That's one major reason why I was thinking of trying POR, it's similar and so it has to be great, right?

Originally Posted By tonyanton I'd say the only downsides of POFQ are the lack of a full-service restaurant (they closed the one there several years back) and the lack of a "quiet pool." POR has a full-service restaurant and several quiet pools, though it is a larger resort, room-wise. I also personally like the quick-serve food spot and entry theming better, but that's just a matter of opinion.

Originally Posted By dzy76 Thanks. I'll keep those in mind. Would they be far away from Old Man's Island?
