Yes, I agree with this, but I don't drink, so I cannot comment on a pool bar. Or even on a pool, since I rarely use it, no matter what resort I'm staying at. Especially not when it's 45 degrees out.
I respectfully disagree. Love Mardi Grogs.

I think the main pools are similar except for theming. Both are very large and spread out. Short water slides. Small hot tubs. Better kids area at FQ, but that won't matter to you.
I prefer the quiet pools at POR for relaxation, particularly the ones in AB. But I doubt I would walk from FQ to use one. Just considering the main pools, I don’t think there is a real difference relaxation wise.
The updated rooms are finished in Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4. They are currently redoing Buildings 6 and 7. The last building is Building 5 which has not been touched but it is still open with non-updated rooms. Pool view rooms are in Buildings 2 and 5, so you have a 50/50 with that one. River View would be Buildings 1,2,5,6,7. You would have a good chance with getting either 1 or 2 since they are re-doing 5 and 7. King bed rooms are corner rooms in each building. If you push the button on PO-FQ, I would put a notation in your check-in for and updated room. Best of luck on your room choice and your race.
No. POR has a fishing area near the main pool. Not sure if you can bring your own, I think it may just be a bamboo pole you rent from Disney. You can do a fishing charter on Bay Lake area, but you can't fish off a pontoon rental. And I do believe FW has a specific area where catch and release is allowed.
I have seen folks fishing with their own gear over the years … never watched long enough to see if they were told to stop or not
