What building at POFQ?

We will be staying at POFQ next week and I'd like to make a building request. I have moderate rheumatoid arthritis and we are bringing my 71 year old MIL. I'd like something near the food court and pool for my DD. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I think 2, 5, and 6 were the ones most suggested to me by people who have stayed there before. They are more interior than exterior (with parking lot view). Everything is supposedly very close as the resort is small. I wouldn't worry about being far from anything!

I'm going in August and requested a room in building 2, 5 or 6. We stayed here before and were in building 4, and that was perfectly fine, we just wanted to lower our chances of a parking lot view. If you're looking for the food court and pool exclusively, I would pick 2 or 5 because they are the closest to those areas. I can't remember where the bus stop is off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it is outside the front entrance, in which case those two buildings (2 & 5) are the closest to the stop as you can get!

Somehow we've ended up in building #2 all three times we've stayed there. I have no complaints about the location. It's close to the food court and the pool. We had the perfect location in May. We were in building #2, first floor, corner room with two windows. I hope we get that lucky again in September.

this resort is on the small side so most rooms are pretty close to everything, I recommend 5101 it is a corner king size unit on the ground floor close too everything.

We got a room in Building 2 last April, and it was close to the pool and the food court.

Building 5 gets you close to pool, food and bus stop. Here's a map of the resort. http://www.wdwinfo.com/maps/PortOrleansMap.pdf Scroll down to the purple at the bottom for POFQ. The greeen is POR.

I too will be there next week and have requested either 2,3,4 or 5 for buildings of choice as I don't want 1, 6, or 7. So let's see how we both make out.

I ask for Building 4, facing the pool and near the food court. If they can fulfill that request, you'll be on the wing of building 4 that puts you close to everything, including the buses.

I wish I could remember what building we were in---- it was terrific. I think it was 4, but I'm not sure.

I had a 2nd floor, bldg 6 (with a waterview without asking for it ) and it was great. Away from the pools (noise wise) but close enough if you wanted to swim.

Do the corner rooms only have king-size beds? I would like a corner room but need 2 beds.
