and it is my least favorite of any resort. We will not stay there again.

The buses were strange, they were never on the same route...ever! Sometime you would go to POR, sometimes you would go straight to a park, etc.

Once we were in the resort shop and my DH asked the lady working there where to find something and she looked at another lady working there and said, "This is why I hate working in this resort, people are always asking me questions."

We had other issues, and I don't normally dis anything Disney, I just really didn't like anything about this resort except the boat ride to DTD.

We have, however, discussed staying at POR sometime.

We just did 9 nights at POR two weeks ago, we love the resort and have stayed at both.

Even though people complain about the size of POR, it actually feels more intimate because of how spread out it is. I loved my walks in the morning or late evening and you never felt like you were in a crowd.

POR definitely, hands down, has the better pool (if that matters) and has quiet pools.

POR has the River Roost lounge and I believe Wed-Saturdays has YeeHaw Bob Jackson performing, and he is hilarious, a great entertainer. I've never heard a single bad review about him.

POR has a bigger and better foodcourt and had sit down dining option (Boatwrights).

POR I think has a bigger gift shop.

I just find POR to boast more options and it can accomodate 5, which is a must for us.

What Ghost said. We love POR, but for us it's a no brainer, as we have a family of 5. However, my son is getting ready to head off on a mission and then college. So, we'll soon fit in a room for four. That's bittersweet.

However, he'll be heading out west to college....so we can arrange to meet him at Disneyland! Woot!

That's our thought too. We love POFQ, and love POR. When we just want to relax and hang out, we love the small size and theming of POFQ. When we want to take advantage of the larger resort, the gift shop, etc. it is a quick hop over to POR. Best of both worlds!

We also like both, but chose FQ for its smaller size. We are going in July and anything that will help us with the crowds is welcome.
