Although only having one bus stop for us it was never busy or crowded. If the bus was also doing Riverside it would usually pick them up first and FQ last in the morning to go to the parks and in the evening would always drop off at FQ first! So good!
Also the food court was brilliant! We never had to wait for a table or wait in lines for food. One morning for for a change we decided to check out the River Side food court but it was so busy we decided not to leave FQ again.

BTW folks, I’ve now booked 9 nights at POFQ next August! Thanks for all your help and great comments. Much appreciated.

Just looked at your pictures from FQ. Does FQ serve different fries compared to the rest of Disney. They actually look like proper chips, not fries. Especially the usual Disney fries with the skin on the end.

You can check what time the next bus is leaving POFQ on the MDE app so you don’t have to wait around for ages.

The food court is brilliant! I have a few photos from last month here - https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho... php?t=1130545
It’s not normally too busy. My top tip, you can order your food and then pay for it while it’s cooking to save yourself a little time.

Yes they are proper chips and they are delicious! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the usual skin on fries there too but I’m not 100% sure.

We've just returned from POFQ last week and like you have stayed at CBR before so we loved the smallness of this resort, the Beignets mmmm It's lovely to walk around and it's a lovely walk to POR for the carvery steak which is lovely (be aware though they don't serve it until after 5 which we found out after we had walked over about 4ish!) and the boat to DS. As for the buses, no problems going to the parks & loved the app but for some reason HS never had times but we never seemed to wait long for one, shared with Riverside a few time but as for coming back well that's a whole other story, we seemed to wait an age quite a few times for a bus when some resorts got one after the other, but the real pee take was when we shared with Riverside coming from AK at closing!

We found the same thing, buses to the parks were great but coming home was a lottery as to how long you had to wait, where every other resorts bus stops which were within sight seemed to have a regular flow of buses. Would be great if they had a tracker at the parks like they do at the resort.

Great choice, we stayed at POR but went over to the POFQ pool and food court a couple of times - beignets not nearly as good when cooler though, so eat as soon as you get them! And go across to POR bakery for a magic cookie bar...you won’t regret it!

Glad it wasn't just us who noticed
To be fair though it also happened when waiting for a boat back to RPR
Just to add Nimbus, the loop didn't feel as long as CBR around Riverside if we shared
