A few hints

Staying at the FQ mid September was perfect. Loved the quiet, compact resort and everyone was on spot friendly. A couple of suggestions:
If you are arriving in the evening, maybe after 4 or 5 DO NOT use the luggage tags for Magical Express. Just claim your own luggage and take it to the bus right outside the baggage claim area. We arrived at the hotel at 8:30pm and our luggage arrived at 2AM !!! The return bus time they gave us was perfect even though we thought it was a little earlier than needed. They know what they are doing so stick to the time they give you. Building 3, garden view was perfect for getting to everything without a lot of walking. No noise from the pool or the riverboat horns. The buses were plentiful, hardly any wait at the hotel for any of the parks and the same on the return. It is a moderate resort that is fairly priced for an onsite property. Riverside was too large and spread out although very pretty and well kept. Do your homework on reviews and you will be OK ..
