"Hot & Wet Trip" Day 1
Just got back from the past week (July 13-20) and I've titled it "Hot & Wet".
My family (DD's 7 & 4) spent the week at Port Orleans-French Quarter and had a good time. I will start with Day 1 and then additional days will follow.
DAY 1: Our United plane arrived on time at 2:15pm and it took 63 minutes to get from the plane door to the registration desk at French Quarter. The bus had two other stops so I felt it was pretty good about that time.
We checked in and were assigned a 2nd floor room in Building 1, pretty much at the back of the resort. I was not very happy because I requested Building 4 and 1st floor and got neither and since I made the reservations and request 9 months ago. But I didn't let it ruin my good mood as the resort is not that big.
The weather was hot and humid (as expected) and we took a bus to Studios and headed for Tower of Terror (DD's favorite). Then we headed to ABC Commissary for quickservice dinner, which was not very good, even for a quickservice restaurant. Then the weather turned bad and it rained/stormed for 4 hours straight, but it didn't hurt our plans much because we were planned to rest and get ready for the next day.
Highlight: Tower of Terror
Lowlight: Bad meal at ABC Commissary
More to follow.............

When we were there in June, we tried to eat dinner at I think the Backlot Express and they were closing. We tried to eat anywhere and we either could not get a ressie or they were closing, and it was only around 5:30. Just a side note since I thought that was odd. I guess I am glad since you didn't enjoy your meal.
Anyway, sounds like a slightly rocky start to your vacation. I hope things look up for you and your family!

There's nothing like the beginning of a Disney vacation when your whole trip is stretching out in front of you! Although there were a few glitches, you're off to a good start!

POFQ is such a fun and wonderful resort. Even though all resort requests can't always be met, I bet you had a great room!

Wow, four hours is a long time for it to rain, but I am glad it didn't put a wrench into any big plans. At least you are there and even when it is hot and wet it is still more fun to be at WDW than at home!

I'm glad you gave the timeline from airport to hotel since that's where we are staying in 8 weeks. So we can be in the parks by noon hopefully.
I can't wait to hear more about your trip.
