Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter

Port Orleans French Quarter is litterally half the size of the other moderates with 1008 rooms, which might explain why I've had problems getting a room here. It is quite unlike the other moderates, as the French Quarter is supposed to be an urban setting, as opposed to the other 3 that are based on the spread out, laid back resort atmosphere.

I was there in December 2008 with a friend of mine, and enjoyed 85 degree weather while Chicago got sub-zero wind chills and 2 feet of snow. Ahhhh....

The resort is made of three story structures in seemingly random arrangements, perhaps to illustrate the haphazard nature of the planning in old New Orleans. I was on the first floor in room 3143, right off the parking lot. I'd estimate 100' from my car. Perfect.

How would I rate French Quarter among the other moderates? I'm not sure, since it's been years since I stayed at a place like Caribbean Beach, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again...
