PhotoPass+
I just pre-ordered PhotoPass+ for our October trip. They will be sending me a voucher that I have to redeem when I get to WDW. I have never used this service before. Is this something that I can do when I check-in at POFQ?

When I'd asked about if she could even go on the slide people had said she'll be allowed down with a Life Jacket on and can be caught. Just wondering, if there are no life jackets, will she NOT be allowed down? Hoping someone can confirm... It's something to consider when you have a young child so that you can set appropriate expectations. I'd prefer NOT to pack a life jacket.

There are usually life-jackets available, but even if there aren't I doubt they would prevent your DD from using the slide without one, as long as there's someone at the top and the bottom to help her of course. Some 3 year olds are very good in the water anyway. The POFQ slide is pretty tame anyway, I think she'll be fine. The Riverside one is a bit longer and faster, in case you visit the pool over there.

I just now paid off our package so I feel like we are truly on the way to POFQ. I think that I'll go read this whole thread now.

Getting excited! We'll be back at POFQ July 1-9 and then again July 25-30. We are trying to switch views, but so far no luck. Oh well....I'll just be happy with what we have!

Just back from a WONDERFUL week at POFQ. Just got home at 2am so a detailed review will be coming in a day or so. Can't think of how POFQ could have been any better for us.
If you have any ques. please let me know.

MamaMary-
Did you request a certain section? where was your room located? How were the buses? Mom wants to know how the food court was...I think the large statues are kinda scary...  Glad you had a good trip. We are 72 days away from ours. First stay at POFQ

Food court was good. We had breakfast a few times and counter service dinner twice. All meals were very good. Food court large statues were kind of weird but after the first day we didn't even notice. this was our first stay here.

We are at POFQ now and it's just beautiful. After driving through POR, I'm very glad we decided to change to FQ instead. It's very quaint.
A few highlights (and low lights) * we requested 3rd floor, corner room (paid for riverview) - we got exactly what we asked for in building #7. Probably one of the furthest rooms from the pool and lobby, but the walk is fine. * waited over 25 minutes this morning for an AK bus. Watched multiple buses for every thing else go by as our line got longer and longer. There was a transportation CM present taking notes and reporting in. Finally decided to just hop in a cab ($20). * I don't want to sound snobby or anti-kid (I have 3 of my own), but the hot tub has been packed with kids playing and splashing. I was surprised to read the rules and see that they allow kids over the age of 12 into the hot tub without adult supervision. Used it tonight for about 5 minutes until a large group of kids decided to use the area as "home base" for some game they were playing. * sometimes the bus is shared with POR, sometimes it isn't. * mousekeeping has done a great job in our room and we've had some very adorable towel animals. * DD is celebrating her 16th birthday and we came back to the room today to find an autographed photo of Mickey. * staff has been fantastic.
