I just got off the phone with reservations and upgraded from ASMo to POFQ. I have never stayed at POFQ and was wondering if I made the right choice. The upgrade only cost $190 including taxes. It seemed like a fair price.

DW and I have stayed their 4 years ago. It was a very nice and quiet place to stay. Loved the themeing of the resort as well. The past 3 trips we have stayed at riverside because of 5. That is a nice resort too except the bus comes from POFQ first.

... a very nice and quiet place to stay.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping for. The All Stars are a bit too rowdy for me at times.:mickey:

If you're looking for quiet and peaceful you definitely did right. POFQ is one of my favorite places. It's more New Orleans than it is Disney (AsMo is the best Disney themed place) but it's also less noisy.

Love POFQ - it's a small resort and everything's in walking distrance. There's also a nice boat ride back from The Marketplace.

Thanks everyone. Seems like I did ok then. My ex-gf that I'm going with is splitting the costs, so I tried to keep the costs down. I will just foot the bill on this upgrade and not bother with splitting.:mickey:

We did the same! Upgraded from POP to POFQ. I just didn't want to go back to the values this trip. We do the values sometimes, but I really like the mods better, and POFQ is the best moderate (of course I have to add "in my opinion")!

I think you did a great thing! ENJOY!

We have stayed at both a few times. We love movies for a value resort. When we stay at a moderate we love POFQ. The resort is small enough that no matter where you are you're close to the pool, food court, bus, boat ride to DD, and laundry. It is quiet and relaxed. We stayed at CBR in September and decided that, althought CBR is a beautiful resort, we really love POFQ for everything I mentioned above. We always ask for building 5. It is a lovely view of the court yard or pool, depending what side you get, and close to everything. We'll be staying at POFQ next September.

Values are fine, but the moderates are much better. You made the right choice. If you have time, visit POR for a bit, as you can walk or take the boat. I recommend Boatwright's if you're looking for sit-down meal options. :mickey:

Definitely the right choice. However, once you stay at POFQ you won't ever want to stay in a value property again. Be prepared for a great resort.

Thanks, I just got back from a stay at the BC 10/4 to 10/8. I have stayed at most of the resorts. I just have not stayed at POFQ. For me it typically depends on who I am going with. I like the values with the nephews. Loved the Deluxe with mom...etc.:mickey:

It has been a few years since we stayed here and that time things were looking pretty worn in tired. Have they done any renewing of the rooms lately?

YEEEESSSSSS!!!! The bus service can only be better at POFQ. Plus, the larger rooms are something you don't think is necesary until you have a small room. You made the right choice.
